The installation of eco-friendly solar street lights along Bonifacio Street in Barangay Zone 7, Talisay City, under Punong Barangay Sulpicio “Bingbing” Verdeflor Jr. has been completed, Mayor Neil Lizares said Wednesday, November 10.
“Aside from illuminating the streets for motorists and pedestrians alike at night, these lighting upgrades can help make our barangay community safer due to its crime prevention effect while also creating the conditions necessary for our residents and businesses to thrive,” Lizares said.
“This is not only as a crime deterrent initiative but this solar-powered street lights are economical to use, promote renewable energy and significantly lessen the carbon footprint of our communities and reduce our dependence on conventional energy. The absence of external wires also lessens the potential for accidents such as electrocution and overheating,” he added.
