We installed our first ProPower in June 2022, and the backup generator didn’t run once in the first month. Customers are seeing savings of up to £6.5k per month per unit on fuel alone. We can map their load profile and turn things on and off remotely so it’s all running optimally. It’s very efficient compared to traditional diesel generators. Also, there’s a lot less servicing required because the generator runs less frequently.

The great thing about Prolectric’ s ProLights is that we haven’t had to touch them since they were delivered. If we wanted to change the settings we simply called Prolectric and adjusted the settings using their portal. It made sense for us to use our site resources elsewhere and let Prolectric manage the lights for us and ensure we get optimal usage from them.

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.

Using the lights has saved hugely on our diesel costs and just as important have been the savings in manpower. The ProLights operate automatically, so we have saved the costs of paying two workers to return to a diesel light and switch it on and off. With no diesel, there was no danger of an environmental impact through spills and no need to move temporary lights away from sensitive areas such as watercourses, before refuelling.
