- LED Light: The light source, with efficacy ranging from 100 to 150 lumens per watt. Lifespan can reach up to 50,000 hours (Source: U.S. Department of Energy, DOE).
- Controller: Manages the charging and discharging of the battery to optimize energy use and prolong battery life.
- Pole and Mounting Hardware: Supports the entire system, designed to withstand environmental conditions like wind and corrosion.
Specifications of a Typical Solar Street Light
- Power Output: Ranges from 10W to 200W, depending on the application and area to be illuminated.
- Luminous Flux: From 1,000 to 20,000 lumens, ensuring adequate lighting for different environments.
- Battery Capacity: Typically between 12V 20Ah to 12V 200Ah, depending on the power requirements and autonomy needed.
- Operating Temperature: -20°C to 60°C, ensuring functionality in various climates.
- Lifespan: Solar panels can last 25-30 years, while LED lights and batteries have a lifespan of 5-10 years and 3-5 years, respectively (Source: Solar Energy Industries Association, SEIA).
Installation and Maintenance Guidelines
- Site Assessment: Evaluate sunlight exposure and required light intensity for the area.
- Installation: Securely mount components, ensuring correct angles for optimal solar panel exposure.
- Maintenance: Regular cleaning of solar panels and checking battery health to ensure system efficiency. Batteries should be replaced every 3-5 years to maintain performance.
Performance Metrics and Efficiency
- Energy Conversion Efficiency: Solar panels convert 15-20% of sunlight into electricity (Source: NREL).
- Light Output Efficiency: LED lights used in solar street lights have efficiencies of up to 150 lumens per watt, compared to traditional lights (Source: DOE).
- System Autonomy: High-quality systems can provide up to 5 days of autonomy, ensuring reliability during extended cloudy periods.
Environmental Impact and Sustainability
- Reduced Carbon Footprint: Solar street lights reduce reliance on fossil fuels, decreasing greenhouse gas emissions.
- Recyclability: Components like batteries and LEDs can be recycled, promoting a circular economy.
Case Studies and Applications
- Urban Areas: Solar street lights are increasingly used in cities to reduce energy costs and enhance public safety.
- Rural Electrification: Providing light to off-grid communities, improving quality of life and economic opportunities.
Selecting the Right Solar Street Light
- Assess Needs: Consider the required light intensity, autonomy, and environmental conditions.
- Budget: Solar street lights vary in cost based on quality and capacity. Choose systems that balance cost with performance.
- Vendor Reliability: Opt for suppliers with proven track records and good customer support, like Queneng.
By understanding these components and specifications, professionals in the solar lighting field can make informed decisions to maximize the efficiency and longevity of solar street light installations.

Battery Performance and Testing
What is the standard charge retention test?
After the battery is discharged to 1.0V at 0.2C, it is charged at 0.1C for 16 hours, stored at a temperature of 20℃±5℃ and a humidity of 65%±20% for 28 days, and then discharged to 1.0V at 0.2C. NiMH batteries should last longer than 3 hours.
The national standard stipulates that the standard charge retention test of lithium batteries is: (IEC has no relevant standards) The battery is discharged to 3.0/unit at 0.2C, and then charged to 4.2V at 1C constant current and constant voltage, with a cut-off current of 10mA, at a temperature of 20 ℃±5℃, after 28 days of storage, discharge at 0.2C to 2.75V, calculate the discharge capacity, and compare it with the battery's nominal capacity, it should not be less than 85% of the initial capacity.
What is the IEC standard cycle life test?
After the battery is discharged to 1.0V/support at 0.2C
1. Charge at 0.1C for 16 hours, then discharge at 0.2C for 2 hours and 30 minutes (one cycle)
2. Charge at 0.25C for 3 hours and 10 minutes, discharge at 0.25C for 2 hours and 20 minutes (2-48 cycles)
3. Charge at 0.25C for 3 hours and 10 minutes, then discharge to 1.0V at 0.25C (49th cycle)
4. Charge at 0.1C for 16 hours, leave for 1 hour, discharge at 0.2C to 1.0V (50th cycle). For nickel-metal hydride batteries, after repeating 1-4 for a total of 400 cycles, the 0.2C discharge time should be greater than 3 hours; for nickel-cadmium batteries, repeating 1-4 for a total of 500 cycles, the 0.2C discharge time should be greater than 3 hours.
