LED lighting manufacturer Acrospire has secured a five-year agreement with Green Frog Systems to support the solar lighting firm’s European expansion
The renewed agreement comes following the installation of more than 6,000 Defender solar lanterns across the UK, supporting public realm schemes including pathways, cycle routes and residential developments.
Under the renewed agreement, Acrospire will retain exclusive UK distribution rights while leading a phased rollout into targeted European territories over the next three years.
The expansion reflects growing demand for off-grid infrastructure across public realm and transport projects, where grid constraints, cost pressures and sustainability targets are reshaping specification decisions.
Since first bringing the brand to the UK, Acrospire has combined Green Frog’s technology with its own application knowledge, project support and technical guidance. Rather than positioning solar as a universal solution, the company has championed an evidence-based approach through its Solar Honesty campaign.
Green Frog Systems, founded in Australia in 2011, delivers solar lighting solutions used by governments and infrastructure operators in more than 15 countries.
Acrospire and Green Frog expansion ‘natural next step’
Tim Barker, Managing Director at Acrospire, says, “Over the past six years we’ve worked hard to build confidence in solar lighting by being transparent about where it works, and where it doesn’t. That pragmatic approach has allowed us to deploy thousands of Defender solar systems across the UK with proven performance.
“Renewing our agreement with Green Frog Systems and expanding into Europe is a natural next step. We’re not introducing a concept; we’re scaling a model that has already delivered measurable results.”
With the renewed agreement now in place, Acrospire will work with new distribution partners and infrastructure organisations across Europe to introduce the technology in markets where off-grid lighting is becoming an increasingly attractive solution for public realm and infrastructure projects.
