StreetLeaf Plants its 10,000th Light in Advance of Hurricane Season
TAMPA, FLORIDA, June 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — StreetLeaf , the leading provider of solar-powered streetlight services in the United States, has installed its 10 thousandth solar-powered streetlight, just in time for hurricane season, which begins June 1st. The 10,000th light is part of the Shine On Florida initiative, and indeed marks a significant step in the company's mission to provide cost-effective, hurricane resilient infrastructure options to communities across Florida. Shine on Florida is a call to action for Florida's utility companies, local governments, home builders, municipalities, HOAs and residents to rethink current construction choices, and make Florida a model for climate-resiliency. 'Future proofing communities has been a focus of Streetleaf since our inception but our sense of urgency increased exponentially last year when three back-to-back hurricanes hit our local area,' said Liam Ryan, CEO of StreetLeaf. 'Shine On Florida represents expanding access to lighting solutions that enhance safety, improve quality of life, and reduce environmental impact for this hurricane season, as well as for future generations.' Streetleaf has been partnering with large real estate development companies, who have been an integral part of expanding the use of hurricane resilient streetlights across Florida. Those companies include Metro Development Group, D.R. Horton , and Forestar Group Inc. . Streetleaf is also working with more than 50 HOAs to bring these lights to their communities, including the innovative Babcock Ranch, America's first solar-powered town. Tampa Electric Company has played a critical role in helping integrate solar solutions into infrastructure discussions around the Tampa area, as StreetLeaf works to bridge utility-grade performance with forward-thinking innovation. In Manatee County, StreetLeaf installations are now helping neighborhoods stay illuminated during power outages, offering peace of mind in storm-prone seasons. Additionally, homebuilders like Lennar, Kotler, Homes by WestBay, and MI Homes have become early adopters of solar streetlighting, recognizing its value in offering safer, more sustainable communities to their homebuyers. The newly installed lighting systems feature StreetLeaf's solar panel technology, which captures energy even during cloudy conditions, and has 5-day battery backup. Each unit includes high-efficiency LED bulbs that provide superior illumination while consuming minimal power. The lights are equipped with motion sensors and smart controls that adjust brightness based on time of day and pedestrian activity, further optimizing energy usage. Streetleaf lights are DarkSky approved, ensuring minimal light pollution while maximizing visibility and safety for residents. This aligns with StreetLeaf's commitment to creating environmentally responsible lighting solutions that respect natural ecosystems. By choosing Streetleaf's solar lighting solutions, communities benefit from both cost savings and meaningful environmental impact. Each installation saves counties and HOAs tens of thousands of dollars annually in electricity costs, while eliminating the need for trenching and wiring can reduce upfront infrastructure expenses by hundreds of thousands of dollars. At the same time, Streetleaf helps neighborhoods reduce carbon emissions—just fifty solar streetlights can offset the electricity use of two average households each year.

Wexford backed into corner after disappointing defeat to Galway
Hopes of getting back on track after that defeat in Dublin were dashed by a dominant home side, and it leaves Keith Rossiter's charges with the prospect of having to win their remaining matches against Offaly and Kilkenny respectively. And even that in itself mightn't be enough to secure a qualifying spot for the All-Ireland series, because Wexford are at a distinct disadvantage on the head-to-head front after losing to two of the other contenders already. In the short term, a win for Dublin over Kilkenny next weekend would be in our best interests, but only if we do likewise when Offaly visit Chadwicks Wexford Park on Saturday at 5 p.m. And while the midlanders have struggled and are still seeking a first victory, Wexford's form has regressed to such an extent that we simply won't know what to expect from the team until the action gets under way. The loss of defender Shane Reck in the warm-up was a significant blow in Salthill, although on the plus side Liam Ryan made it through the 70-plus minutes while Conor McDonald was introduced for his return off the bench. However, the latter pair have next to no hurling done for so long as a result of their injuries, so we cannot expect them to be leading the fight at this point in time. Instead we should be looking to their seasoned colleagues who have plenty of competitive action under their belts in 2025, but real leaders were hard to find in this deflating defeat. It wasn't looking good at half-time, with the visitors trailing by 0-15 to 0-11 despite having first use of the wind. Openings for goals were in very