    The lights are DarkSky compliant, fully off-grid, and powered by 100% renewable energy, which stay on during power outages too. The lights are not only built for long-term reliability, with 24/7 monitoring and routine maintenance included, but are also engineered to withstand winds up to 160 mph. 

    Fort Worth is connected to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) grid which has faced resiliency challenges in recent years, including Winter Storm Uri in 2021 and several heat waves creating peak demand threats to the system.

    “At Lennar, we’re always looking for smart, sustainable solutions that add long-term value to our communities,” said Gregory Urech, President of Land, at Lennar, in a statement. “Streetleaf’s off-grid lighting not only enhances safety and resilience in Eagles Crossing but also aligns with our commitment to building for the future.”

    Lennar is developing Eagles Crossing as a single-family-home community with prices ranging in the high $200,000 to mid $300,000 range. The Miami-based homebuilder generated more than $8 billion in revenue for its second fiscal quarter and added more than 22,000 in new home orders during those three months ending May 31.

    The Eagles Crossing project is the first in Texas for Streetleaf. The company recently announced it was hired to illuminate six public parks at Babcock Ranch in southwest Florida.

    The array includes a total of 110 Streetleaf solar-powered streetlights running along The PKWY of Babcock Ranch, including Bluebird (pictured), Hillcrest, Lagoon, Explorers, Bark and Palmetto parks. The partnership between Babcock Ranch and Streetleaf will involve four phases. The first phase was started and completed in the fall of 2024, and the other three are planned by the end of 2025.

    Streetleaf calculates that its off-grid solar streetlights have helped avoid more than 2 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions.
