Solar Lighting for Commercial Properties

Every hour a commercial property sits unlit after dark is an hour property managers need to feel uneasy about security.

Cover storefronts, plazas, and campuses with no trenching, no utility bills, and fast install.

The problem

Wired lighting bills you twice: once to install, then every month after.

For property managers and commercial owners, an unlit storefront, plaza, or walkway is not just an appearance problem, it is a security and liability one. Wired lighting means an electrician, a permitting timeline, and an ongoing utility bill, all before the property is actually safer at night.

Why solar wins here

Three reasons solar wins on a commercial site.

01

Fast install, no electrician

A full property can be lit in a single day, without permitting delay.

02

Lower nighttime crime

Well-lit storefronts, plazas, and walkways are linked to lower nighttime crime and improved safety for tenants and visitors.

03

Runs independent of the grid

A utility outage does not leave the property dark.

Scales to large sites

Fewer, higher-output poles cover a campus.

For corporate campuses and multi-building commercial sites, fewer high-output BFL fixtures cover more ground than a denser grid of smaller lights, and the same no-trenching, no-permitting advantages hold at scale. This is where the former standalone "Large Areas" application folds in for commercial buyers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can solar lighting cover a full commercial property, not just a small area?

Yes. WLB and SCL2 cover everything from storefront and plaza lighting to full parking areas, and BFL steps in for large campuses needing higher output per pole.

What happens to the lights during a power outage?

Nothing, they keep running. FLT fixtures store their own charge on-site and operate independent of the grid.

Does solar lighting need ongoing maintenance?

FLT fixtures are self-contained with no wiring to service, though periodic inspection is good practice for any outdoor fixture. Confirm maintenance intervals and warranty terms against the current spec sheet.
