Your challenges - Our solutions
Grid connections and civils work slow down site set-up and add cost.
Off-grid solar street lights, bollards and column lights remove the need for trenching, cabling and DNO connections. That can cut installation costs by 50% or more and gets safe lighting in place faster.
Tight residential areas and noise limits make diesel generators hard to justify.
Silent solar lighting towers and low-noise hybrid power systems provide safe, compliant lighting and power without generator noise or fumes, making them ideal for suburban and built-up sites.
Fuel, refuelling logistics and spill risks are driving up project costs and complexity.
Solar-first systems remove routine refuelling and most fuel use. You reduce deliveries, avoid spill risks and gain more predictable energy costs over the life of the project.
You need to hit contractor carbon targets and planning conditions on each development.
Off-grid solar lighting and hybrid power reduce carbon and support Net Zero and Section 106 commitments, while Smart Telematics provides automated CO₂ and performance reporting for your clients.
Residential sites change constantly as phases progress and routes move.
A mix of tower lights, ProTemp column lights, compact units and hybrid generators can be hired, redeployed and scaled with each build phase.
You need to keep workers and buyers safe while presenting a modern, attractive development.
Well-designed solar lighting improves visibility across compounds, car parks, paths and show homes, creating safer routes and a cleaner, quieter environment that enhances the buyer experience.
Building better communities with smarter solar solutions
Tight programmes, changing site layouts, carbon targets and neighbourhood concerns all put pressure on how you light and power residential developments, especially before grid connections are in place. You need safe, compliant, low-impact sites that feel like real communities from day one, without the cost and delays of trenching, cabling and refuelling.
Prolectric brings solar lighting and power onto site from first set-up through to completed communities. Off-grid solar street lights and bollards remove the need for civils and DNO connections, speeding up installation whilst cutting costs by 50% or more. If you want no noise, fumes or refuelling, our silent solar tower lights and low-noise hybrid generators provide reliable power and lighting for compounds, welfare and security.
Available to hire or purchase, for short- or long-term needs, our systems scale with each build phase to help you cut costs and fuel use and stay safe, sustainable and compliant.
Why Prolectric for housebuilders?
Designed for planning, compliance and adoption
Our solar lighting solutions support planning requirements, including Dark Sky principles and local authority expectations, helping you gain approval and deliver compliant developments.
Remove grid dependency and avoid delays
Off-grid solar lighting eliminates the need for DNO connections, trenching and cabling – helping you avoid delays, reduce infrastructure costs and keep projects on schedule.
Reduce installation costs and site disruption
Without the need for electrical infrastructure, installation is faster, cleaner and less disruptive – ideal for live developments and phased delivery.
Deliver safer, more attractive communities
Well-designed lighting improves visibility, safety and accessibility across streets, pathways and shared spaces – enhancing the quality and usability of developments.
Proven performance in UK conditions
Engineered for year-round operation, our systems are designed to perform reliably through UK winters, ensuring consistent lighting from installation through to handover.
Flexible rollout across phased developments
Deploy lighting as your development progresses, from early infrastructure through to completion, with solutions that scale alongside your build programme.

What our clients have to say
At Natta, our ethos is built on combining modern thinking with traditional values and this project with Prolectric exemplifies that perfectly. Their solar ST bollards provided the sustainable, low-impact lighting solution we needed. We were highly impressed by their proactive support when supply was tight – stepping in to install the final units at no extra cost, ensuring the pathway was completed safely and on schedule.
Jo Whelan
Communication Director
We’ve worked with Prolectric on several projects and they have consistently delivered innovative, sustainable solutions across the Defence estate. At Duke of Gloucester Barracks, their solar lighting provided a reliable, off-grid alternative to ageing mains-powered units, overcoming complex underground service issues without disruption.
Shaun Hobbs
Project Manager
Many months of operation, has resulted in further projects being considered by the council. Our solar lighting trial has been a huge success, feedback from both the householders and our own maintenance team has been really positive.

Contract Officer, North Ayrshire Council
Bespoke solutions for residential developments
No two developments are the same. From large housing schemes to mixed-use communities, each site has unique planning, layout and environmental requirements. Our in-house engineers work with you to design lighting solutions tailored to your development.
We design around:
- Site layout and road design: streets, pathways, parking areas and shared spaces
- Planning and compliance requirements: including lighting levels, Dark Sky considerations and local authority expectations
- Phasing and build programmes: aligning installation with development timelines
- Community and environmental impact: reducing light spill and supporting biodiversity
- Aesthetic integration: ensuring lighting complements the look and feel of the development
Need something specific? We’ll help you design a solution that meets planning requirements and enhances your scheme.
Permanent Solar Street Lighting
Permanent solar street lighting provides reliable, off-grid illumination for roads, footpaths, shared spaces and car parks across residential developments. By removing trenching, cabling and DNO connections, it reduces civils costs and helps avoid delays where grid access can impact programme timelines. Designed to support planning conditions, Section 106 obligations and Dark Sky principles, the system minimises light spill while protecting neighbouring homes and wildlife – helping meet local authority requirements while maintaining strong kerb appeal.
Intelligent 3 PIR-sensor operation ensures lighting is delivered only when needed, maintaining safety while reducing unnecessary energy use. Profiles can be tailored to suit estate layouts and planning requirements. Engineered for UK weather with autonomous solar charging, the system delivers reliable, fuel-free lighting from early build through to adoption – supporting both construction phases and long-term infrastructure.
Permanent Lighting
Solar Lighting Towers
Solar lighting towers provide silent, zero-fuel illumination for compounds, access roads, car parks and perimeter boundaries – ideal for residential sites operating alongside existing communities. Removing generator noise, fumes and refuelling requirements, they reduce disruption to neighbours while maintaining safe, well-lit working environments. Rapid to deploy and reposition, they support phased housebuilding programmes by providing flexible lighting across entrances, welfare areas, internal roads, working zones and off-grid plots as layouts evolve.

ProPower Solar Hybrid Generator
ProPower delivers stable off-grid electricity for welfare cabins, site offices, security systems and tools where mains power is unavailable or costly to extend – particularly during early build phases. Solar-first operation significantly reduces fuel consumption while maintaining reliable performance, helping keep developments on programme and reducing operational overheads. Low-noise operation suits residential environments, while remote monitoring provides full visibility of usage, performance and energy efficiency across site operations.
ProPower Solar Hybrid Generator
ProCharge Solar Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)
