Ten new solar streetlights on the FV-20 spur in Puerto del Rosario
1. Key points
The town hall installs ten self-powered solar LED streetlights on the FV-20 spur.
The kit stores daytime energy and lights the road at night with no grid connection.
The works continue the approach already used on the Los Camelleros street extension and support the Starlight Reserve.
2. The news in detail
The capital municipality has finished fitting ten photovoltaic luminaires on the FV-20 spur, a stretch used daily by residents and drivers. The aim is better night-time visibility and fewer dark spots on that road link.
Each unit pairs a panel, battery and LED head. Daylight charges the system that then powers the lights, so conventional electrical cabling is not required. The design also curbs light pollution, a critical factor in protecting the island’s starry sky.
The works follow a recent upgrade on the Los Camelleros street extension. Together they mark a municipal push to bring renewable lighting to more neighbourhoods and roads while keeping a reliable public service.
3. Voices and statements
“We improve lighting and safety with a solar solution that respects the surroundings,” says mayor David de Vera.
Councillor David de León adds that the new fixtures give a direct benefit to people using that spur.
4. Context and background
Municipal note dated Puerto del Rosario, 23 September 2026. The works sit on the FV-20 spur within Fuerteventura’s capital municipality.
