We work with some of Australia's most well known organisations
We are proud to serve any organisation that wishes to utilise commercial solar lighting, to save on upfront trenching and cabling, and ongoing power usage created from fossil fuels.
We have the experience to ensure your project succeeds
Many commercial solar lighting projects require a bit more upfront planning, to ensure allowances are made for shading – all year around. Orca Solar Lighting will put in the extra effort so this important stage is done correctly. We also provide professional lighting design services to ensure the light achieves the required levels and conform to Australian lighting standards if necessary.

Applications of Orca Solar Lighting’s Commercial Outdoor Solar Lighting
Commercial solar street lights
Often a generic term for any overhead solar light, the lighting industry tends to use the term ‘street light’ for smaller AS/NZS 1158 3.1 2020 P (Pedestrian) lighting applications on low-speed roads, typically 50km/hr or less. These are commonly small suburban streets or laneways. Commercial solar street lighting is engineered to provide consistent all-night lighting, with battery autonomy designed to support reliable operation and compliance with AS/NZS 4509.1 2009 stand-alone power system requirements.
Solar path lights
Commercial grade solar lighting for shared pathways and bike-ways. To comply with Australian and New Zealand pathway lighting standards, it is mandatory that the lights do not dim below the minimum lighting levels at any stage in the night. Therefore if adaptive lighting is used, (boosting and dimming with sensors), the light is only allowed to boost HIGHER than the minimum lux levels, it cannot dim lower.
Solar road lights
The Australian and New Zealand lighting industry tends to categorise ‘Road Lights’ as lighting for larger feeder roads and main roads. Therefore this is often covered by V (vehicular) lighting standard AS/NZS 1158 1.1 2022 V category. This is a mission critical lighting application requiring constant all night light at the minimum necessary lighting levels, with strict parameters on glare.
Solar area/car park lighting
Car park lighting is often mission-critical and is designed for pedestrians rather than vehicles, as vehicles provide their own light source. To comply with AS/NZS 1158.3.1:2020, lighting must not fall below the minimum required lux levels at any time while the car park is in use.
Adaptive lighting can increase output above these levels, but not reduce below them.
Temporary solar lighting
Compliant street, area/car park, road and pathway lighting on a relocatable concrete block. If relocating to another project, the solar lighting system is easily dismantled for ease of transport to the new site. The concrete block has certified forklift pick up points to enable ease of movement of the block around the construction site. Engineered and certified for the relevant wind regions.
