As utility costs continue to rise and sustainability mandates become more stringent, businesses across the U.S. are increasingly turning to solar lighting as a smart, long-term solution. At Nothing But LEDs (NBL), we've made it easier than ever to integrate commercial-grade solar lighting into your buildings, landscapes, and parking areas.

Let’s break down why solar lighting is a powerful investment and which high performance options are right for your property.

 

The Rising Demand for Commercial Solar Lighting in the US.

Over the past 3 years commercial solar lighting has exploded in popularity not just for energy savings but also for its low maintenance, fast ROI, and reliability in tough environments. From schools and hospitals to government buildings;  property managers are choosing solar for:

• Outdoor walkways
  
• Entry points and walls
  
• Flagpoles and signage
  
• Parking lot security
  
• Garden and landscape design
  
• Temporary outdoor work lighting
  
  

The reason? 

Solar lighting now combines high performance LED technology with flexible solar charging systems allowing you to light up your facility without wiring, trenching, or skyrocketing power bills.

Why Businesses Are Making the Switch

Zero Electricity Costs: Solar fixtures draw energy directly from the sun, reducing grid dependency.

Quick Installation: No trenching, wiring, or permits needed.

Tax & Green Building Incentives: Federal and local rebates for using renewable energy lighting.

Low Maintenance Design: No bulbs to change or transformers to fail.

Reliable Performance: Our solar lights use high lumen LEDs with weather rated construction to withstand outdoor abuse.
