Separated Solar Street Light

Our separated solar street lights use a PV panel mounted independently from the LED luminaire, allowing the panel orientation and light direction to be planned for the site. Battery and controller placement depends on the selected system. These off-grid lighting systems can be considered for municipal streets, industrial parks, access roads and commercial properties. For project selection, we review road width, mounting height, required illumination, local solar conditions, operating hours and battery storage together. Separate components require suitable mounting arrangements and electrical connections between system parts. Send us your site layout and lighting requirements to discuss an appropriate configuration.

Split System Layout

Plan the Solar Panel, Luminaire and Battery Arrangement

Separate mounting gives designers more flexibility, but the location of each component affects installation, wiring and maintenance access.

01 / SOLAR PANEL

Choose a Suitable Panel Position

Check shading, orientation, tilt, wind exposure and available mounting space. The panel position should be assessed using local solar conditions, not assumed to provide adequate charging at every site.

02 / LED LUMINAIRE

Match the Road Geometry

Assess mounting height, outreach arm, road width, pole spacing and optical distribution. Required illumination and uniformity should be checked against the project's lighting criteria.

03 / BATTERY & CONTROL

Confirm Battery and Cable Layout

Battery housing and controller placement vary by design. Verify the installation position, temperature limits, cable sizing, connector protection and access for servicing.

Project Selection

Specifications to Confirm Before Quotation

A 200W product name alone cannot establish roadway brightness, battery runtime or PV charging capacity. Review the actual system data for the selected model.

Item Information to Confirm Why It Matters
Light Output Actual LED input power, luminaire lumens and photometric distribution Rated watts are not a substitute for calculated road illuminance and uniformity.
Site Geometry Road width, pole height, arm length, tilt and pole spacing Determines lighting coverage and installation fit.
Solar Panel PV power, voltage, orientation and estimated daily energy yield Charging depends on the site and seasonal solar resource.
Battery Storage Chemistry, usable Wh, voltage, charging limits and protection Determines usable night-time energy and operating limits.
Operating Profile Hours per night, dimming levels and sensor settings if fitted Changes daily energy demand and backup runtime.
Autonomy Required consecutive nights without adequate charging Must be calculated for the selected brightness schedule and local weather.
Installation Panel and luminaire mounts, cable runs, pole loading and service access Impacts electrical losses, site work and installation safety.
Documents Applicable test reports, wiring information, photometric files and battery shipping documents Requirements differ by destination, tender and exact model.

Typical Applications

Where Split Solar Street Lights May Be Suitable

Municipal Access Roads

Consider split systems when pole position, panel exposure and road lighting direction need separate assessment.

Industrial Parks

Review vehicle movement, operating hours, maintenance access and any site-specific lighting requirements.

Commercial Property Roads

Match fixture locations and lighting levels to entrances, perimeter routes and internal vehicle lanes.

Remote Roads and Facilities

Consider off-grid lighting where utility supply is unavailable, subject to solar resource, battery and site checks.

Site Design

Four Checks Before Approving a Street Light Layout

1

Set Lighting Targets

Provide the road type, width, pole layout and specified illuminance or luminance criteria.

2

Estimate Energy Demand

Confirm the night-time operating schedule, brightness levels and any controls.

3

Check Solar and Battery Sizing

Use site solar conditions, battery capacity and expected low-sun periods.

4

Review Installation Details

Check mounting loads, interconnecting cables, environmental exposure and service access.

System Comparison

Separated or Integrated Solar Street Lights?

Consideration Separated System Integrated System
Panel Position PV panel can be mounted independently from the luminaire. Panel and luminaire are generally assembled within one fixture.
Installation Work Requires mounting and electrical connections between separate components. Typically reduces inter-component wiring within the fixture.
Layout Flexibility Can suit sites needing different panel and lighting directions. Can suit locations where a compact fixture layout is preferred.
Selection Priority Review component placement, cable runs and mounting constraints. Review fixture size, panel exposure and maintenance access.

For a compact alternative, compare our integrated solar street lights. Both arrangements still require lighting and energy calculations for the project.

Technical Review

Documents and Checks for Project Approval

Please identify the documents required by your customer or tender. We can check which model-specific files are available before you finalize the purchase specification.

Lighting Design

Ask for luminaire data, optical distribution and available IES files to assess the project layout.

Electrical & Mechanical

Check PV and battery ratings, controller settings, wiring, mounting dimensions and environmental limits.

Testing & Shipping

Confirm applicable ingress-protection reports, safety documentation and lithium-battery transport files for the selected model and market.

  • Confirm the precise luminaire and PV module ratings, not the model name alone.
  • Check battery operating and charging temperature limits for the destination.
  • Review pole and panel loads with the site's structural requirements.
  • Allow for periodic cleaning, inspection and component servicing.

Buyer Questions

Separated Solar Street Light FAQ

How is a separated solar street light different from an integrated model? +

A separated system mounts the PV panel apart from the LED luminaire, while an integrated design groups the main components in one fixture. Battery and controller placement can vary by model.

Does a separated solar street light need wiring? +

Yes. Separate components need suitable electrical cables and protected connections. A stand-alone solar system may avoid a utility-grid connection, but it is not a cable-free installation.

Does a 200W product name tell me the actual light output? +

No. Confirm whether 200W refers to the luminaire input, the PV module or a product designation. For road design, review actual lumens, optical data and the operating schedule.

How do I size the solar panel and battery for rainy periods? +

Start with daily lighting energy demand, local seasonal solar conditions, usable battery capacity and the required number of low-sun nights. Runtime cannot be confirmed from battery amp-hours or PV watts alone.

Are separated solar street lights maintenance-free? +

No. PV surfaces, cable connections, brackets, luminaires and battery condition should be inspected at intervals appropriate to the site. Maintenance procedures depend on the selected equipment.

Can the solar panel be installed away from the light fixture? +

That is a key reason to consider a split system. The allowed cable distance, conductor size, voltage drop and mounting arrangement must still be checked for the selected configuration.

What should I send for a street light project quotation? +

Send the destination, road width, pole height and spacing, target lighting level, nightly schedule, expected low-sun duration, quantity, required documents and available site drawings.
