Recommended Pole Sizes for Different Wattages of Solar Street Lights

Tuesday, June 17, 2025

Discover how to choose the right pole height for various wattages of solar street lights. Learn how pole size affects lighting performance, safety, and coverage.

Choosing the right pole size is a critical aspect of designing an efficient and safe solar street lighting system. The pole height not only determines the distribution and intensity of light on the ground but also ensures structural stability and optimal performance.

Why Pole Size Matters

  • Light distribution and spread
  • Shadow minimization
  • Safety and visibility
  • Wind resistance and structural integrity
  •  

General Pole Height Guidelines by Wattage

Wattage (LED) Recommended Pole Height Application Scenario
10W – 20W 3 – 4 meters (9.8 – 13 ft) Garden paths, small lanes, residential roads
20W – 40W 4 – 6 meters (13 – 20 ft) Secondary streets, parking lots
40W – 60W 6 – 8 meters (20 – 26 ft) Main roads, urban streets
60W – 100W 8 – 10 meters (26 – 33 ft) Highways, wide roads, industrial zones
100W+ 10 – 12 meters (33 – 40 ft) Highways, multi-lane roads, ports

 

Factors to Consider Beyond Wattage

  • Luminous Efficiency
  • Light Distribution Type
  • Battery & Panel Mounting
  • Wind Speed Region
  • Spacing Between Poles
  •  

Installation and Safety Tips

  • Ensure proper concrete foundation for all poles
  • Use galvanized poles in coastal or humid regions
  • Check load-bearing limits of poles for solar equipment
  • Perform wind load analysis in high-wind areas
  •

FAQ – Pole Sizing for Solar Street Lights

Q1: Can I use the same pole height for different wattages?

A: It’s not recommended. Each wattage has unique coverage and brightness needs.

Q2: Is it better to go taller for better lighting?

A: Not always. Taller poles may reduce brightness if LED output is insufficient.

Q3: What kind of pole is best for 100W+ solar street lights?

A: Tapered steel poles of 10–12 meters with wind resistance are ideal.

Q4: Does the solar panel angle affect pole size?

A: No, but it may influence mounting and wind design requirements.

Q5: Can Guangdong Queneng Lighting customize pole height?

A: Yes, we offer full customization for height, load, and environment-specific needs.

FAQ

Sustainability
What is the wind resistance rating of Queneng solar street lights?

Our solar street lights are rigorously tested and can withstand wind speeds of up to 120 km/h. For areas with particularly strong winds, we offer customized solutions to enhance wind resistance.

Do Queneng solar street lights require a power connection?

No, our solar street lights operate independently of the power grid. They rely entirely on photovoltaic panels that charge the built-in battery, making an electrical connection unnecessary.

Battery Performance and Testing
What is a fire experiment?
The fully charged battery is placed on a heating device with a special protective cover and burned so that no fragments can penetrate the protective cover.
What is the internal pressure of the battery?
It refers to the internal air pressure of the battery, which is caused by the gas generated by the sealed battery during the charging and discharging process. It is mainly affected by factors such as battery materials, manufacturing processes, and battery structure. The main reason is that the gas generated by the decomposition of moisture and organic solutions inside the battery accumulates in the battery. Generally, the internal pressure of the battery is maintained at a normal level. In the case of overcharge or over-discharge, the internal pressure of the battery may increase:
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.
Solar Street Light Luhua
What makes Luhua solar street lights energy-saving and eco-friendly?

Luhua solar street lights are energy-efficient because they use solar power, a renewable energy source, to generate electricity, reducing reliance on the grid. The LED lights consume very little energy while providing high brightness. The eco-friendly design helps reduce carbon emissions and lower electricity costs, making them a sustainable and green solution for outdoor lighting.

Batteries and the environment
What is the main manifestation of the hazards of used batteries?
Waste batteries that are more harmful to human health and the ecological environment and are included in the hazardous waste control list mainly include: mercury-containing batteries, mainly mercury oxide batteries; lead-acid batteries: cadmium-containing batteries, mainly nickel-cadmium batteries. Due to the littering of discarded batteries, these batteries will contaminate soil, water, and people through the consumption of vegetables, fish and other food, causing harm to human health.
