2024 Solar Street Lights Installation Guide, Easy for Beginners to Follow!

With the growing global focus on sustainability, solar led street lights have become the preferred lighting solution for outdoor spaces such as parking lots, roads, gardens, and communities. They are not only energy-efficient and environmentally friendly but also provide long-lasting and efficient lighting. Compared to traditional grid lighting, solar LED street lights are easier to install, requiring no cable laying and offering lower installation costs.

This guide will briefly explain how to install solar led street lights, helping you complete the installation quickly and make the most of these lighting solutions. We will use the Sunpro series solar Led street light as an example, showcasing the entire process from production to installation.

We will cover the following two aspects:

1. Required tools and preparations
2. Installation steps

Required Tools and Preparations

Before starting the installation, ensure you have the following tools ready:

• Lifting equipment (20 meters high)
• Adjustable wrench
• Allen wrench
• Installation manual

Set up safety barriers around the installation area to ensure safe construction.
Component check: Integrated solar street lights are simple, typically including the light body and base fixtures. Carefully check these parts before installation.

Installation Steps

Step 1: Choose the Right Installation Environment
When selecting the installation location, ensure that the solar panel receives ample sunlight. Avoid shaded areas or places obstructed by buildings.

• Pole installation: Choose open, unobstructed areas to ensure the solar panel can fully capture sunlight. （Refer to the solar street lights installed in the parking lot by our Australian client）

Wall-mounted installation: If opting for wall-mounted installation, the length of the light arm should be long enough, ideally no less than 1 meter, to avoid shade and maximize sunlight exposure. For example, refer to the installation images from our UK client，Note that this method is less optimal compared to other installation options.

Step 2: Solar Panel Orientation
Ensure the solar panel is positioned to receive the maximum amount of sunlight. When installing in the Northern Hemisphere, the solar panel should face south for optimal sunlight exposure. In the Southern Hemisphere, ensure the panel faces north to capture the most sunshine

Step 3: Install the Base
Select a flat surface and use four screws to secure the base. The base should be aligned parallel to the road edge and secured with concrete for stability.

Step 4: Install the Light Body
Attach the solar LED light body to the pole or bracket, ensuring it is stable and does not wobble. Adjust the light fixture’s angle to cover the desired illumination area.

Step 5: Testing and Adjustment
After installation, switch on the light, and it will go through an activation process. Simulate a nighttime environment by covering the solar panel to ensure the light automatically turns on and operates correctly.

Conclusion

By following the above steps, you can easily complete the installation of solar street lights. Outdoor solar lighting significantly reduces energy costs while providing long-lasting and reliable illumination for communities, roads, and parking lots. The 2024 solar LED street lights are an ideal choice for outdoor lighting, combining environmental sustainability with high efficiency.
