Solar Lighting & Power for Public Sector
Permanent, Sustainable, Ready to Deploy Anywhere
Trusted by the public sector to deliver safe, sustainable infrastructure
From local authorities to the Ministry of Defence, we support the UK’s public sector with smart solar permanent & temporary lighting and power. Whether you’re maintaining parks and playgrounds, managing car parks, securing NHS and MOD estates or delivering infrastructure projects, our solar and solar-hybrid technology helps you reduce emissions, protect budgets and meet sustainability targets – without compromising performance.

What our clients have to say
QinetiQ has a target of becoming Net-Zero with ambitious near-term GHG reduction targets. To assist, Prolectric assessed our lighting needs, developed a detailed plan and installed over 129 solar street lights and bollards at our HQ. The lights are bright and reliable, improving health and safety. The lighting is high quality and robust in harsh weather. All lighting so far has required minimal maintenance and been well received by our company and tenants.
Simon Homer
Project Manager, QinetiQ
We frequently need to maintain screens, set up temporary defences, apply temporary structures, or operate gates and sluices in an emergency during darkness. The beauty of the technology is that it is activated only as-needed by PIR sensors and without the fumes or noise from a diesel generator. The ProTemp light is easy to position using a fork lift. We can also transfer it to a permanent post.
Neil Lote
Delivery Lead, Environment Agency
Highways England’s environmental strategy seeks to help protect, manage and enhance the quality of the surrounding environment.
The use of Prolectric solar powered lights on the project is an excellent innovative approach by the A14 Integrated delivery team. The use of renewable power sources on the A14 scheme helps us to work in greater harmony with the environment.
