Solar Lighting for Car Parks

Light your car park without a single trench

Astrid Solar street lighting is fully self-contained. No grid connection, no civil works, deployable in days rather than weeks. Each column carries its own PV panel, lithium battery and LED head, sized for at least three nights of autonomy in UK winter conditions.

Why solar for car parks

Grid-tied lighting is expensive to install and slow to commission. Solar removes both bottlenecks.

Zero ongoing energy cost — once installed, lighting is free at the point of use.
No trenching, no DNO application — install on existing or new foundations only.
PIR + dimming as standard — full output when motion is detected, low-power dwell otherwise.
Lithium battery storage — sized for British winters with multi-day autonomy.
Retrofit ready — replace existing failing columns one-for-one without re-wiring the site.

Real project — APCOA Grand Arcade, Wigan

APCOA's Grand Arcade car park in Wigan switched to Morgan Hope LED lighting with compliant emergency cover. Energy and maintenance costs dropped sharply — a 70% reduction in energy consumption, projected savings of more than £11,900 per year. The retrofit approach maintained existing infrastructure while delivering the required lumen levels and emergency lighting certification.
