What Soluxio Lighting does

Soluxio Lighting is the commercial brand of FlexSol Solutions B.V., a Dutch private limited company founded in 2013 and headquartered in Delft, Netherlands, that designs, manufactures, and sells off-grid solar-powered lighting and connectivity poles. The company has approximately 14 employees supporting deployments of 1000+ projects across 25+ countries spanning Western Europe, North America, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, the Caribbean, and Africa. Its core technology is a vertically integrated cylindrical monocrystalline solar module with >24% cell efficiency housed inside an aluminum column alongside lithium NMC battery storage, proprietary control electronics with multi-channel MPPT, GNSS tracking, and 4G/LTE connectivity with over-the-air update capability.

The product portfolio centers on the Soluxio Solar Light Post as the flagship autonomous off-grid streetlight, with modular add-ons including Soluxio Connect (solar WiFi/4G hotspots), solar-powered security cameras with integrated PoE+, the Wayfinder illuminated road sign, NatureGuard wildlife-friendly lighting, the Passive Safety Column (the world's first crash-friendly solar streetlight with 70/100 NE3 rating), radar speed signs, and the grid-connected Soluxio Grid variant. Sub-brands NxT Solar Outdoor Lighting and NxT Road Safety extend the platform into plug-and-play bollards and chevron warning lights. An OEM Platform enables third parties to integrate IoT sensors, antennas, and custom applications. The remote management platform provides monitoring, predictive defect detection, and API access for customer integration.

Soluxio operates a direct enterprise field sales motion targeting municipal governments, road authorities, smart city integrators, hospitality operators, and private developers. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, with hardware configured per deployment. Revenue is generated through one-time hardware sales rather than disclosed recurring service contracts, although a 5-year remote monitoring service plan is bundled with deployments. The company maintains dedicated sales coverage in the USA and the DACH region and partners with fixture manufacturers (Schréder, Spring City, Valmont), network providers (Aruba/HPE, Vodafone), and design consultancies (Buro Hollema) to extend reach.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Clear Blue Technologies: Canadian provider of Smart Off-Grid power systems with integrated lighting, IoT connectivity, and remote management. Comparable to Soluxio's connected off-grid pole platform, particularly for smart-city and remote-site deployments.

Direct peers

• Sunna Design: French designer and manufacturer of solar-powered street lighting with integrated connected services (Sunnap'). Competes head-to-head with Soluxio in European municipal smart-lighting tenders and shares the all-in-one pole architecture with IoT management.
• Greenshine New Energy: US-based manufacturer specializing in solar-powered street lights, parking lot lights, and pathway lights for municipal and commercial customers. Directly comparable to Soluxio's core off-grid solar streetlight and parking-lot offerings with overlapping project-based go-to-market.
• Fonroche Lighting: French solar street lighting specialist serving municipalities worldwide with autonomous Smart Lighting units and remote management. Closely comparable to Soluxio's off-grid municipal proposition and project-based deployment model.
• SOKOYO Solar Lighting: Chinese manufacturer of integrated solar street lights, all-in-one solar lights, and solar garden lights exported globally. Comparable to Soluxio on the core solar streetlight product category, particularly in cost-sensitive municipal bids.
• SEPCO (Solar Electric Power Company): US-based commercial solar LED lighting manufacturer providing solar street, parking lot, and pathway lights for municipal and commercial projects. Directly overlaps Soluxio's core off-grid solar pole product line and municipal sales motion.

Broad incumbents

• Schréder: Belgian-owned global outdoor lighting specialist with deep municipal relationships across Europe. Already partners with Soluxio (ISLA luminaire on Vianen project) and competes with its own connected streetlight portfolio, including Shuffle and smart-city columns.
• Signify (Philips Lighting): Global lighting incumbent (Philips, Interact) with a broad portfolio that increasingly includes solar and connected street lighting. Competes with Soluxio in municipal tenders but offers a much wider product portfolio and deeper channel reach.
• Valmont Industries: Global infrastructure manufacturer of poles, lighting, and coatings with a strong smart-city / connected streetlight portfolio. Collaborated with Soluxio on Rotterdam but also sells competing solar-ready pole solutions globally.

Regional players

• Atmo Lighting / Fonroche Smart Energy Group subsidiaries: French-connected solar street lighting specialist focused primarily on the French and francophone African markets. Comparable offering to Soluxio but with regional focus that limits direct overlap outside its core geography.
