Sustainable Lighting & Power for Local Authorities
We are a trusted partner for sustainable lighting solutions in the public sector and have worked extensively across NHS, MOD and local government properties since launching our solar street lights in 2011.
Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Our solar powered lighting solutions provide clean renewable energy, reducing carbon emissions and minimising the environmental impact of large sites and developments.
By partnering with us, public sector organisations demonstrate their ongoing commitment to environmental and sustainable procurement, protecting the environment they operate in, whether it be an educational institution, facilities management project or local parish council.
The applications of our solar lighting products across the public sector varies greatly due to the specific nature and needs of the industries within it.
Replacement lights
We work closely with Facilities Management providers to the public sector, to replace mains powered lights on the grid, which have come to the end of their usable life across large-scale estates within the NHS and MOD. This removes the grid connection of the existing lights and reduces the ongoing cost of operation for large-scale sites.
Car Parks
Our lights are used in parking areas to provide enhanced visibility and safety for drivers and pedestrians. Our solar car park lighting systems offer flexible installation options and customisable settings to meet the specific needs of public sector organisations, ensuring reliable performance and cost-effective operation.
Community Parks
Our lights are commonly installed by local councils in and around parks and recreational areas. From pathway lighting to area lighting for playgrounds, our solutions provide bright and efficient illumination without the need for on-grid electricity, enabling public sector organisations to create inviting and accessible outdoor spaces in their neighbourhoods.
Why our lights are the best option for the public sector
Innovation is at the core of our solar lighting technology. As pioneers in the field, we introduced the first permanent solar-only street lighting column in the UK and have since continued to lead the way in innovation and solar improvement. Our lights are designed to operate seamlessly year round, even in the harshest winter conditions, ensuring consistent and dependable illumination when it’s needed most.
Our solar street lights are equipped with advanced features that set them apart from the competition. Automatic dusk-to-dawn operation ensures that the lit area has safe ambient lighting, with the brightness adjusting to 30% to conserve energy. When motion is detected, the lights switch to 100% brightness, providing maximum light levels for enhanced visibility and safety. After 30 seconds of no movement, the lights return to 30% brightness, optimising battery usage and maximising efficiency.
Unlike other solar street light manufacturers in the UK, we offer a 3-PIR sensor solution for greater detection of movement. This innovative feature enhances motion detection capabilities, ensuring that our lights respond swiftly and accurately to activity in the surrounding area, whether a car driving by or pedestrian walking past.
Furthermore, our lights are highly customisable to meet the specific needs of your site. We offer different modes of operation and virtually all settings are customisable, allowing you to tailor the lighting to your exact requirements. Whether you need lighting for a busy urban street or a remote rural pathway, our lights can be configured to provide the perfect solution.

What our clients
have to say
The ProPower unit managed itself – I could predict when it would need fuel, so it took very little of my time to manage. We were typically refuelling only every 3 months, versus weekly on a diesel generator. Through summer it didn’t need any at all. Once we sorted one minor issue (someone pushed the emergency stop button), there were no noise complaints. It’s a step in the right direction – we’re not releasing carbon when we don’t need to.
Project Manager
Working with Prolectric has transformed the A417 ‘Missing Link’ project. Their team understood our challenges and provided innovative, sustainable solutions exceeding our expectations. The transition was seamless, delivering significant cost savings and reducing our carbon footprint without compromising performance.
Remote monitoring has improved efficiency, while reduced noise and emissions has created a better working environment. The fuel savings – over 75% in some cases – demonstrate the real-world impact of these technologies.
In just a few months, our partnership has saved over £250,000, with projected annual savings exceeding £638,000. By adopting Prolectric’s Solar Hybrid Generators and Solar Lighting solutions, we are on track to cut over 800,000 kg of CO2e per year, reinforcing our commitment to sustainability and smarter, cleaner construction practices.
Prolectric’s expertise and support have made this transition effortless. Their solutions have set a new standard for powering major infrastructure projects.
Project Manager
Following our extensive engagement with the market to find a solution that was fit for purpose, a partnership developed with Prolectric which has enabled us to create a unique product and solution that matched our requirements and exceeded expectation. The Prolectric team were willing to invest significant time and resource to the project, to understand our specific needs. Additional confidence was then secured during the trial period. We trialled others, but Prolectric gave us the innovation, as well as the assurance and the commitment we needed.
Plant Development Manager
Our experience with Prolectric has been nothing short of exceptional. Their ProLight Solar Lighting Towers have proven to be extremely reliable, even during the challenging winter months when daylight hours are limited. This reliability is crucial for our operations, ensuring continuous surveillance and security throughout the year. Prolectric’s commitment to quality and innovation shines through in their products. The ProLight not only provide efficient lighting but also serve as a sturdy base for our CCTV systems. This integration has significantly enhanced our security infrastructure, providing SmartWatch and their clients with peace of mind knowing that their assets are protected around the clock. We wholeheartedly recommend Prolectric as a reliable and trusted supplier.
Sales Director
We started working with Prolectric around 5 years ago – we were aware that they were leaders in providing Solar Lighting Columns and wanted to understand whether the technology could be used to power off-grid remote CCTV solutions. We were impressed with the build quality and the safety aspects of the products – electrically and especially with no manual handling of heavy batteries which so many similar solutions required. We have continued to work with Prolectric to develop our solutions; we have fed back ideas to make the units even better and these have been taken onboard and incorporated into the latest versions. Overall, a great innovative company to work with.
