Rethink the infrastructure

The expensive part isn't always the light. It's getting power to it.

Adding conventional parking lot or area lighting can mean trenching through asphalt and landscaping, conduit, wiring, electrical service, utility coordination and restoration.

Solar Lot Solutions designs independent, off-grid lighting systems that generate and store power at each pole. For the right property, that can eliminate a major portion of the infrastructure required by wired lighting.

Traditional wired lighting can require:

  • Trenching and pavement cuts
  • Underground conduit and copper
  • Electrical panels and service upgrades
  • Utility coordination and permitting
  • Concrete/asphalt restoration
  • Ongoing electrical consumption
Solar changes the equation.
Solar vs. wired

Before you trench, compare the entire project.

Solar is not automatically the right answer for every property. The right comparison includes the cost and disruption required to deliver electricity to the light, not just the fixture and pole.

Traditional Wired Lighting

  • Electrical source required
  • Trenching and underground conduit
  • Wiring and electrical labor
  • Potential pavement and landscape restoration
  • Ongoing electricity usage

Commercial Solar Lighting

  • Independent off-grid power
  • No trench between poles
  • Minimal site disruption
  • Programmable operating profiles
  • No utility electricity consumed by the system
Designed for the site

Commercial solar lighting is an engineered system, not a fixture in a box.

System sizing should account for local solar conditions, the darkest part of the year, required light levels, operating schedule and the physical property itself.

Photometrics

Design the light before the poles.

Layouts can be developed around pole placement, distribution, foot-candle targets, uniformity and potential dark zones.

Programmable

Light output matched to operations.

Commercial systems can use programmed operating profiles, reducing output during low-traffic periods and increasing it when the property needs it.

Off-Grid

Each system powers itself.

Solar generation, battery storage, controls and LED lighting operate at the pole without requiring underground power between fixtures.

Project economics

What could trenching alone cost?

When a project needs new electrical infrastructure, the distance between power and the proposed lights matters. Use this quick planning tool to see why solar deserves a comparison.

This is not a project quote. It simply isolates one major conventional-lighting cost before conduit, copper, panels, electrical labor, pavement restoration or fixtures are added.

Proven application

Commercial solar lighting in the field.

Solar lighting is already used for parking lots, campuses, airports, commercial properties and public spaces. Your project starts with the site, not a preselected product.

Parking Lots

Wide-area illumination without trenching between poles.

Roadways & Campuses

Independent lighting where grid expansion is costly or disruptive.

Commercial Properties

Site-specific layouts designed around the property and operating needs.

Our process

From dark property to engineered solution.

01

Site Assessment

We review the property, existing infrastructure, lighting goals and potential pole locations.

02

Lighting Design

We determine fixture placement, light distribution and system requirements for the site.

03

Proposal

You receive a project-specific recommendation and installed scope rather than an off-the-shelf kit.

04

Installation

Solar Lot Solutions coordinates the equipment and installation through project completion.
