turn signals, seat belts, brake & tail lights, windshields etc
Street legal is a legal definition which denotes an electric cart that has a VIN number and must be registered as a motor vehicle. A simple definition is here:

Laws & Regulations for Low Speed Vehicles & Golf Carts in Florida

So the short answer already posted is that a cart does not need to be street legal to use the multi modal paths in TV.

I have no idea what governing body (if any) says that a NON street legal golf cart must have lights to drive around in TV. I honestly have never looked into it as common sense says you would be to drive at night without them.

PS. The solar work sounds fun
