Road Lighting

The system is designed to collect solar energy during the daytime, store electrical energy in the battery and supply LED lighting during the required operating period.


Why Choose Solar Road Lighting?

Reduce Grid Infrastructure Requirements

Solar road lights can operate independently from conventional AC grid infrastructure, making them suitable for locations where grid connection is difficult, expensive or unavailable.

Reduce Energy Consumption

The supplied Guadalajara application achieved a reported 20% energy-saving improvement.

The actual energy-saving performance depends on the existing lighting system, operating schedule, control strategy and site conditions.

Simplify Deployment

Because the lighting system integrates solar power generation and battery storage, installation can be considered for roads where underground power cabling is impractical.

Intelligent Operation

Microwave motion sensing, light control and timer control can be combined to manage lighting operation according to environmental and usage conditions.


Solar Lighting System Configuration

130W LED Solar Roadway Light

The LIKELITE solar roadway lighting configuration uses a 130W LED Solar Roadway Light with:

  • CREE SMD3030 LED

  • 130 lm/W stated luminous efficacy

  • Mono-Si solar cell

  • IP66 protection

  • Aluminum alloy housing

  • Glass shade

  • 5000K ± 500K

  • Smart control capability

  • Remote control

  • Dimming support

The supplied system configuration includes:

Solar Panel

36V / 130W Mono-Si Solar Panel

Designed to convert solar radiation into electrical energy for the lighting system.

Battery

25.6V / 90Ah Battery

Used for electrical energy storage and nighttime lighting operation.

Charging Time

5–6 Hours

The actual charging performance depends on solar irradiation, weather, panel orientation, temperature and system operating conditions.


Intelligent Solar Lighting Control

Microwave Motion Sensor + Light Control + Timer Control

Intelligent control is used to manage the available stored energy and adapt lighting operation to actual requirements.

Microwave Motion Sensor

The motion sensor can detect movement within the relevant lighting area and support responsive lighting operation.

This function can be considered for roads with changing traffic or pedestrian activity.

Light Control

Light-control functionality can activate or manage lighting according to ambient light conditions.

Timer Control

Timer control allows lighting schedules to be configured according to the required operating period.

Remote Control

The system also supports remote-control operation for system management and adjustment.

Dimming

The supplied product specification supports dimming.

The control strategy can therefore be configured around:

Daytime Solar Charging → Battery Storage → Scheduled Lighting → Motion Response → Dimming

The final control logic should be determined according to project requirements.


Solar Lighting Design Engineering

Design the System Before Installation

Solar lighting performance depends on more than the LED wattage.

LIKELITE evaluates the complete lighting application, including:

  • Road width

  • Pole spacing

  • Pole height

  • Luminaire mounting position

  • Road geometry

  • Lighting distribution

  • Required illumination

  • Operating hours

  • Solar resource

  • Panel configuration

  • Battery capacity

  • Environmental conditions

Onsite Metering

Site information can be collected before the final system configuration is confirmed.

DIALux Evo Layout

DIALux Evo can be used to evaluate the lighting distribution and road illumination.

Litepro Dlx Layout

Additional lighting layout and calculation support can be provided where required.

AutoCAD Layout

Technical drawings can be prepared for project coordination and installation planning.

AGi32 Layout

Professional lighting simulation and calculation support is available for Projects requiring additional verification.


Solar Lighting Performance Verification

DIALux-Based Lighting Design

For road lighting applications, LIKELITE can prepare a project-specific DIALux model.

The calculation can consider:

  • Road geometry

  • Pole spacing

  • Mounting height

  • Luminaire position

  • Beam distribution

  • Maintenance factor

  • Lighting requirements

  • Road classification

Typical DIALux outputs include:

Average Illuminance — Lux

Minimum Illuminance — Lux

Overall Uniformity — U0

Longitudinal Uniformity — Ul

These values should be generated from the actual project geometry and approved photometric data.


Solar System Engineering

Solar Generation + Storage + LED Load

A reliable solar lighting system requires coordinated sizing of the main system components.

Solar Panel Sizing

Solar panel capacity should consider local solar irradiation, seasonal variation, battery charging requirements and daily lighting demand.

Battery Sizing

Battery capacity should consider:

  • Lighting power

  • Daily operating hours

  • Required autonomy

  • Local weather conditions

  • Battery characteristics

  • Charging efficiency

LED Load

The supplied configuration uses a 130W LED Solar Roadway Light.

Control Strategy

Intelligent control can reduce unnecessary operating time and help manage stored energy.

The final system should therefore be evaluated as a complete energy system rather than by LED wattage alone.
