A photoresistor (photocell) is a sensor that is attached to the solar street light. The photoresistor stops the light from coming on during the daytime. The battery continues to charge in the daytime.

As soon as the photoresistor senses little or no light, it lets the battery give the solar street lamp power.

The best solar led street light manufacturers can produce 130lumens/watt on average. It means 20W and 100W solar LED street lights can produce 2600 and 13000 lumens, respectively.

The increased amount of LED chips on the light increases the lumen efficiency of solar powered street lights. Therefore, some solar street light suppliers can produce 160, 180, and even 210lm/w such as VST, one of the top solar street light manufacturers.

The whole range of solar street lights is available in 8 – 160 watts. Are you thinking, what wattage shall I choose?

The answer is simple you can choose the wattage of a solar LED street light according to the pole length.

For example, a 4 – 5-meters high pole is suitable for a 20W solar LED street light. Similarly, an 8-meter-high pole is appropriate for 60W~100W solar powered street lights.

Tell your project details to your solar street light supplier and they will give you suggestions.

Solar energy is the rapidly growing electricity source around the world. Facts say that around 100GW of the world’s capacity was added by the solar power system in 2018.

There must be some good reasons people adopt solar street lights to illuminate their highways and streets.

• It is easy to install.
• You don’t need a grid station to connect your solar street light to it.
• The absence of electricity wires reduces the chance of accidents.
• It requires less maintenance.
• Solar power street lights are eco-friendly.
• You can easily transport your solar street lamp. (it has separate parts)
• It is cost-effective as you don’t need electrical wiring and connections.
• No electricity bills as the battery get its charging from a natural source.
• Each solar LED street light works independently. Unlike regular street lights, any power failure causes blackout on the entire highway.
• You can adjust the light’s direction to the area where it is needed the most.
• It comes in a wide range of fixture styles.

Despite all the good things, there are always some drawbacks attached to technology. Like:

• The first-time purchasing cost of a solar LED street light is higher than a regular street light.
• It would help if you kept your PV (photovoltaic) panel horizontal to get maximum sunlight. It increases the chances of dust and snow accumulation on the PV panel. It can adversely affect energy production.
• Replacement of batteries is essential as soon as they stop working properly.
• Cloudy weather might compromise the efficiency of the solar street light.
• Once the battery runs out of charging, you have to wait for the sunshine for battery recharging.
• For larger applications of your solar street lamps, you need to have big batteries.

The solar powered street lights comprise of four main parts:

Solar panels

It is an important component of a solar street lamp. It takes the sunlight and utilizes it for battery recharge by converting it to electricity.

Light fixtures

We prefer to use LED light in solar street lamps. The reason behind this is the low energy consumption of solar LED street lights. It consumes min. 80% less energy than a regular bulb in the street light.

Pole

The pole needs to be strong for mounting your panel, light fixture, and (sometimes) the battery. Some solar street light manufacturers make poles with integrated panels and electronics.

Battery

The battery is an important part because it stores the energy during the day and utilizes it at night. You can use a gel cell deep cycle battery, lead-acid battery, or lithium-ion battery in your solar street lamp.

solar street lights manufacturers in China use aluminium for making the solar powered street light fixture. The body is zinc plated to avoid rust and corrosion.

The lens cover which is used on solar street lamps is resistant to harsh environmental conditions. It is scratch-proof, explosion-proof, and can sustain strong weather conditions. The glass has a 25-year lifespan.

Yes, you can rotate the solar street light to get the maximum efficiency out of it.

The solar panels are also rotatable. Adjust them horizontally in bad weather conditions to get the maximum light.

The rotating feature helps to adjust your solar panels according to the light direction so that you can get the maximum light for battery charging.

But not all solar power street lights work like this, so make sure to ask your solar street light suppliers about this before purchasing.

The lifespan of a solar street lamp ranges from 2 – 8 years. Its’ lifespan depends on its LED light, solar panel, and battery.

