- *Price influenced by wattage, integrated battery, sensor options, and quality
- High-quality, all-in-one solar street lights are typically $350 – $600 per unit when buying in bulk (100 units or more)
2. Bulk Order Discounts
- Volume savings: Bulk orders (100+ units) typically unlock 10–25% discounts on MSRP
- MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity) may be required for most manufacturers
3. Specification and Customization
- Wattage/brightness: Higher wattage LEDs (50–150W) increase price
- Battery type: LiFePO4 batteries cost more upfront but last longer
- Pole material/height: Aluminum or hot-dip galvanized steel options vary in cost
- Smart controls: Motion sensors or remote monitoring add $20–$50 per unit
4. Shipping and Import Fees
- Container shipping: $2,000 – $6,000 per standard 40-ft container (ex-Asia to US/EU)
- Duties, taxes, and inland transport need to be included in the cost calculations
5. Installation Services
- Add-on cost: Labor, foundation, and wiring (where needed) are separate; average installation is $200–$500 per light
Additional Considerations
Product Warranties and Certifications
- Warranty: Industry standard is 3–5 years on complete units
- Certifications: Look for CE, RoHS, IEC, or UL lists (improves tender qualification and reliability)
Local Incentives and Return on Investment
- Utility and government rebates can offset upfront costs by 10–30%
- Solar powered street lights usually show full ROI in 3–5 years (Source: IRENA)
Major Suppliers and Country of Origin
- Asia (China, India): Largest exporters, often lower base prices
- USA/EU: Higher prices, but faster lead times and localized support
Typical Procurement Process
- Request for Quote (RFQ) → Comparison → Sample Order → Contract → Delivery
Tips for Optimizing Cost and Value
- Compare total cost of ownership—not just upfront price
- Prioritize suppliers with positive track record, warranties, and post-sale support
- Consider hybrid (grid-tied + solar) options for challenging climates

Battery Performance and Testing
What is the internal pressure of the battery?
For example, overcharge, positive electrode: 4OH- - 4e → 2H2O + O2↑;
①The generated oxygen reacts with the hydrogen precipitated on the negative electrode to form water 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O
②If the speed of reaction ② is lower than the speed of reaction ①, the oxygen produced will not be consumed in time, which will cause the internal pressure of the battery to increase.
APMS system
Does the APMS system require regular maintenance?
Yes, regular inspections and maintenance are recommended to ensure optimal operation. QUENENG offers remote technical support and maintenance services to help clients maintain system performance.
