solar led

ASTAC solar illumination for streets and places is based on innovative technology which is suitable for all applications. All products are from Austria/EU and are defined by the highest quality, exceptional performance and unrivalled operational lifetime. In addition, our products offer great flexibility and are thus suitable for small and large projects alike. We provide complete project realisation of any dimension to ensure the highest quality standards, enabling the longest possible operational lifetime of our products.

The World-Leading Solution
Made in Austria/EU

Five good reasons to choose our solar LED illumination systems

01

Reliable operation even during the cloudiest rainy season! The underlying concept is a constant “overproduction” of energy and a perfect balance of component dimensioning, ensuring a fully recharged battery every night. Thanks to our smart look-ahead system managing the battery status, our LEDs will operate reliably even in a “worst case” when energy production falls below demand.

02

Long operational life: solar panels 30+ years, LEDs 18+ years, batteries 12+ years. All products are of the highest quality. Low-budget lights require early replacement, leading to huge costs and high waste accumulation. Furthermore, our technology produces brilliant, continuous light with high-contrast characteristics at a fraction of the energy usually required, a prerequisite for the longest durability of all components.

03

Future-orientated systems! Our products are designed to “last” even longer than the operational life might promise, as only some components have to be replaced after a certain period of time (e.g. batteries after 12+ years, LEDs after 18+ years). The components will then be replaced with the next generation, lasting even longer than the previous ones. This ensures even lower total costs in the long term.

04

Anti-theft protection concepts! All valuable components are placed on top of a 7.7 m pole and can only be removed by the use of massive force, creating a lot of noise and attention, and in addition require expensive logistics, e.g. a lifting machine (HIAB). Furthermore, all components DO NOT operate with other devices, as they are electronically matched to each other. Corresponding “warning signs” on the device additionally explain this fact.

05

No operational costs, lowest maintenance costs! Our solar LEDs operate practically without any maintenance work except cleaning and checking of all components every 32 months. It is a fully off-grid system and therefore does not require energy from the already overloaded energy grid and is independent of rising energy prices (diesel and electricity).

On-Grid

We have established an excellent reputation in Nigeria over many decades by delivering solely the highest quality. Our track record therefore includes the implementation of large street light projects in many states, inter alia Lagos, Abuja, Kano, Port Harcourt, Jigawa and Kaduna, including our maintenance works, which are among the most efficient in the country: Austrian standards for Nigerian roads.

Grid-connected lighting systems for roads, places and exteriors

01

ASTAC has partnered with innovative lighting manufacturers from Austria/EU. Apart from the modern and highly appealing design of the products, our partners have earned a strong reputation for developing methods to ensure outstanding quality, resulting in an exceptionally long operational life of up to 22 years as well as brilliant and clear light quality with the lowest possible energy consumption. Today, most tempting “low-budget” illumination systems operate at approx. 180 to 240 W, offering poor quality, a very short operational life and nothing but the unwanted effects of uncontrolled brightness, literally burning budgets due to high energy consumption. No compromise in quality: ASTAC goes a different, modern way.

02

In contrast, our products create the perfect conditions, producing a continuous light with great separation characteristics and ensuring the highest safety for high-speed traffic and residents alike. They reduce energy and total project costs by 70 percent due to their long operational life and extremely low energy consumption, resulting in greater financial resources for additional projects: a boosting effect for the development of cities, states and society as a whole. ASTAC lighting is made from top-quality die-cast aluminium, developed to cope with physical impact and vibration. With a lifetime of 100,000 hours, an efficacy of up to 139 lm/W and control options, our lanterns guarantee years of reliable performance, making them an ideal choice for any project.

Solar Energy

On-Grid and Off-Grid Solutions

Why in Nigeria?

Unreliable and insufficient power supply, tight budgets and the high demand for modern infrastructure require new and creative solutions of the highest technological standard. Due to the geographical position of the country and thus the high solar energy yield (far greater than in Europe), Nigeria has truly been blessed with this inexhaustible and clean energy source with a convincing price/performance ratio. Solar energy cannot just reduce the load on the public electricity grid but can actually be the solution to Nigeria’s energy problems and pave the way for a better future. In addition, it is important to point out that solar energy represents a highly lucrative and secure investment opportunity, as it can generate annual revenue of approx. 10 to 15 percent of the investment when developed, installed and operated on the basis of our in-depth sustainability concepts. We would be glad to hear from you in case of interest.

Example: energy production of a 10 MW power plant:

Abuja:20,000 MWh(2,000 kWh/kWp)114,200 persons
Kano:22,500 MWh(2,250 kWh/kWp)128,500 persons
Lagos:17,200 MWh(1,720 kWh/kWp)98,300 persons

Special requirements for special projects

It is in the nature of solar energy that only smart, detailed concepts and innovative technology can create the basis for the use of solar power plants. In the case of a “standalone power plant”, it is therefore even more important to align the special characteristics of solar energy with the requirements of the consumer (private households, industry, etc.). This means that during a daily period of 24 hours of operation, varying requirements meet different energy production levels (e.g. energy demand before sunrise and after sunset). There is also the fact that power plants in many areas can only work as standalone systems that provide the voltage level and frequency, i.e. that provide the grid, as there is no energy supply available in many regions at present. This is the fundamental difference to grid-connected systems, where the energy grid is provided and the solar power plant operates as an addition to the main energy supply. Standalone systems require larger storage capacities than grid-connected systems. Such projects would not have been practically possible to implement just a few years ago due to disproportionate costs, but fortunately this has changed considerably and will change even more in the near future. We would again like to point out that our power plant concepts include solutions for all terrains, from compact or rocky ground to swamp and water areas.

