Poles and installation are sold separately. Coverage figures are planning estimates (rated lumens × 0.5 ÷ foot-candles); a photometric layout settles a final design.
One fixture. No power run.
Each light carries its own solar panel, lithium battery and charge controller, so there is nothing to trench, no meter to add and no monthly bill. The head switches on at dusk and runs on its own schedule until dawn.
Most models step down to a lower output later in the night to protect the battery, so tell us how late the lot needs full light and we will size it for that.
What the light levels should be
The reference most designers and city codes work from is IES RP-20, summarized by the U.S. Department of Energy.
0.2 fcMinimum on a basic lot, with a 1 fc average used for preliminary design
0.5 fcMinimum where security matters, with a 2.5 fc average for design
20:1Maximum-to-minimum uniformity on a basic lot, so the gaps between poles matter

Questions we get
How many lumens does a parking lot light need?
Work back from the light level. At a 1 foot-candle average, each fixture covers about half its rated lumens in square feet, so a 10,000-lumen light covers roughly 5,000 square feet. For enhanced-security levels at 2.5 fc, the same light covers about 2,000 square feet.
How far apart should the poles be?
Take the square root of the area one fixture covers. For these fixtures at a 1 fc average that runs from about 32 ft for the 20W up to about 122 ft for the 200W, which works out to roughly three times the mounting height.
Do solar parking lot lights stay on all night?
Yes, but most dim to save battery. The 20W to 100W models run at full output for 5 hours and then 20% until dawn. The 120W steps down on a schedule you can change in its app. If the lot must hold its light level all night, we size the layout for the dimmed output.
What happens on cloudy days?
Each fixture stores more than one night of power, and the larger batteries carry several. The 120W is rated for 7 nights at 12 hours on its factory schedule. In cloudy climates or where a lot must stay lit through a storm week, we point you to the bigger battery.
Do you supply the poles?
Yes. We stock steel and aluminum poles from 10 to 30 ft in anchor-base and direct-burial styles, plus slip fitters and mounting hardware. The 200W fixture is rated for 39 to 46 ft, so it suits taller existing poles. Call for pole pricing.
