Switching to solar lighting is one of the smartest decisions a commercial business can make. Whether you run a warehouse, a retail park, office buildings, or any other type of business, having the right outdoor lighting is essential. Not only does it help with security and safety, but it also affects your running costs and environmental impact.

At Procure Direct, we’ve worked with countless businesses to help them make the switch, and we’ve seen the difference it makes. From solar bollards and solar street lighting to dark sky approved lighting solutions to solar floodlights, there’s a solution for every business. Here’s why making the move to solar lighting is a no brainer.

 Let’s reduce those energy costs

Traditional lighting can be expensive to run, especially if you have a large site that needs to be illuminated overnight. Commercial solar lighting, on the other hand, runs on free energy from the sun. Once installed, your lights will work without drawing from the grid, cutting down your electricity bills in the process.

Businesses that switch to solar often see significant savings over time. In fact, we can provide you with stats on exactly how much you’d save each year by making the switch. If you’re looking for ways to cut costs without cutting corners, this is an easy win.

No more trenching or cabling costs

Installing traditional lighting often means digging up pathways, car parks, or green spaces to lay cables. This can be disruptive, expensive, and very time consuming. With solar lighting, there’s no need for trenching or underground wiring. Each unit operates independently, meaning installation is far simpler and less invasive.

For businesses that want to get up and running quickly without costly infrastructure work, solar lighting is the way to go.

Reliable and low maintenance

One of the biggest misconceptions about solar lighting is that it’s unreliable. The truth is modern solar technology has come a long way. The lights we supply are built to last, with high quality batteries that store enough power to keep them running even on cloudy days. Many also come with smart features like motion sensors to ensure energy isn’t wasted.

Once installed, solar lights require very little maintenance. There’s no need to replace bulbs frequently or worry about wiring issues. Just the occasional clean and battery check will keep them running smoothly for years.

Lighting that’s better for the environment

Sustainability is no longer just a buzzword, it’s something businesses are expected to take seriously. Switching to solar lighting is a simple but effective way to reduce your carbon footprint. Traditional lighting relies on electricity generated from fossil fuels, which contributes to carbon emissions. Solar lighting, however, runs on renewable energy, meaning you’re using a cleaner, greener source of power. If your business is working towards sustainability goals or looking for ways to improve its environmental credentials, solar lighting is a step in the right direction.

Let’s discuss security and safety

Well-lit spaces deter criminals and create a safer environment for employees, customers, and visitors. Solar lighting ensures that key areas such as car parks, walkways, and entrances remain well lit, even during power outages. Because solar lights aren’t dependent on the grid, they’ll continue to work even if there’s an electricity failure. This is particularly important for businesses that operate at night or in areas where security is a concern.
