our HISTORY
We Are The Pioneers Of Patented Solar
Powered Traffic Safety Equipment
In 1990, Byron Zerphy,
founder and president of Solar Technology Inc., had an
idea. He saw that advanced-warning arrow boards used in
highway construction zones used fuel-consuming internal
combustion engines to operate. In addition to requiring
constant refueling, internal combustion engines need
frequent maintenance and are noisy, dirty, and pollute
the environment.
He knew
that he could innovate a better product. He
could develop equipment powered by a
technologically-advanced solar energy system
that would require no fuel, no maintenance,
and would be quiet and clean.
So he went
to work in the garage of his rented house in
Allentown, PA and with the help and support
of his wife, Diane, Solar Technology, Inc.
was born. Drawing on his electrical
engineering and computer science background,
Byron designed and built the world’s first
arrow board that derived 100% of its energy
requirements from the sun.
Nearly two decades later, solar
power is the industry standard for running
portable traffic control equipment.
Over the years,
SolarTech has continued to lead the industry
in technology advances. From the
first full-matrix LED signs in 1998 to free
communications to all message and arrow
boards in 2017. We are committed to the
mission of innovative product design and
advanced manufacturing techniques that
continually increase the value added to the
products we produce and the services we
provide. Byron wouldn’t have it any other
way.
