Solar Runway Lighting - Aviation Renewables has supplied solar runway lights to an airport in the Caribbean which has been operating solar runway edge lights for the last 12 years. The airport was one of the first civil airports in the region to install solar runway lights, solar taxiway lights and Solar Series Wind Cones in 2009. Since then, Aviation Renewables has supported the technical team with spares support, technical designs, maintenance and battery replacement. With solar runway lighting and radio control technology improving over the years, several new generations of solar runway edge lights have been developed. The next-generation solar runway edge lights will operate alongside the original solar runway lighting via the existing radio control network, thereby enabling the client to realize the expected service life of 15 years for the originally purchased lights.

Solar Runway Lights. Aviation Renewables has recently delivered Solar Series Elevated Runway Guard Lights to an Air National Guard base in the Northeast USA.

These self-contained units are designed to operate 24 hours per day, 365 days per year in this harsh northern climate. They feature a 45º tilted solar panel to maximize the collection of solar energy in winter, and robust cold-weather batteries to ensure performance through the toughest cold snaps.

LED PAPI. Aviation Renewables recently installed and commissioned two Solar Powered LED Precision Approach Path Indicators (PAPIs) at Marsh Harbour, Bahamas. The LED PAPIs are powered by a 1.5kW solar power system which will provide ample electricity to operate the PAPIs 24/7 with ample battery storage to ensure reliability through periods of poor weather.

Windsock Lighting - Aviation Renewables has been awarded a contract to supply and deliver solar LED windcones and a retro-reflective taxiway marker system for an African Civil Aviation Department. These technologies will be used in conjunction to the previously supplied LED runway lighting, LED threshold lighting, LED taxiway lighting, LED REILs (Runway End Identifier Lights), LED PAPIs and remote control operating systems at this airport. The airport is a flight school in eastern Africa, and this ICAO compliant LED airfield lighting system will enable the flight school to conduct night training, saving the students a large amount of money when compared to the previous practice of flying to the closest international airport several hundred miles away for this training. The lights will be housed in portable trailers, which will charge, transport and store the portable LED runway lighting system. Aviation Renewables conducted on-site technical training for our local representative, as well as staff from the Civil Aviation Authority. As a result of this training, the local representative was able to install this second phase of equipment unassisted and will continue to support the equipment through the expected lifetime of the products.

Solar Airfield Lighting - Aviation Renewables has delivered Solar Runway Lighting, Airport Barricades and Temporary Refurbishment Kits for a LED runway lighting project in the Caribbean . The original solar runway lighting had been installed and commissioned by Aviation Renewables in 2013. As part of a large airfield project, the original solar runway lights were scheduled to be re-located to a parallel taxiway during re-surfacing of the main runway.

Aviation Renewables delivered a retro reflective helipad marking system for a mine site in Canada. The versatile system will allow the helipad to receive MEDEVAC helicopters in the event of an emergency. The system exceeds the requirements of the helicopter operator, and consists of reflective helipad markers, and autonomous solar lighting for added conspicuity.

The wind cone, also called the 'windsock' is a colorful tool at each airport that offers relevant information to pilots, allowing them to quickly and easily determine the approximate wind speed and direction before taking off or landing.

Wind Cone Technology

Pilots have much more precise and technologically advanced ways of discovering wind speed and direction than looking at the windsock. But the windsock is still invaluable for the speed and accuracy of the information it can convey.

Portable airfield lighting. Aviation Renewables has been awarded a contract to supply, deliver and commission two portable LED airfield lighting systems for a central East African Civil Aviation Department.  Each portable LED airfield lighting system will consist of LED runway lighting, LED threshold lighting, LED taxiway lighting, LED REILs (Runway End Identifier Lights), LED PAPIs and remote control operating systems.  The lights will be housed in portable trailers, which will charge, transport and store the portable LED runway lighting system.  In addition to supplying portable LED airfield lighting, Aviation Renewables will be on-site to conduct technical training and commissioning for the civil aviation department personnel and airport operators in order to ensure safe operations, proper system deployment and routine maintenance schedules over the duration of the contract.

Portable Airfield Lighting System has been supplied, delivered and commissioned at Erik Neilson International Airport by Aviation Renewables. Located in Canada’s Yukon Territory, Whitehorse is home to Northern Canada’s largest international airport serving domestic, charter and international carriers. The Airport had a need for portable LED runway lighting capable of deployment during emergencies, construction activities and temporary runway closures. With the help of Aviation Renewables, the Airport selected an LED airfield lighting system consisting of LED runway, threshold, taxiway and REILs (Runway End Identifier Lights). A remote control operating system with two portable trailers capable of charging, transporting and storing the portable LED runway lighting system will be situated at the airport for operations year-round. At time of delivery, Aviation Renewables provided technical training to airport personnel in order to ensure safe operations, proper system deployment and routine maintenance.

Aviation Renewables has delivered two portable LED taxiway lighting systems to the Greater Toronto Airport Authority (GTAA), Canada's largest and busiest international airport. The LED airfield lights are stored in a custom trailer, ready for quick-deployment any day of the year. The standby LED taxiway lighting system helps ensure continuous operations, day or night, in case of an unexpected power outage, maintenance issue or temporary closure event within the airfield.

Aviation Renewables has been awarded a contract to supply portable airfield lighting systems solutions for an international airport in Northern Canada. After careful consultation with the airport management team, a system was designed, shipped and installed within 7 weeks for the runway-resurfacing project on the airport’s primary runway. Aviation Renewables was tasked to deliver LED PAPI systems powered by portable battery systems; threshold LED lighting systems powered by a Solar Series RMS portable charging station; and solar powered LED taxiway lighting. This LED lighting can be controlled via an RF remote control from either the ATC tower or ground personnel; or controlled by photocell for automatic dusk-to-dawn operation.
