Industry knowledge

Solar street lights are independent lighting systems that utilize solar energy as their power source. They convert light energy into electrical energy via solar panels, store it in batteries, and then use it to power LED lights. They do not require grid power, are flexible to install, and are suitable for urban and rural roads, scenic areas, and public places. Solar street lights are characterized by energy efficiency, environmental friendliness, long lifespan, high luminous efficiency, and low maintenance costs. They can also be equipped with light sensors, timers, and intelligent control systems for automatic switching and energy management.

Solar street lights are independent lighting systems that use solar energy as their power source, converting light energy into electrical energy via solar panels, storing it in batteries, and driving LED light sources. Key advantages include:

  • Energy Self-Sufficiency and Energy Saving

Reliance on solar energy eliminates dependence on the power grid, reducing electricity costs.

  • Environmentally Friendly and Low Carbon

Uses renewable energy, reducing carbon dioxide emissions and environmental pollution.

  • Flexible Installation

No complex cable laying is required, making them suitable for remote areas and temporary lighting locations.

  • Intelligent Management

Equipped with light sensing, timing, and remote control functions for automatic switching and energy saving.

  • Strong Environmental Adaptability

Designed to be waterproof, dustproof, and windproof, with high and low-temperature resistance, adapting to various outdoor environments.


Energy System and Optical Design

The core of a solar street light is light energy collection and efficient illumination. Its energy system includes solar panels, batteries, and LED light sources, while the optical design determines the light distribution and illumination effect.

1. Solar Panels

  • High-efficiency monocrystalline or polycrystalline silicon solar panels with conversion efficiency of 18%-22%.
  • Optimized installation angle to big solar energy absorption throughout the year.
  • Weatherproof and dustproof design ensures long-term power generation efficiency.

2. LED Light Source and Optical Design

  • Uses high-efficiency LED beads with high luminous efficiency and long lifespan.
  • Optical design optimizes beam angle and uniformity to avoid light pollution.
  • Outdoor road lights often use narrow or wide beam designs to balance uniform road illumination and anti-glare requirements.

3. Energy Conversion and Storage Efficiency

  • Optimizes solar panel output through MPPT (big Power Point Tracking) technology.
  • High-efficiency LED drivers ensure big conversion of electrical energy into usable light.

Energy Storage System and Battery Management

The energy storage system is crucial for the stable operation of solar streetlights, mainly including battery type, battery capacity, and management system:

1. Battery Type

  • Ppilot-acid batteries: Low cost, but shorter lifespan and heavy weight.
  • Lithium batteries: High energy density, long lifespan, and easy maintenance, making them the mainstream choice.

2. Battery Capacity Design

  • Battery capacity needs to be designed based on the light source power, expected lighting time, and the number of consecutive cloudy days.
  • Generally, solar streetlights can operate continuously for 2-5 days under insufficient sunlight.

3. Battery Management System (BMS)

  • Monitors battery voltage, current, and temperature to prevent overcharging, over-discharging, and short circuits.
  • Improves battery lifespan and system stability.

Intelligent Control Technology

Modern solar streetlights are becoming increasingly intelligent, improving energy efficiency and ease of use:

  • Light-sensing control

Automatically turns on at night and off during the day, requiring no manual operation.

  • Timer control

Switching times can be set according to usage needs, reducing energy waste.

  • Remote monitoring and management

Monitors the status, brightness, and energy consumption of the lights through a wireless network, enabling centralized management.

  • Intelligent dimming mode

Reduces brightness when there is less pedestrian traffic at night, saving energy and extending battery life.

  • Fault alarm and maintenance reminders

When the battery voltage is low or the LED is damaged, the system automatically alarms, prompting maintenance personnel to handle the problem promptly.

Environmental Adaptability and Weather Resistance

Solar streetlights must cope with complex outdoor environments, including high and low temperatures, rain, snow, wind, sand, and corrosion:

  • Protection level

Usually adopts IP65 and above design for waterproof and dustproof protection.

  • Temperature resistance design

LED drivers, batteries, and circuit boards need to withstand high and low temperatures to ensure normal operation in winter and summer.

  • Wind resistance design

The lamp post, bracket, and lamp body structure are reinforced to ensure stability in harsh weather conditions.

  • Corrosion resistance and UV protection

The casing uses corrosion-resistant materials, and the solar panel is covered with anti-UV materials to extend its service life.


Installation and Maintenance

Solar streetlights offer flexible installation, but there are also technical specifications:

Site selection and layout

  • Avoid shading to ensure sufficient sunlight.
  • Lamp post height and spacing are designed according to road width and illumination standards.

Bracket and luminaire installation

  • The luminaire is securely fixed, and the cable connectors are waterproofed.
  • Optimized bracket angle and reasonable solar panel orientation.

Daily Maintenance

  • Lampshade cleaning, battery inspection, and circuit testing.
  • Replace batteries promptly when their lifespan expires.

Intelligent Management and Maintenance

  • Obtain luminaire operation data through a remote monitoring system, reducing manual inspections.

Application Cases Of Solar Street Lamps

1. Urban Road Lighting

  • Solar Street Lamps are used on city streets to reduce electricity costs.
  • Intelligent dimming combined with light sensing achieves efficient nighttime lighting and energy-saving management.

2. Parks and Landscape Lighting

  • Solar streetlights are used on roads in scenic areas and parks, offering flexible installation without the need for cable wiring.
  • LED light sources combined with beam design achieve safe and aesthetically pleasing lighting effects.

3. Rural and Remote Areas

  • Solar streetlights are used in areas without electricity to ensure nighttime safety.
  • Easy installation and low maintenance costs solve lighting problems in remote areas.

4. Highways and Rural Roads

  • Outdoor Road Lights have windproof, dustproof, and rainproof performance, adapting to highway and rural road environments.
  • Optimized beam design improves nighttime driving safety.
