The E.Leclerc center in Ploërmel opts for solar lighting for its parking lot with Fonroche Lighting

The E.Leclerc center in Ploërmel (72) recently chose to install solar lighting in its parking lot, calling on the expertise of Fonroche Lighting, world leader in solar street lighting solutions. This innovative, environmentally-friendly project has enabled the supermarket to reduce its carbon footprint, while providing optimum comfort and safety for its customers and staff.

Fonroche Lighting's Smartlight streetlights are maintenance-free for 10 years, thanks to their robust, reliable design. What's more, by opting for green, renewable energy such as solar power, the supermarket considerably reduces its carbon footprint and enhances its image with customers who are increasingly sensitive to eco-responsible approaches.

Solar lighting adapted to the needs of the parking lot

The 34 solar-powered streetlights installed in the parking lot of the E.Leclerc center in Ploërmel have been strategically positioned to effectively illuminate parking areas, traffic lanes, entrances and exits, as well as spaces reserved for people with reduced mobility (PRM). Thanks to the power and quality of LED lighting, customers and staff benefit from optimum comfort and safety, day and night.
