About Carmanah
Carmanah is a Canadian company known for solar-powered traffic and aviation lighting that runs where grid power isn't practical. Its self-contained solar systems are engineered to keep working through long northern nights, snow loading and the temperature swings of Canadian climate, with maintenance-free operation that suits sites a crew can only reach occasionally.
Tacel deploys Carmanah's solar traffic and aviation lighting across remote Canadian highways and northern communities. We carry the solar traffic lighting, aviation lighting and off-grid solutions in the lineup, and our team helps agencies size each system for its latitude and load so a beacon or crossing stays lit through winter. With stock and field service from four offices, even far-flung installs get Canadian support.