A solar panel and LED light enjoy a long lifespan; however, the battery’s average lifespan is 2 – 4 years.

You can change the battery to keep your solar powered street light working.

LiFePO4 battery is the preferred battery for solar power street light. So request this from your solar street light factories.

Yes, you can attach motion sensors with your solar street lamps.

Your solar street lamp will dim or turn off when traffic or pedestrians are not around. It saves the energy of the battery.

Solar street lights are easy-to-install. You can do it yourself (DIY), but it is better to consult some qualified and trained technician for the installation.

Follow the steps:

• Safety first. Protect yourself and the surrounding where you want to erect your solar LED street light.
• Make sure you have all the tools and components with you to avoid delays in work.
• For the street light light, you need a foundation. Use a metal cage for this purpose. Dig in, put the metal cage in it, and secure it with cement.
• Most solar street light factories now embed the battery into the body of lamp. But if not and the battery is individual, put the batteries in the hole. It will save the battery from robbery and fluctuation of temperatures.
• Connect the wires between solar panel and LED light fixture while the pole is on the ground.
• Test the working of the solar panel and lights before erecting the pole.
• Erect the pole, bolt the nuts into the steel cage, and adjust solar panels’ direction to get maximum sunlight.
• It is the testing time now. Check all the options thoroughly for 48 hours.

Yes, you can use compact lithium-ion batteries with solar powered street lights. Lithium is reliable battery technology.

The lithium-ion battery has a large capacity. It is easy to maintain and replace as compared to regular buried batteries.

You need to install rechargeable batteries in your solar powered street lights. To test the light, you can use a non-rechargeable battery but no other than that.

The ordinary non-rechargeable batteries are of no use to solar street lights. You have to dispose of them as soon as they run out of charge.

The solar powered street light fixtures can be of three types:

• Split solar street lamps (all components are separately installed)
• All-in-two solar powered street lights (Solar panel is separate. Battery and Controller are in light fixture body)
• All-in-one solar street lights (all components in one body), also called integrated solar street light. All in one solar street light manufacturers are more and more, so there are plenty of choice on the market.

• Solar street lights utilize a natural source of energy (sun). On the contrary, regular street lights work on electricity by power grids.
• Solar powered street lights are costly at the first-time purchase as compared to regular street lights.
• You don’t need to worry about monthly electricity bills with solar street lamps.
• Solar LED Street lights are more lumen efficient than regular street lamps.
• Traditional lights last up to 8000 hours, whereas solar LED street lights can work for 5 – 10 years.
• Independent solar power street light poles reduce the threat of blackout. With regular street lights, you may experience a complete blackout with a power failure.
• Solar street lights are eco-friendly.
• You need less maintenance for solar powered street lights as compared to regular street lights.
• Solar street lamps are comparatively more weather-resistant and water-resistant than regular street lights.

You can replace your regular street light only if the pole is strong enough to bear the weight on solar panels and light fixtures.

You also need batteries along with solar panels. The solar panel charges the battery, which then gives energy to the solar street light.

You need to replace the regular light with solar LED street light, which is more compatible with solar powered batteries.

The clouds can block the sunlight but not completely stop the sun rays from reaching the earth. Solar panels can charge the battery in bad light conditions also.

Moreover, the batteries attached to the solar panel store energy to use in bad light conditions.

The temperature has nothing to do with the working of solar panels or solar powered street lights. As long as the solar panels are getting sunlight, the weather doesn’t matter.

The solar cells in solar panels convert the sunlight into electricity in all weather conditions.

The indicators on the sensors show the condition of the battery. It shows the charging and voltage of the battery.

The green indicator shows normal functioning, whereas the red light shows an abnormality in the battery.

If the indicator is off, showing no light, check the connecting wires, or maybe the battery is dead.

Your solar powered street lights may blink because your batteries need to be recharged or replaced.

Another reason for blinking solar LED street lights might be the accumulated dust on the solar panel. Clean off the solar panel; it will have a positive effect on the battery’s recharging.

