Introduction
Post-installation inspection is a critical step in the solar street lighting project lifecycle. It ensures that all systems are installed correctly, function properly, and meet performance expectations. A thorough inspection helps prevent future issues, enhances longevity, and ensures client satisfaction.
Key Components of a Post-Installation Inspection
1. Visual and Physical Inspection
- Check if the pole is vertically aligned and stable.
- Ensure all bolts and fasteners are tightened.
- Inspect for corrosion, cracks, or surface damage on lights and panels.
- Check the foundation for any signs of tilting or weakness.
2. Solar Panel Evaluation
- Confirm correct direction and optimal tilt based on location.
- Ensure panels are clean, dust-free, and securely mounted.
- Inspect cable routing for exposure or damage.
3. Battery System Check
- Verify battery type and correct installation.
- Check insulation, waterproofing, and proper ventilation.
- Test battery voltage and charge/discharge controller function.
4. LED Light Fixture Operation
- Confirm brightness and light distribution at night.
- Test automatic sensor and timer functions.
- Ensure consistent illumination throughout the night.
5. Wiring and Electrical Safety
- Inspect all cable connections and junction boxes.
- Check for exposed wires or overheating signs.
- Test voltage using a multimeter and verify surge protection.
6. Environmental and Safety Compliance
- Ensure the lighting does not obstruct paths or signage.
- Check pole height and light intensity meet local regulations.
- Verify grounding system for lightning protection.
7. Documentation and Handover
- Take photos, record GPS location and technical specs.
- Document test results and provide reports to clients.
- Deliver warranty cards, manuals, and emergency contacts.

Battery Performance and Testing
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.
Transportation and Highways
What is the expected lifespan of the solar lighting system?
