ELA’s story begins in 1990 with founder Paul Connor – a qualified electrician with a knack for problem-solving and a deep respect for quality standards. Paul built his reputation across Australia designing and installing practical, reliable exterior lighting solutions that stood the test of time.

​

Years ahead of the curve, Paul saw the potential of solar-powered lighting long before it became mainstream. He began integrating solar into his projects, driven by a belief in its ability to lower costs, reduce environmental impact, and offer smarter solutions for public spaces.

​

As solar technology evolved, so did the business. Today, ELA installs durable, efficient solar bollards, street lights, and systems tailored for Australia’s unique environment – because in many cases, solar isn’t just a sustainable choice, it’s the best one.

​

From a one-man operation, ELA has grown into a proud family-run business. Paul now works alongside his sons, Tom and Sam – both qualified electricians – while Therese, his wife, ensures everything runs smoothly behind the scenes. Together, they’ve built a team that understands solar lighting inside and out.

At ELA, we don’t just supply lighting – we help shape spaces where people gather, move, and thrive. We're driven by your success, and we’re here to deliver the right lighting solution every time.
