Commercial solar lighting from INVO Solar LED, supplied and installed by Procure Direct, provides a reliable solution for outdoor environments where mains power is impractical, expensive, or unavailable.
The INVO range includes solar powered street lights, solar bollards, and solar powered flood lights, designed for car parks, public spaces, pathways, and industrial sites. These systems operate independently from the grid, making them ideal for off-grid lighting and projects requiring fast, low-disruption installation.
By combining high-efficiency LED technology with advanced solar components, INVO delivers outdoor solar lighting that performs consistently in UK conditions.
Commercial Solar Lighting Applications
INVO Solar LED systems are used across a wide range of environments where dependable lighting is required without the cost or disruption of traditional infrastructure.
Common applications include:
- Solar lighting for car parks and commercial premises
- Solar street lighting for roads and public highways
- Solar pathway lighting for parks, campuses, and walkways
- Solar lighting for public spaces including town centres and recreational areas
- Industrial estates and warehouses
- Construction sites and temporary installations
- Remote or off-grid locations
These environments benefit from commercial solar street lights and bollards where trenching, cabling, or grid access would increase project cost and complexity.
How Commercial Solar Lighting Works
INVO Solar LED systems generate and store energy during the day, then use it to power lighting at night.
Each system includes:
- A solar PV panel to capture daylight
- A battery system to store energy
- An LED luminaire for illumination
- A controller to manage charging and output
Modern systems are designed to operate efficiently even in the UK’s lower light conditions, ensuring reliable solar street lighting and solar security lighting throughout the year.
Built for Commercial Performance
INVO Solar LED systems are engineered for consistent output in demanding outdoor environments.
Key components include:
- High-efficiency LED chips for effective illumination
- Advanced solar PV panels designed for low-light performance
- Long-life lithium battery systems for overnight operation
- Intelligent controllers to optimise energy use
- Durable construction suitable for UK weather conditions
These features ensure stable performance across seasons, including shorter winter days.
Installation Advantages
INVO Solar LED systems are self-contained, removing the need for traditional electrical infrastructure.
- No trenching or underground cabling
- Faster installation times
- Reduced labour and infrastructure costs
- Suitable for remote, off-grid, or restricted locations
This makes outdoor solar lighting a practical option for projects where speed, cost, and minimal disruption are priorities.
When Solar Lighting Is Better Than Mains Lighting
Solar lighting is not always a replacement for mains-powered systems, but it is often the better choice in specific scenarios.
Solar lighting is ideal when:
- Grid connection is expensive or unavailable
- Installation time needs to be minimised
- Projects are in remote or temporary locations
- Reducing energy costs is a priority
Mains lighting may still be more suitable where constant high-output lighting is required or where existing infrastructure is already in place.
What to Consider When Choosing Solar Lighting
Selecting the right commercial solar lighting system is key to performance, especially in the UK.
Important factors include:
- Brightness (lumens): Ensures adequate light levels for the application
- Battery capacity: Determines how long lights operate overnight
- Autonomy: Number of days the system can run without sunlight
- Solar panel efficiency: Affects charging performance in low-light conditions
- Mounting height and spacing: Impacts light coverage and uniformity
- UK weather performance: Systems must operate reliably in winter and cloudy conditions
Choosing systems designed for commercial solar street lighting ensures consistent performance compared to lower-spec alternatives.
Benefits of Solar Lighting Solutions

Frequently Asked Questions
Do solar street lights work in the UK?
Yes. Modern solar street lighting systems are designed to operate in UK conditions using efficient panels and battery storage.
Are solar lights suitable for commercial use?
Yes. Commercial solar lighting is widely used across car parks, public spaces, and industrial sites.
Can solar lighting be used for security?
Yes. Solar security lighting, including flood lights, provides reliable illumination for commercial and industrial applications.
How long do solar lights stay on?
Most systems are designed to operate from dusk until dawn, depending on battery capacity and stored energy.
Do solar lights need direct sunlight?
No. Solar panels generate energy from daylight, so they still work in cloudy conditions.
