We work with a number of key transport and logistics customers who have adopted our products due to their quick installation, zero carbon emissions, zero noise and overall ease of use. Our permanent lighting installations and our temporary lighting and power solutions are widely used across the industry.
Airports, ports, logistics and storage hubs have various challenges, including environmental concerns, rising fuel costs, and the need for sustainable solutions. As the first-to-market solar expert we offer innovative solutions that help overcome these challenges and drive positive change in the transport and logistics sectors.
The need for reliable and cost-effective lighting solutions for high traffic areas, depots, warehouses, and loading areas is another challenge to overcome. Traditional grid-powered lighting systems can be costly to install and maintain, especially in remote or off-grid locations.
Our permanent and temporary solar powered lighting solutions offer a cost-effective and sustainable alternative. By utilising solar energy, our lighting systems provide reliable light without the need for grid connectivity, reducing the initial hassle and cost of installations and reducing the ongoing costs.
An additional benefit of our solar street lights is that they are protected against power cuts. As the UK electrical grid faces increasing demand from EV charging and a reduction in the use of gas, minimising the reliance on on-grid energy is a positive move that many large commercial estates are taking.
With large sites such as those within the transport and logistics sectors, the cost of lighting these spaces for 12-16 hours a day can be extremely expensive. Lighting is fundamentally necessary for safety of those traveling around the site and commonly required for operatives to work throughout the night.
Transitioning to solar powered lighting provides significant cost reductions in both cost of powering each light as well as fixing cabling issues when they arise. Moreover, replacing whole units at the end of their lifespan can be expensive.
Our solar lighting solutions remove the need to worry about all of these costs and frustrations when things go wrong, and each of the components of our lights are easily replaceable, removing the need for replacing whole units, saving you money and reducing the embodied carbon cost.
One of the primary challenges facing the transport and logistics sectors is the environmental impact of their operations. Traditional diesel powered equipment contributes to air pollution and carbon emissions, exacerbating climate change and impacting on the health of those around the facilities.
Most large businesses in the transport and logistics sectors have set out a Net-Zero plan and will need to transition away from diesel generators and diesel temporary lighting towers.
Our experienced team will work with your site plans and create a lighting design that is both compliant with British standards and works in line with your site requirements.
We install our columns, solar panels and lights providing you with a single point of contact responsible for your external lighting installation. Our team are highly experienced in installing solar street lights and have all passed background checks required for working on security sensitive sites such as MOD and Prisons.
We can visit your site to provide free consultation and recommendation on how best to go about your project lighting. Whether it’s a new installation or replacement of existing on-grid lighting, our experienced account managers will work with you to find the right solution for your site.
Whether a permanent or temporary solution your dedicated account manager will support you with the setup and configuration of your units to your precise specification.
Our permanent lights are like no other. We were the first to launch permanent solar-only street lights in the UK and have continued to innovate and improve our products to ensure they work all year round, providing consistent and dependable light, even in the depths of winter.
Our solar street lights automatically switch on at dusk ensuring the lit area has safe ambient lighting. When the PIR sensor is triggered, the light mode switches ensuring that when needed, the area has maximum light levels.
We are the first UK solar street light manufacturer to offer a 3-PIR sensor solution, rather than a 1-PIR sensor. This means that our lights recognise a wider range of motion on your site.
We can offer different modes of operation dependent on your site requirements and virtually all of the settings are customisable for your needs.
Sustainability is at the very heart of our business. Unlike other manufacturers who are only just starting to, we’ve been reducing customers carbon emissions since our inception, that’s why so many businesses trust us to reduce their carbon emissions, save them money and remove the hassle of traditional lighting, whether temporary or permanent.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
