How SBL2 Series solar bollard lights support pathways, shared outdoor spaces and resident safety within a Charlotte residential community.

Located in Charlotte’s University City research corridor, Axis at the Park is a Greystar residential community of town homes and apartments with access to University Research Park. The development combines residential buildings with landscaped pathways and shared lifestyle spaces, creating a need for dependable lighting that supports movement and visibility after dark.

SBL2 Series solar bollard lights were selected for footpaths, walkways and outdoor areas throughout the development. Their self-contained design supports straightforward installation and reliable dusk-to-dawn community lighting without relying on a conventional mains-powered pathway lighting network.

The project challenge 

The lighting needed to support pedestrian movement through a residential environment that includes landscaped areas, level changes and shared outdoor spaces. The site also sits alongside established wooded areas, so the lighting approach needed to provide useful illumination without visually dominating the surrounding landscape.

A carefully planned layout placed lighting along the routes residents use between buildings, recreation areas and communal spaces, with the focus on consistent pathway illumination and a clean fit within the development. 

Why the SBL2 Series was selected 

The SBL2 Series is a commercial-grade solar bollard light designed and manufactured in Australia for demanding outdoor applications. At Axis at the Park, the self-contained system allowed lighting to be positioned around pathways and lifestyle spaces without the trenching and cabling associated with a conventional mains-powered lighting network.

Supporting safe and liveable community spaces 

The completed installation provides low-level lighting along footpaths, walkways and shared outdoor areas across the development. The lighting helps improve visibility after dark while supporting the broader usability and liveability of the residential community.

The project also demonstrates how correctly specified solar lighting can be integrated into residential developments where landscape, amenity and pedestrian access all need to work together. 

The project is also an example of commercial solar lighting being integrated across a modern residential development, connecting pathways, building entries and shared lifestyle areas with a consistent lighting approach. It also adds to Solar Bollard Lighting’s growing portfolio of projects across the Americas.
