Case Study: Stoborough school - commercial solar walkway lighting upgrade
Client Overview
Stoborough School, a forward-thinking educational institution, sought a reliable and sustainable solution to illuminate a key walkway and its adjacent car park. The existing solar lights on the walkway were outdated, lacked the power to illuminate the car park effectively, and struggled to perform during winter months. Faced with the high cost of installing mains-powered lighting—exceeding £1,500—the school needed an alternative solution that aligned with its budget and sustainability goals.
Project Scope
we were approached by Steve, the school’s maintenance lead, to explore solar-powered lighting options. The objective was to replace the outdated walkway lights with a robust and energy-efficient solution capable of illuminating the car park without the expense of a mains-powered installation.
The Solution
Steve, the school’s maintenance lead, reported exceptional performance:“When I arrive at 6am, the light has been on, and the sensor picks me up to illuminate the whole car park. We are so happy with the light you have provided, the school is looking to invest in more for other areas of the compound.”Financial BenefitsThe school avoided the high costs of a mains-powered installation.No additional running costs for electricity, ensuring long-term savings.Improved Safety and UsabilityThe car park and walkway are now well-lit, enhancing safety for staff, students, and visitors.