• Your solar powered street light might show the green indicator at night. The green indicator shows the battery charging. Check if there is some powerful light source around that is influencing the solar panel. If there is no strong light source, then you must replace the controller.
• The red indicator on the sensor shows that the battery needs to be recharged. Suppose the red light is showing off without any load. Check your light controller.
• If your battery is discharging too soon, make sure the battery is compatible with the light size.
• If the battery is not fully charging, check the solar panel direction. It must face the sun properly. Ensure there are no obstacles between solar panels and sunlight, like trees, shadows, buildings, etc.

Your solar street lights manufacturers in China should offer you the trouble-shooting manual in details, so ask for them.

It depends on the quality of the solar street lamps and the system’s need. Roughly, the cost of a solar street lamp ranges from $20 – $400.

It excludes the installation fee and maintenance fee.

All in one solar street light manufacturer normally offer good prices.

Yes, you can.

Add the four main components to the existing pole. Make sure the pole is strong enough to bear the weight of all the components.

You don’t need the pre-existing electrical wiring. Change the light fixture to the compatible solar street lamp.

An integrated solar LED street light, also called all in one led solar street light, is a unit that contains all the main components of a solar street lamp in one lamp body.

It is a state-of-the-art solar street light that saves you from installing separate components. You may get fully or semi-integrated solar street lamps.

The all-in-one solar powered street lights, also called integrated solar street light, contain solar panels, LED lights, and batteries in one compact unit.

It may also contain a motion sensor inside. It is a cost-effective solution for solar street lights.

Yes, the solar street lamps can stay on all night long. Normally it’s 100% brightness in 1^st few hours, after that brightness will be reduced in order to save energy.

Some high-quality solar powered street lights can work even more than that.

Good quality batteries can store enough energy through solar panels to illuminate the light in the absence of the sun. All you need is a good 8-hour battery recharge.

You can request your solar street light factory to program the work mode as per your project need.

You can brighten up a large area with a 60 – 160 degree solar LED street light. The beam angle also depends on the length of the solar street light pole.

Longer poles cover more area as compared to shorter solar street light poles.

Some solar street light suppliers such as VST Lighting has patent bat-wing lens for street lighting purpose. The beam angle will illuminate the area along with the road to max use the lumen output.

Some solar LED street light manufacturers provide on and off switches with your solar street lamps. The on/off switch allows you to control the light.

You can easily control all these features with the help of a remote controller.

It is an appropriate solar street light to install in the median strip. It brightens up both sides of the road.

A solar panel is attached in the middle of the pole. It seems like a pole with two arms. Solar LED street light fixtures on both sides get energy from the batteries and illuminate the road at night.

You may need a powerful battery to give electricity to two luminaires simultaneously.

You can calculate the distance between two poles with the solar street light pole’s height. The space between two poles must be 2.5 – 3 times the pole’s height.

For example, if a solar powered street light pole is 6 meters high, you must install the second pole 15 – 18 meters away.

It shows you need to install shorter solar street lamp poles nearer as compared to long poles.

If you give enough project data to your solar street light factory, they can simulate the lighting results through Dialux software. The solution will tell you perfect watt, pole height and install interval combination.

A solar powered street light covers an area almost double its height. For instance, if the solar powered street light pole is 10 meters high, it will illuminate 10 – 12 meters on either side.

Collectively it becomes a 20 – 24 meters area. The distance between two poles or the total illuminated area also depends on the luminaire wattage.

High wattage LED lights with more lumen efficiency to cover up more area.

Smart solar powered street lights have automatic on and off system. These lights stay off during the day and works for 8 hours in the night. This is achieved by the lux sensor, which is also called brightness sensor. Sensor will detect day and night.

Smart solar street lamps are suitable for roads. You can adjust the timing according to the traffic times. You can connect these solar street lights with Wi-Fi.

You can use solar powered street lights anywhere you want.