The world-leading solution
Made in Austria/EU

National prosperity depends on an efficient and modern railway system.

Railway

We envision railways as strong and dependable partners for the people and the economy, freeing cities from “traffic meltdown” and connecting all regions with each other. A partner that offers fast and safe transportation of passengers and goods, which will consequently open up entirely new possibilities, boost the economy and therefore drastically improve people’s lives. Together with our experienced partners, we can realise a technological quantum leap, as we can implement the main aspects of a modern railway within the shortest time and simultaneously develop a corporation to the highest international standards. For well-known reasons, it is traditionally not the strength of governments to make companies profitable and to develop a modern and efficient operation. International governments consider the construction and implementation of infrastructure projects as their key areas. We would adopt these standards of the leading railway nations to focus on the key areas such as preservation, maintenance and modernisation of the railway network and train stations based on our concepts.

A highly efficient railway system, adjusted to best meet the requirements of passengers and industry, will generate high capacity utilisation and guarantee rapid development. Passengers will experience problem-free journeys, while industry will profit from accelerated processes.

Software

Our solutions for revenue and fare collection are highly integrated, based on specially developed software technologies, future-proof, and use existing off-the-shelf hardware for increased operational flexibility. They give railway operators and management access to a wealth of data, providing both immediate, day-to-day operational feedback and management overviews, as well as a solid long-term database for analysis and the strategic development of products and pricing strategies to optimise occupancy and yield. This solution is based on our technology for mobile business transaction replication and allows mobile units to have all required data at hand at any time. When network connectivity is available, the mobile applications synchronise with all data centres. This happens without the user noticing. Our technology enforces a coherent state of the data for all mobile units, consistent with headquarters. Our software system for railway ticket sales and validation is suitable for online and offline operation, on the train and on the web. Replication is near-instantaneous to prevent fraud and duplicate use of tickets. Each operation of each ticket is recorded with detailed information. Detailed information for accounting systems is produced but can be consolidated according to the needs of the accounting departments. Each ticket can be tracked before and after use; the amount of information visible to the ticket owner can be chosen.

Austria/EU

On-grid and off-grid powered traffic light and guiding system projects.

Smart traffic management

ASTAC was a pioneer in the field of traffic engineering in Nigeria, being the first company to implement traffic management systems based on Austrian/international standards, with large projects in Abuja, Lagos and Port Harcourt. We offer tailor-made turn-key solutions from planning to implementation and maintenance to ensure our highest standards and to meet the high expectations of our clients. Our traffic lights and LED traffic guiding systems as well as parking systems can be implemented as on-grid or, as our preferred option, as off-grid (solar) solutions, and will massively improve the traffic flow and reduce the accident rate.

Environmental

ASTAC is expanding its scope of core activities to rehabilitate and restore the severely and persistently polluted environment. This segment includes the surface and deep cleaning of small and large areas with contaminated soils by means of biological purification, the production of synthetic fuels based on new eco-friendly technologies as well as the recycling of agricultural waste. We have therefore partnered with highly innovative companies from Austria and Germany that specialise in these fields of environmental technology and are working on the realisation of these projects in several regions of Nigeria.

High-tech for a clean
environment

Environmental Rehabilitation and Restoration • Synthetic Fuels • Pyrolysis Plant

ERR

Our products and concepts are an outstanding match in the fight against pollution. They cover the essential fields of surface as well as deep cleaning and in fact completely remove toxic substances from the ground or water.

Unlike conventional products, which have only limited fields of application, ours remain highly effective in all areas without any unnecessary chemical residue deposits. So far, toxic pollution has been fought with even more aggressive chemicals, with everyone consciously accepting their dangerous side effects and long-term effects. Our products absorb, convert and in fact degrade pollutants by supporting the natural process and thus accelerate the restoration process, with the benefit of lower costs and higher performance.

Synthetic Fuel

The technology behind the production process of this German invention uses CO₂ emissions to produce carbon-reduced, zero-sulphur fuels (gasoline, diesel, kerosene, methanol). As its only feedstocks are CO₂, methane (natural gas, biogas), water and (renewable) electricity, it is perfectly suited to be produced in different regions worldwide and faces no feedstock limitations. A new study by the Research Center for Energy Economics (FfE) shows that the energy efficiency of PtL processes is on average about 40%. The energy efficiency of our synthetic fuel process is 72% and therefore 80% higher. In fact, syngas production in the single plasma Boudouard reactor is about 86%, with the rest of the losses coming from the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis.

Pyrolysis Plant

Our pyrolysis plant technology massively reduces agricultural waste, produces high-quality biochar and energy, and gives access to CO₂ certificate trading. The biochar produced has a high carbon content of at least 85 to 95 percent, enabling a broad spectrum of evolving products. The modular plant design can handle 36,000 tons of biomass per year at 8,000 hours of full utilisation or more. The main raw materials are waste wood as well as waste from sugar cane, coconut, elephant grass and other agricultural wastes and by-products. There is a constant energy surplus of 16,000 MWh during the production process of green carbon, which can be used in the form of electricity and fed into the grid. In addition, another 20,000 MWh of green heating/cooling energy are produced.
