First, let’s see what are solar street lights.
Solar streetlights are lighting devices that use solar energy to generate and store electricity. They can illuminate roads or other areas during the night or in low light conditions. Solar streetlights typically consist of solar panels, LED lights, storage batteries, controllers, and light poles.
During the day, solar panels convert sunlight into electricity and store it in batteries. When the sky becomes dark, the controller converts the stored electricity in the batteries into the current to provide illumination for the LED lights.
Solar street lights have the advantages of energy-saving, environmental protection, and no need for circuit layout. They are widely used in outdoor lighting places such as roads, parks, and squares.
As China’s Top solar street light manufacturer, Shandong Solar Get New Energy & Tech Co., Ltd, is an innovative enterprise specializing in the research, manufacture, marketing, and service of solar commercial-led street lights series products, including
Integrated solar street lights: Integrated solar street lights are composed of solar panels, controllers, batteries, LED lights, and the entire pole body. The solar panels, controllers, batteries, and LED lights are all integrated inside one pole.
Split-type street lights: Split-type solar street lights consist of five parts: solar panels, controllers, batteries, LED lights, and poles. The solar panels and lights are independently installed on the pole, while the controller and battery are installed on the ground or on the base of the pole.

4) Design for customers:
One of our customers from Trinidad and Tobago is looking for an illumination plan for a community. Customers required all-in-one solar street lights with cameras. The lights need to reach 5 fc value (FC VALUE means footcandle value. Footcandles are the most common unit of measure used by lighting professionals to calculate light levels in businesses and outdoor spaces. ). According to their requirements, we suggested they use our POLE STAR Series 150W solar street light with an HD camera.
The following is the photo-metric plot that we made for customers.

Some points need to pay attention when purchasing solar streetlights:
1) Lumens
The lumen value of solar streetlights is a parameter used to describe the total amount or intensity of light emitted by the streetlights. It is usually expressed in units of lumens (lm). A higher lumen value indicates a brighter street light. The main factors that determine the lumen value are the type and power of the light source, reflectors and lenses, and the power supply and circuit design.
2) Solar panel wattage
The size and efficiency of the solar panel determine the amount of sunlight energy collected. If the solar panel has a larger area and higher efficiency, the brightness of the light is usually greater.
3) Lamp power
The higher the wattage of the lamp head, the brighter the light emitted by the street light, which can provide better lighting effects. At the same time, a higher-wattage lamp head requires higher requirements for the solar panel and battery.
Compared with traditionally led streetlights, what are the benefits of solar streetlights?

Energy saving
|
Don’t require external power, and it doesn’t reduce pollutants such as CO2, the lighting is green and environmentally friendly.
|
Need to use fossil fuels such as coal and oil to generate electricity which is not eco-friendly.
|
Maintenance cost
|
Long life-term, low maintenance cost
|
Frequent replacement of bulbs, wiring, etc., which with high maintenance costs
|
Installation
|
No wiring required, easy to install
|
Wiring required
|
Reliability
|
With an intelligent MPPT controller to manage batteries’ charge and discharge. The controller is with many protection functions such as overcharge, over-discharge, Etc. The problems of battery damage and lamp failure are avoided.
|
|
Risk
|
They do not require electrical grounding, and there is no risk of electrical accidents due to geological deformation and lightning strikes.

What are the factors that affect the price of solar streetlights?
1) Led chips brand: The quality of LED chips affects the price, and well-known brands such as CREE, Bridgelux, and Philips are usually more expensive due to their high efficiency, good quality, and high lumen output of up to 160-190 lm/w.
2) Solar panel and battery power: The power and brightness of solar streetlights are important factors that affect the price. The higher the power and brightness, the higher the price of the solar street light.
3) Housing quality: Die-cast aluminum housing is usually more expensive because it is more heat-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and dust-proof, while plastic housing is cheaper.
4) Wattage/lumen output: The higher the wattage, the more expensive the price, but sometimes wattage is not the only factor to consider. The price may also depend on the lumen output, and higher lumen output means a higher price. For example, for a 12,000lm street light, the price is usually around $170-$200.
5) Mounting height: Mounting height determines the lumen output. The higher the mounting height, the higher the required lumen output. For example, a 6-meter street light usually requires a lamp with 11000-12000 lumen output.
