TAMPA, FLORIDA, Jan. 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Streetleaf, a leader in solar-powered infrastructure, is proud to announce the launch of its <>Shine On Florida initiative, a bold commitment to strengthen Florida communities against the growing challenges of climate change and hurricanes. <>Shine on Florida is a call to action for Florida’s utility companies, local governments, home builders, municipalities, HOAs and residents to rethink current infrastructure choices, and make Florida a model for climate-resilient infrastructure for shaping a safer, brighter future for Floridians and their communities. Through a shared effort to implement resilient infrastructure like solar-powered streetlights, the <>Shine On Florida initiative is designed to keep neighborhoods safe, sustainable, and illuminated even in the face of extreme weather now and in the future.
“<>Shine on Florida represents a proactive approach to strengthening our communities. Florida faces unique challenges, and Streetleaf is here and ready to offer a solution that not only meets those challenges but sets a new standard for community resilience,” said Liam Ryan, CEO of Streetleaf. “With over 8,000 lights already installed, and partnerships in place across the state, Streetleaf is ready to support Florida’s efforts towards a more resilient community, providing Florida with dependable lighting through this and future hurricane seasons.”
As part of <>Shine on Florida, Streetleaf seeks to connect with any and all new projects in Florida to provide a bid for their street and area lighting projects in 2025. Whether for new developments, municipal upgrades, or private projects, Streetleaf pledges to install the streetlights within 3 months of any signed contract in Florida in 2025. Further, any lights that are purchased before April 1 will be installed prior to the start of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season.
Streetleaf aims to demonstrate the value of solar-powered streetlights in creating safer, more sustainable communities.
Streetleaf’s first streetlights were installed in 2019 and since then all of them have stayed on through multiple direct hits from major hurricanes and tropical storms including, most recently, Hurricanes Ian, Isalia, Debby, Helene and Milton. With thousands more streetlights being installed in 2025, Streetleaf believes that it’s about more than lights – it’s about peace of mind, safety, and a commitment to future generations.
