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.

Battery fundamentals and basic terms
What is a discharge platform?
The discharge platform of NiMH rechargeable battery usually refers to the voltage range where the working voltage of the battery is relatively smooth when the battery is discharged under a certain discharge regime, and its value is related to the discharge current, and the higher the current is, the lower its value is. The discharge platform of lithium-ion battery is generally constant voltage charging to a voltage of 4.2V and the current is less than 0.01C when stop charging, and then set aside for 10 minutes, in any rate of discharge current under the discharge to 3.6V discharge time. It is an important standard to measure the good and bad of the battery.
