Solar Lighting Solutions for Roads, Municipal Infrastructure and Outdoor Applications

High-Efficiency Solar LED Roadway Lighting with Remote Control, Smart Dimming and Integrated Energy Management

LIKELITE provides solar lighting solutions for roadway, municipal, infrastructure, public-space and outdoor lighting applications where reliable illumination and reduced grid dependence are required.

The solution combines solar-powered LED roadway luminaires, mono-silicon solar panels, lithium battery storage, remote control and intelligent lighting management into a project-oriented lighting system.

A representative configuration for European roadway applications is based on a 130W LED Solar Roadway Light, with up to 160 lm/W luminous efficiency, IP66 protection, CREE SMD3030 LEDs and remote-controlled dimming.

The system can also integrate:

Microwave Motion Sensor + Light Control + Timer Control

allowing lighting output and operating schedules to be adjusted according to roadway conditions and project requirements.

The system can be configured according to road geometry, required illumination levels, operating hours, solar conditions, battery capacity and local project requirements.


Solar Lighting System Architecture

A typical LIKELITE solar roadway lighting system consists of four primary components.

Solar Energy Generation

Mono-Si solar panels convert sunlight into electrical energy during the daytime.

Energy Storage

The battery stores generated energy and supplies power to the LED lighting system during nighttime operation.

LED Roadway Lighting

High-efficiency LED technology provides roadway illumination while reducing the power requirement compared with conventional lighting systems.

Intelligent Control

Remote control, dimming, microwave motion sensing, light control and timer control can be configured according to the project.

The complete system therefore operates as:

Solar Generation → Battery Storage → Intelligent Control → LED Roadway Lighting

Solar Panel and Battery Configuration

Solar lighting performance depends on matching solar generation and battery storage to the required lighting load.

For the project configuration represented by this solution, the solar panel range is:

18V 36W – 36V 130W

The battery configuration can range from:

12.8V 15Ah – 25.6V 90Ah

The final combination should be determined according to:

  • Daily operating hours

  • Local solar radiation

  • Seasonal weather conditions

  • Required autonomy

  • LED power

  • Dimming strategy

  • Road classification

  • Installation location

  • Battery charging conditions

The stated charging time is approximately 5–6 hours, subject to solar conditions and system configuration.


Intelligent Solar Lighting Control

Solar roadway lighting does not have to operate at one fixed output throughout the night.

LIKELITE systems can combine several control functions.

Remote Control

Remote control enables lighting operation and system parameters to be managed without requiring manual adjustment at each luminaire.

This is useful for distributed roadway lighting installations and municipal infrastructure.

Dimming

The system supports dimming.

Lighting output can be adjusted according to programmed operating schedules or project-specific control requirements.

Microwave Motion Sensor

Microwave motion sensing can detect movement around the roadway and support adaptive lighting operation.

During periods of low activity, the system can operate at a reduced lighting level. When movement is detected, the lighting level can be increased according to the configured control strategy.

Light Control

Light control enables automatic operation according to ambient light conditions.

Timer Control

Timer control allows predefined operating schedules to be programmed into the lighting system.

The three functions can be combined:

Motion Detection + Light Control + Timer Control


Solar Roadway Lighting Engineering Design

A solar lighting system should be designed around the actual application rather than selected only by LED wattage.

LIKELITE can support the engineering process through:

Onsite Metering

Roadway Data Collection

Lighting & Circuitry Design

DIALux Evo Layout

Litepro DLX Layout

AutoCAD Layout

AGi32 Layout

Solar & Battery Configuration

Smart Control Configuration

This approach allows roadway geometry, lighting distribution, energy generation and storage capacity to be considered together.


Lighting Simulation and Layout

Professional lighting simulation is used to evaluate the proposed lighting configuration before project implementation.

LIKELITE supports:

  • DIALux Evo

  • Litepro DLX

  • AutoCAD

  • AGi32

The design process can evaluate factors such as:

  • Road width

  • Pole spacing

  • Mounting height

  • Luminaire position

  • Beam distribution

  • Lighting uniformity

  • Required illumination

  • Energy consumption

  • Solar system configuration

The final luminaire power and solar-storage configuration should be confirmed through project-specific calculations.


Energy-Saving Strategy

A solar roadway lighting system reduces dependence on conventional grid electricity by generating and storing solar energy locally.

The energy-saving strategy combines:

Solar Power Generation

  •  

High-Efficiency LED

  •  

Intelligent Dimming

  •  

Motion Detection

  •  

Light Control

  •  

Timer Control

The 130W configuration provides a stated luminous efficiency of 160 lm/W, while intelligent controls can reduce unnecessary lighting operation during low-traffic periods.

A representative roadway application based on this configuration achieved a reported 25% energy-saving improvement.

Actual energy performance will vary according to solar conditions, operating schedules, traffic patterns, lighting requirements and system configuration.


Outdoor Protection and Environmental Performance

Solar roadway lighting is installed in exposed outdoor environments and therefore requires appropriate environmental protection.

The specified configuration provides:

IP66 protection

for protection against dust ingress and water exposure under the applicable test conditions.

The specified operating temperature is:

-25°C to +65°C

The luminaire housing uses aluminum alloy, while the shade uses glass.

These characteristics make the configuration suitable for outdoor roadway and infrastructure applications where temperature variation and environmental exposure need to be considered.


Certifications and Project Documentation

For international solar lighting Projects, product documentation and compliance requirements should be defined before procurement.

The specified configuration supports:

  • CE

  • DoC

  • RoHS

  • UN38.3

  • MSDS

These documents are particularly relevant for international procurement and Projects involving solar panels, battery systems and electrical equipment.

Final certification and documentation requirements should be confirmed according to the destination country and project specification.
