Design Consultation
Our lighting designers specialize in producing detailed
light layouts and can suggest luminaries that are
optimized to meet your precise requirements. We can
make recommendations on carbon management
strategies and the impact an off-grid lighting project has
on Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design
(LEED) points.
Install, Maintain, and Upgrade
To ensure you have a lasting and cost effective
experience with PoleCo products, installation is available
by our engineers or certified contractors. In addition, we
offer a PoleCo Training and Certification Program to
guarantee our products are installed and maintained
correctly. We make sure that your project is on time and
on budget from start to finish.

Financing and Leasing Programs
Even with the added benefits of off-grid lighting, up-front
capital costs can sometimes be challenging. Our financial
partners offer innovative financing and leasing solutions
to meet your budgetary requirements. Lease-to-own
programs reduce capital expenditure, and energy savings
can be applied to monthly payments.
Engineering Support
Bringing a customer-centered approach to every job, we
provide you with the support and tools required to
complete your off-grid lighting projects. Our engineers
offer educational sessions for your technical personnel on
lighting standards, field testing, as well as state-of –the-
art solar, wind, LED, and battery technology. This allows
your staff to independently evaluate the performance of
different solar lighting systems.

9. Lowest Total Cost of Ownership
UNIT COST does not indicate TOTAL COST
In new installations, our off-grid lighting solutions
provide a lower installed cost than grid-tied alternatives
by eliminating the expense of
trenching, wiring, conduit, and cabling.
By reducing the required number of units and
maximizing battery life, while maintaining lighting
standards or requirements, we reduce costs throughout
the project lifecycle for
equipment, installation, maintenance, and labour.
