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?

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.

Bespoke solutions for residential developments
No two housing schemes are the same. That’s why we offer more than a standard product list. For residential construction, our specialists help you configure the right mix of solar lighting and hybrid power for each development – from a single site to multi-phase, multi-plot programmes.
We work with your teams to design around:
- Development layout – from access roads and compounds to footpaths, car parks and shared public spaces.
- Build phases and temporary routes – enabling works, construction phases, show villages and handover.
- Required lighting levels, safety standards and planning conditions on site.
- Noise limits, light-spill constraints and the needs of neighbouring communities
- Power needs for welfare, sales areas and ancillary loads that suit each scheme.
Need something specific for a flagship development or framework? We’ll work with you to configure or adapt systems so they fit your sites, procurement modes and long-term sustainability goals.
Permanent Solar Street Lighting
Permanent solar street lights deliver reliable, off-grid lighting for roads, footpaths, shared spaces and car parks across residential developments. By removing trenching, cabling and DNO connections, they cut civils costs and speed up phased housebuilding where grid delays can hold up completion.
Supporting planning conditions, Section 106 obligations and DarkSky principles, the system minimises light spill while protecting neighbouring homes and wildlife – helping meet local authority requirements and maintain strong kerb appeal.
Operating via a unique 3 PIR-sensor mode, lights maintain low-level illumination and boost output only when movement is detected, ensuring safety without wasted energy. Profiles can be scheduled to reflect estate layouts and planning conditions.
Engineered for UK weather with autonomous solar charging, the result is reliable, fuel-free lighting from early build through to handover – delivering safer streets, lower infrastructure costs and modern, future-ready developments.

Solar Lighting Towers
Solar lighting towers provide silent, zero-fuel illumination for compounds, access roads, car parks and perimeter boundaries – ideal for sites close to existing homes and communities. Removing generator noise, fumes and refuelling risks, they deliver reliable year-round performance across residential developments. Rapid to deploy, reposition and scale, they support phased housebuilding programmes, covering site entrances, welfare areas, internal roads, working zones, storage areas, pedestrian routes and off-grid plots.

ProPower Solar Hybrid Generator
ProPower hybrid generators deliver stable off-grid electricity for welfare cabins, site offices, security systems and tools where mains power is unavailable or costly to extend. Cutting fuel use by up to 80%, they reduce spend, deliveries and environmental impact – supporting housebuilders’ cost and carbon targets. Low-noise operation suits developments near existing residents, while remote monitoring gives full visibility of usage and subcontractor consumption. Flexible configuration allows hybrid or fully renewable setups to match each build phase.
