The Village of New Maryland in New Brunswick has installed 13 Illumient solar-powered street lights, strategically spaced approximately 120-160 meters apart along a two-lane highway running through the center of the village, illuminating the sidewalk. It creates an environment where tourists and residents can stop to take advantage of the local businesses. In addition to welcoming visitors, this project is a key element of New Maryland’s green initiative. The municipality has been increasing its use of solar technology through government projects, such as a recent installation of solar panels on a municipal building, and by encouraging residents to consider solar as an alternative to traditional power sources for their personal energy consumption
