Our solutions combine LED roadway lighting, solar photovoltaic power generation, battery storage, intelligent lighting control and professional lighting design into one integrated system.


Complete Solar Roadway Lighting Solution

A solar lighting project is not simply the installation of a solar-powered lamp.

The performance of a solar roadway lighting system depends on the relationship between:

  • Road geometry

  • Required illumination level

  • Pole height and spacing

  • LED optical distribution

  • Solar radiation conditions

  • Solar panel capacity

  • Battery capacity

  • Daily operating hours

  • Weather conditions

  • Intelligent dimming strategy

  • Maintenance requirements

LIKELITE evaluates these factors before recommending the lighting configuration.

LIKELITE Solar Lighting Solution Includes

1. Lighting & Circuitry Design

Roadway lighting requirements are evaluated according to road classification, installation environment, pole arrangement and required lighting performance.

2. Onsite Metering

Where project conditions require field verification, onsite measurements can be used to support lighting layout and system configuration.

3. DIALux Evo Layout

Professional lighting simulation can be used to evaluate illuminance, uniformity, pole spacing and optical performance before installation.

4. LitePro DLX Layout

Lighting calculations can be developed for project-specific roadway and outdoor lighting requirements.

5. AutoCAD Layout

CAD-based lighting layouts support engineering coordination, pole positioning and installation planning.

6. AGi32 Layout

Additional photometric analysis can be provided where required by the project.

7. Solar System Configuration

Solar panel and battery capacity are configured according to lighting load, operating hours, solar conditions and project requirements.

8. Intelligent Lighting Control

Remote control, dimming, microwave motion sensing, photocell control and timer control can be integrated according to project requirements.


Solar Roadway Lighting System Architecture

Solar Panel

The photovoltaic panel converts solar energy into electrical energy during daylight hours.

For the Arequipa reference configuration, the system uses a:

36V / 130W Mono-Si Solar Panel

Energy Storage Battery

The battery stores solar energy generated during the daytime and supplies power to the LED lighting system at night.

Reference configuration:

25.6V / 90Ah Battery

LED Solar Roadway Light

The LED luminaire provides the required roadway illumination while minimizing power consumption.

Reference product:

130W LED Solar Roadway Light

with:

  • CREE SMD2835 LED

  • 130 lm/W

  • IP66 protection

  • Aluminum alloy housing

  • Glass shade

  • 5000K ±300K

  • CRI ≥80 configuration

  • 30,000-hour rated life

  • 75°–140° optical distribution configuration

Intelligent Control System

The solar roadway lighting system can combine:

Microwave Motion Sensor + Light Control + Timer Control

The lighting profile can be configured to provide higher output when traffic or pedestrian activity is detected and lower output during low-demand periods.

This helps reduce unnecessary energy consumption and extends battery operating time.


Designed for Different Roadway Conditions

LIKELITE Solar Lighting Solutions can be configured for:

Municipal Roads

Suitable for municipal roadway upgrades, residential streets, community roads and urban infrastructure where grid extension may be expensive or impractical.

Rural Roads

Solar-powered roadway lighting can provide independent lighting infrastructure for rural roads and areas with limited electrical grid coverage.

Highways and Access Roads

High-output LED optics and intelligent dimming can be configured for highway access roads, industrial access roads and infrastructure corridors.

Remote Infrastructure

For locations where grid connection is difficult, expensive or unavailable, standalone solar lighting provides an alternative power architecture.

Parks & Public Areas

Solar roadway lighting can also be configured for pedestrian routes, public spaces, parks, campuses and recreational areas.


Solar Lighting Engineering Process

01. Project Requirement Analysis

LIKELITE reviews:

  • Project location

  • Road type

  • Road width

  • Pole height

  • Pole spacing

  • Required illumination

  • Operating hours

  • Traffic conditions

  • Local climate

  • Solar radiation conditions

  • Battery autonomy requirements


02. Solar Resource Assessment

The solar system must be sized according to the local solar resource rather than simply selecting a larger solar panel.

Key considerations include:

  • Average solar radiation

  • Seasonal variation

  • Rainy periods

  • Temperature

  • Required autonomy

  • Daily lighting duration

For Projects in regions with significant seasonal variation, battery and photovoltaic capacity should be evaluated against the least favorable operating period.


03. Photometric Design

LIKELITE can prepare professional lighting simulations using:

DIALux Evo / LitePro DLX / AutoCAD / AGi32

The objective is to optimize:

  • Illuminance

  • Uniformity

  • Pole spacing

  • Mounting height

  • Beam distribution

  • Road coverage

  • Energy consumption

The final configuration should be based on project requirements rather than selecting a fixed wattage for every road.


04. Solar & Battery Sizing

Solar panel capacity and battery capacity are matched to:

LED Load + Operating Hours + Solar Conditions + Autonomy Requirement

For example, the Peru reference configuration uses:

LED Load: 130W
Solar Panel: 36V / 130W
Battery: 25.6V / 90Ah

The actual final configuration should be confirmed through project-specific solar resource and autonomy calculations.


05. Intelligent Lighting Strategy

The lighting system can operate under different control modes.

Full Power Mode

Used when higher illumination is required.

Dimming Mode

Reduces LED output during low-demand periods.

Motion Detection Mode

Microwave sensing can increase lighting output when vehicles or pedestrians are detected.

Timer Control

Lighting levels can be programmed according to predefined operating periods.

Remote Control

Remote configuration can be used where the selected controller and project architecture support remote management.


Why Intelligent Solar Lighting?

Traditional standalone solar street lights often operate at a fixed lighting level throughout the night.

This can result in unnecessary energy consumption during periods of low traffic.

LIKELITE intelligent solar lighting allows the lighting profile to be adjusted according to project requirements.

A typical strategy may include:

Evening Peak → Higher Output

Late Night → Dimming

Low Traffic → Reduced Output

Motion Detected → Increased Output

This approach can help improve the balance between:

Lighting Performance + Battery Autonomy + Solar System Size + Operating Cost
