Solar Roadway Lighting System
A solar roadway lighting system must be designed as a complete energy and lighting system rather than simply selecting a solar-powered LED lamp.
LIKELITE evaluates the relationship between lighting demand, solar radiation, battery capacity, operating hours, installation conditions and control strategy before determining the system configuration.
Core System Components
LED Solar Roadway Light
High-efficiency LED roadway luminaires provide controlled road illumination with an asymmetric roadway distribution.
Reference configuration:
Power: 130W
LED efficiency: 120 lm/W
LED source: CREE SMD2835
Beam angle: 75° × 140° CUT OUT
CCT: 5000K
CRI: ≥80
IP rating: IP66
Housing: Aluminum alloy
Lens/shade: Glass
Rated operating temperature: -25°C to +65°C
Solar PV System
The photovoltaic system converts solar energy into electrical energy for the lighting system.
Reference configuration:
Solar panel: 36V / 130W
Solar cell: Mono-Si
Solar power supply
Typical charging time: 5–6 hours
Battery Energy Storage
The battery stores solar energy for night-time operation and provides the required energy reserve for periods of reduced solar availability.
Reference configuration:
Battery: 25.6V / 90Ah
Lithium battery system
System input voltage: 12.8V–25.6V
Intelligent Lighting Control
The control system can combine several operating strategies:
Microwave motion sensor
Photocell/light control
Timer control
Remote control
Dimming control
This allows the lighting output to respond to actual usage instead of operating continuously at maximum power throughout the night.
Engineering Design Before Product Selection
Solar roadway lighting performance depends on system design.
LIKELITE provides engineering support to determine the appropriate configuration according to:
Road geometry → lighting requirements → mounting conditions → solar resource → battery autonomy → operating schedule → control strategy → system configuration
The design process can include:
01. Site Assessment
Existing road conditions, pole positions, mounting height, road width, spacing and surrounding environment are reviewed before equipment selection.
02. Lighting Calculation
LIKELITE can provide lighting design using:
DIALux Evo
LitePro DLX
AutoCAD
AGi32
The objective is to establish the appropriate luminaire distribution, installation spacing and lighting performance before mass production.
03. Solar Energy Assessment
Solar panel and battery capacity are configured according to the expected operating conditions, local solar resource and required operating schedule.
04. Control Strategy
The system can use microwave motion sensing + light control + timer control + dimming to reduce unnecessary energy consumption.
05. System Configuration
The LED luminaire, solar panel, battery, controller and control system are configured as one integrated solution.
06. Production and Delivery
After engineering parameters are confirmed, LIKELITE manufactures the system according to the approved configuration and provides technical documentation for project deployment.
Smart Solar Lighting Control
Traditional solar street lights often operate according to a fixed schedule.
For roads with variable traffic, this can result in unnecessary energy consumption.
LIKELITE solar lighting systems can integrate microwave motion sensing, light control and timer control.
A typical operating strategy can be configured as:
Low-power operation → Motion detected → Higher lighting output → No movement → Dimming → Scheduled operation
The actual control parameters can be adjusted according to project requirements.
This approach allows the lighting system to balance:
Road safety + lighting availability + battery reserve + energy efficiency
Energy Efficiency
Energy performance is influenced by both LED efficiency and system control.
The reference LIKELITE configuration uses a 130W LED solar roadway light with 120 lm/W luminous efficiency, combined with intelligent control.
For the referenced French application, the target energy-saving improvement was approximately 25% compared with the previous lighting configuration.
Actual energy savings depend on:
Existing lighting system
Operating hours
Traffic patterns
Dimming schedule
Solar conditions
Installation spacing
Lighting requirements
LIKELITE therefore recommends evaluating energy savings as part of the complete system design rather than using lamp wattage alone.
