When Vryburg Hospital installed two new solar carports - one single, one double - they needed a carport lighting solution that would match the intelligence of their renewable energy investment. The lights had to be safe, bright, and simple to deploy. They used Perion Lighting, working alongside Oryx Renewables, to make it happen.
The result? Uniform, energy-efficient illumination across every parking bay, installed cleanly and quickly with no disruption to the hospital grounds.

The Right Voltage Makes Everything Easier
Most carport lighting challenges come down to power. Run 230V AC through a carport structure and you're looking at conduit, trenching, electrical certification, cost and time stack up fast.
Perion Lighting's system runs on 48V DC, which changes the equation entirely. Solar installations naturally produce DC power, so there's no inverter waste and no messy AC-to-DC conversion. The lighting system speaks the same language as the solar panels, it's a seamless, native fit for any solar carport or shade port.
| "Running on 48V DC makes it a natural match for solar installations" - ensuring maximum efficiency and no energy lost in conversion. |
How Simple Is the Installation?
This is where carport lighting from Perion genuinely stands apart. The Vryburg Hospital project was completed without a single trench dug or extra pole erected. Here's how straightforward the process is:
-
One light, one bay. A single 3W LED is positioned per parking bay, delivering consistent, glare-free light exactly where it's needed.
-
Cable runs along the structure. The illumination cable is mounted directly onto the carport frame, no separate cable management system required.
-
Secured with stainless-steel wire. A neat stainless-steel wire run keeps everything tidy, durable, and visually clean.
-
Plug into the solar system. With 48V DC, the lights connect directly to the solar setup. No inverter, no electrician rework, no delays.
No trenching means no landscaping damage, no reinstatement costs, and no weeks of downtime. For a working hospital, that matters. The whole system goes up quickly and stays looking neat once it's done.

Client Feedback Said It All
After commissioning, Vryburg Hospital's feedback was straightforward: they were impressed, both with how the lights performed and how painlessly the installation came together. That combination, real-world brightness and a clean, fast fit-out, is exactly what Perion Lighting's system is designed to deliver.
Who Is This Right For?
If you're installing solar carports, shade ports, or any covered parking structure and need lighting that integrates simply and works reliably, this system was built for you. It's well-suited to:
