Indeed converting the lights is not inexpensive and indeed the lights require batteries to operate at night and will need to be replace every 3 to 5 years. Think, however, about the savings of not generating the power currently used to operate lights.
If the information I have is accurate, the current annual cost to operate the street lights is approximately $12m. So you may be incorrect on the payback period being too long.
This is not about my company selling lights, just because we make a suggestion does not equate to us being awarded any contract to carry out the conversions. If there were a decision to persue this we would assume it would be via a bidding process.
Additionally, there are ways to finance these types of projects.
Finally, there is no duty on deep cycle renewable energy batteries.
