The 5 hot sell solar street light types in the market

There are many kinds of solar street lights on the market, and most of them use lithium batteries. If we compare the lights from the structure, we can divide them into:

All in one solar street light; Two in One solar street light;

Vertical solar street light ; Separated solar street light;

Mini solar street light.

There are all hot sell solar street light in the market. But which is the best for your lighting project?

In this article, we will analyze the differences between these 5 solar street lights, and give you some guidance for your choice.

1.All in one Solar Street Light

All in one solar street light is a solar lamp that integrates solar panel, led light, controller, and lithium battery into one box. Compared with the traditional solar street light, the biggest difference of this solar light is that it replaces the heavy lead-acid battery/gel battery with a lithium battery, thus simplifying the structure and realizing the integrated design of the solar light.

All in one solar street lights been widely used with the popularity and price reduction of lithium batteries. In fact, the design of All in one solar street light appeared in 2010, but it was widely accepted and applied by the market after 2014. Before 2014, the price of lithium batteries was very expensive. At that time, the price for a 40w all-in-one solar street light about 460usd. But now, the 40w price has dropped to 122usd/pc. It is the cost reduction that makes all-in-one solar street lights more and more competitive, and more and more customers choose all-in-one solar street lights for outdoor lighting projects.

The main advantages of the all-in-one solar street light as follow:

a.Integration design, all components put together, no need technicians to install and debug. After customers receives the light, they only needs to turn on the switch, then the light can work automatically.

b.Simple structure and light weight. One carton can hold one light, very convenient for transportation and can save lots of shipping cost;

c.easy to install, usually the light can be installed in 10 minutes.

d.Smart working modes for choose. Common ones include human body infrared induction, microwave induction, timer control, intelligent energy-saving mode, morning light mode…And can use remote control or mobile phone to change the working mode to meet the different needs of customers.

e.Use lithium battery, long life and at least 5years maintenance-free.

In one word, if your lighting power is less than 100w, or your pole is less than 10m, all in one solar light will be the best choice.

All in one solar street light has become the most popular solar street light in the markets of Asia, Africa and South America. If you need to buy or know more about this design, please contact our sales team by email(sales@soaringlighting.com), we will choose the best seller for your market.

2.Two in one Solar Street Light

Two in one solar street light was developed on the basis of All in one solar street light to make up for the two defects of All in one solar street light.

a.Cannot adjust the orientation of the solar panel.

After All in one solar street light was installed, the solar panels are perpendicular to the road. But for some areas, this is not the best charging orientation;

b.Cannot use a bigger solar panel.

The solar panel of All in one solar street light is calculated according to the average sunshine 4hs, and panel size is limited. But for some areas where the sunshine is lower than 4hs, it is necessary to use a bigger solar panel.

Based on the above two situations, we designed the two in one solar street light: put lithium battery and controller in the led house, but separate the solar panel. In this way, solar panels can be flexibly matched according to the customer’s situation, or customers can purchase solar panel locally to save shipping cost and tax.

However, the size of the led house is also limited, so if the battery is too large, sometimes we will put the battery and controller in one box, and fixed the box under the solar panel.

Two in one solar street lights are popular in many countries, especially in Bangladesh, Pakistan, etc. Our two in one solar street light have passed IDCOL test in Bangladesh, you can visit https://www.soaringlighting.com/Two-in-one-Solar-Street-Light-p.html to know more.

3.Vertical Solar Street Light

Vertical solar street light is an great innovation with latest technology. It adopts the vertical solar modules by surrounding the pole instead of regular solar panel installed on top.

Comparing with traditional solar led street light, with excellent aesthetic design and excellent wind resistance, it also makes solar panels difficult to fall dust and snow. At the same time, at any time of the day, it is always guaranteed that a solar panel is illuminated by the sun.

But at the same time, there are always some solar panels that cannot be irradiated by sunlight, so the overall efficiency of solar panels is low.

At present, Vertical solar street light has not been applied on a large scale, but with the efficiency of solar panels increases, it will be used for more and more projects.

4. Seperated Solar Street Light

Split solar street light is the most common solar street light. The common structure is: the solar panel is hung on the lamp pole, the lamp cap is fixed on the lamp arm, the controller is placed in the lamp pole, and the lead-acid battery is buried in the ground or hung on the lamp pole with a waterproof box. This structure is flexible, and the solar panels and batteries are not restricted. Now it is mainly used on high-power solar street light, and is generally installed on the main road.

In the past, split solar street light used mostly lead-acid batteries or gel batteries. Now, with the price of lithium batteries drops, many of them have been replaced with lithium iron phosphate batteries. But please pay attention to the battery installation to avoid theft.

If you have a project that requires high-power solar street light, and has strict requirements on brightness and lighting time, this street light is still the best choice. You can contact us and our engineers will make specific calculations for your project and give you the best solution.

5.Mini AIO Solar Street Light

The mini all-in-one solar street light are launched in Zhongshan, China. The biggest advantage is the cheap price, usually 15- 30usd/pc. Compared with the previous All in one solar street light, the most prominent feature of this street light is its low price, but it also has the following problems:

a.The actual power is small: Although suppliers claim that the power of these lights is 100w, 200w, 300w or more, these are not credible. Because of such a small size, it is impossible to support such a large power output from the lamp. In fact, the power of these lights is generally between 4-10w, about 6hs in a night, and the installation height is generally 3-4m.

b.The lamp body is not aluminum alloy, but plastic, so after a long time, cracks may appear;

In order to saving the cost, 100% use a second-hand battery, and usually only 2-3 battery cells. That is why they use the 3.2v battery system, because this second-battery can not make it to 12v.

In summary, this is a very cheap All in one solar street light. It has low power and short lighting time, but for some small roads or places where lighting requirements are not very high, this kind of light can still be a choice.
