Corso Solar Engine

The Corso Solar Engine is a fully integrated off grid power system engineered to deliver reliable, continuous energy to Tigerlight industrial luminaires in remote or infrastructure-limited environments. Its core strength is a complete, self-contained solar power assembly that captures, stores, and delivers clean energy without the need for trenching, electrical circuits or site power upgrades. This makes the Corso Solar Engine an ideal solution for mining roads, compounds, pathways, perimeter lighting and public space projects where dependable solar autonomy is essential.

Each Corso unit combines a high-efficiency monocrystalline solar panel, a long life LiFePO₄ battery with an intelligent battery management system and a programmable MPPT smart controller in a durable and low maintenance pole top assembly. Engineered for long term energy stability, the Corso Solar Engine maximises energy capture through smart charging, protects battery health and ensures consistent operation in harsh Australian conditions. The result is a robust and cost-efficient solar power system that enables reliable off-grid lighting across industrial, mining and municipal applications.

Engineered To Power A Range Of Tigerlight Luminaires

Corso Solar Engines are fully compatible with a wide array of Tigerlight’s modular outdoor area lighting platforms, enabling complete configuration to suit site-specific requirements. All mounting options, optical distributions and colour temperatures are available to deliver precise, application-driven performance.

To maximise off-grid efficiency, luminaire output is adjustable from 10 W to 60 W, allowing each system to be optimised for local solar conditions, installation environments, and operating profiles. Multiple Corso solar engines can be linked in parallel to reach even higher outputs.

One Solar Engine. Unlimited Lighting Control.

Corso Solar Engines can power single or multiple luminaires from a single solar power source and are individually programmed to suit each specific application. Output profiles are precisely configured to balance light performance, battery autonomy and long-term system reliability.

Optional microwave motion sensing maximises energy efficiency while enhancing site security, activating light only when required.

For indoor applications, a 24-hour power availability option ensures continuous illumination, including applications where continuous light is required such as shipping containers, tunnels and green safety shower lights.

Design Your Corso Solar System In 3 Simple Steps

Corso solar lighting systems are engineered to deliver up to 72 hours of autonomy, providing dependable performance in off-grid and low-sunlight environments.

To protect long-term battery life, Tigerlight systems are designed to avoid frequent deep discharges. This is achieved by precisely balancing solar panel capacity, battery size, light output, and operating hours for each installation.

Step 1: Know Your Location

Solar performance varies across Australia. Northern regions receive higher average solar exposure than southern states, directly influencing system output and sizing.

Tigerlight designs every Corso system using Australian solar zone data to ensure reliable year-round performance.

Step 2: Set the Light Behavior

Corso Solar Engines and compatible Tigerlight light heads are fully programmable to suit how the site is used.

Operating hours, output levels, and sensor response are configured to match traffic patterns, safety needs, and security requirements, while maintaining battery autonomy.
