In the Iraqi town of Fallujah, mostly known for insurgent activity, things have started to quiet down, allowing for an increased focus on rebuilding the infrastructure.

The US Army Corps of Engineers is overseeing efforts to equip the town’s east-west thoroughfare with solar powered street light. With 1,050 lighting points, this will be the biggest solar powered installation worldwide to date, according to the manufacturer, SEPCO.

The system is being installed at the rate of 20 poles per day, and besides Fallujah, 4 other Iraqi towns and 17 villages in Afghanistan have been equipped with solar electric lighting systems.

Someone should pitch this idea to them: Make a module that prevents the lights from turning off when they are passed by a SLIder, and sell the world’s first SLIder-proof street light system.
