In recent years, the purchase of solar streetlights for municipalities has become a growing trend across the globe. Local governments are under pressure to reduce public expenditure, promote green energy, and create safer communities. Solar streetlights provide a reliable, cost-effective, and sustainable solution that meets these needs. Queneng Lighting, as a leading solar street lighting manufacturer, has supported multiple municipal projects worldwide with customized and energy-efficient solutions.

Why Municipalities Are Turning to Solar Streetlights

1. Significant cost savings

Traditional streetlights depend on the electricity grid, which often results in high utility costs for municipalities. Solar-powered streetlights, however, operate independently, reducing or even eliminating electricity bills and lowering long-term maintenance costs.

2. Sustainability and green policies

Governments worldwide are adopting renewable energy solutions to achieve carbon neutrality. Installing solar streetlights directly contributes to these goals and helps municipalities comply with environmental policies.

3. Improved public safety

Adequate lighting in streets, parks, and neighborhoods can help to reduce criminal activity and road accidents. Solar streetlights provide consistent and reliable illumination, even in remote areas without existing grid infrastructure.

4. Easy installation and flexibility

Unlike traditional systems, solar streetlights require no underground cabling or complex wiring. This makes them an excellent choice for rural roads, developing urban areas, and challenging terrain.

Applications of municipal solar streetlights

  • - Government facilities and parking lots

  • - Rural development projects


Case Study: A municipal project in nigeria

In 2023, a Nigerian municipality collaborated with Queneng Lighting to replace traditional road lighting with solar-powered solutions. More than 2,000 solar streetlights were installed across residential and highway areas. As a result, the city reduced annual energy costs by 60% while greatly improving visibility and public safety for its residents.

FAQ

Solar Street Light Luqing
What kind of battery is used in Luqing solar street lights?

Luqing solar street lights typically use lithium-ion batteries, known for their efficiency, long life, and ability to handle high numbers of charge cycles compared to other battery types like lead-acid.

All-in-one solar street lights
Are all-in-one solar street lights suitable for highways?

No, split solar street lights are recommended for highways and high-power applications.

Battery Performance and Testing
What is the standard charge retention test?
IEC stipulates that the standard charge retention test for nickel-metal hydride batteries is:
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 self-discharge of secondary batteries?
Self-discharge, also known as charge retention capacity, refers to the ability of the battery to maintain the power stored under certain environmental conditions in the open circuit state. Generally speaking, self-discharge is mainly affected by manufacturing processes, materials, and storage conditions. Self-discharge is one of the main parameters for measuring battery performance. Generally speaking, the lower the battery storage temperature, the lower the self-discharge rate. However, it should also be noted that either the temperature is too low or too high, which may cause the battery to be damaged and unusable.
Schools and Educational Institutions
Can solar lights be used in cold climates?

Yes, our solar lights are designed to work in various weather conditions, including cold climates, with some models performing well at temperatures as low as -20°C.

Battery and Analysis
What are the characteristics of rechargeable portable batteries?
Every battery is an energy converter. Can directly convert stored chemical energy into electrical energy. For rechargeable batteries, this process can be described as follows: electrical energy is converted into chemical energy during the charging process → chemical energy is converted into electrical energy during the discharge process → electrical energy is converted into chemical energy during the charging process. The secondary battery can cycle like this for more than 1,000 times.
There are rechargeable portable batteries in different electrochemical types, such as lead-acid type (2V/unit), nickel-cadmium type (1.2V/unit), nickel-hydrogen type (1.2V/unit), lithium-ion battery (3.6V/unit) ), the typical characteristic of these types of batteries is that they have a relatively constant discharge voltage (there is a voltage platform during discharge), and the voltage decays quickly at the beginning and end of discharge.
