Recommended Pole Sizes for Different Wattages of Solar Street Lights
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?
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.