short supply, apart from a Conor Hearne shot in the 16th minute that produced a routine near-post save from Darach Fahy. And while Wexford did get joy from running hard at the Galway backs in the second-half, yielding two goals in the process, it wasn't done with enough regularity to lay a platform for victory. The stronger teams tend to step it up and improve incrementally as the championship progresses, but the opposite appears to be happening in Wexford's case. This was comfortably their poorest display of the Leinster campaign so far, with too many passengers on board to ask real questions of Galway. Cathal Mannion was given the freedom of the park and picked off half a dozen of his superb 17-point haul from play. And on an afternoon when the defensive unit struggled so badly, it was very strange that personnel changes weren't made in that sector of the field until the final quarter. Eoin Ryan stepped in when Shane Reck was forced to cry off, while Séamus Casey was preferred to Cian Byrne in attack but was one of several Wexford players who struggled to leave any imprint on the game. Mannion showed he was in the mood to make a big impact by opening the scoring in the second minute, and Brian Concannon added another before a Jack O'Connor wide was followed by a solo point from Lee Chin. That move had started with an encouraging catch by Liam Ryan, and it was the first of four Wexford scores on the trot. Chin levelled from a free after a charging offence by Galway, with the poor short puck-out directed towards Jack O'Connor who returned it over the bar with interest. Chin sold a lovely dummy before registering his second and final point from play in the seventh minute, but Galway were quickly back on level terms thanks to Gavin Lee and the prolific Mannion (0-4 each). A foul on Rory O'Connor led to Chin restoring the lead, but then it was Galway's turn to score four in a row courtesy of Mannion (free), Brian Concannon, Colm Molloy and John Fleming. Conor Hearne's half-chance for a goal arrived in between the latter two points, along with a Chin wide, but the early stages of the second quarter saw Wexford make some inroads. Kevin Foley shot a good point and although wides number three and four followed from Chin and Damien Reck, a converted Chin free was followed by Hearne's leveller (0-8 each). Galway continued to look the more composed side on the whole though, with points for Mannion (free and play) coming on either side of a neat finish directly off the hurl from Gavin Lee. Wexford's last three points of the half arrived from Chin frees earned by Damien Reck, Kevin Foley and the scorer respectively, but three Cathal Mannion placed balls plus a contribution from wing-back Cianán Fahy left Galway comfortably and deservedly clear by 0-15 to 0-11. The fact that just five points had arrived from play with the wind behind them highlighted Wexford's struggles, but the first bit of hope arrived after an early exchange of points between Tom Monaghan and Rory O'Connor. The latter gathered possession in his own half, put his head down and used power matched with pace to shake off a series of attempted tackles on his way to goal. His pass to the right was also well timed and accurate, leaving Cathal Dunbar to apply the finish and reduce the gap to the minimum (0-16 to 1-12). The absence of any panic from Galway was clear in their response, as a Cathal Mannion treble, with the first from play, left them firmly in the ascendancy. Wexford were unfortunate in the 50th minute when Darren Morrissey blocked a Rory O'Connor shot that was aimed for the top left corner, and the '65 that followed was sent wide by Chin. They were still trailing by 0-22 to 1-14 when another beacon of light appeared in the 58th minute. Chin, O'Connor and Richie Lawlor combined to tee up the recently-introduced Cian Byrne for a well-taken goal, and twelve-plus minutes remained for Wexford to pull off a victory that hadn't looked to be on the cards from an early stage. What followed won't be remembered by the travelling support with any degree of fondness, as Galway grew in stature and outscored their rivals by a commanding 1-7 to 0-2 to coast home. Those Wexford scores came from a Chin '65 and free, with his first effort arriving after Pádraic Mannion had got his hurl to a shot on goal from a tight angle on the left by Conor Hearne. Galway were able to create space at will, a point best exemplified by the monster points scored from distance off either flank by Cathal Mannion and new arrival Seán Linnane in quick succession. They put the icing on the cake in the 70th minute when a heavy first touch by a Wexford defender was punished to the full. Kevin Cooney soloed goalwards and forced Mark Fanning into a reaction save, but the rebound went straight down the middle into the path of Conor Cooney and he duly rattled the net. After Tom Monaghan added his second point, it was entirely fitting that Cathal Mannion should close the scoring with his sixth from play. There was nobody near him at the time, but that was unfortunately a regular occurrence on an afternoon that highlighted just how far Wexford are off the pace at the moment.
