Solar street light is a new generation Zero Emissions, Zero Fuel or Running Costs, Zero Maintenance of energy conservation, and environmental protection product, solar street lights are a combination of two aspects of technology: solar power generation technology and LED lighting technology, completing two technologies with complementary advantages.

But because of the limitations on solar battery power and battery technology, so using solar power is hard to totally satisfy the lighting time, especially on a rainy day in the circumstances, in order to avoid this case, the lack of light, street light section and therefore we have developed a mains complementary solar energy street lamp lighting plan.

Hybrid Mains Complementary Solar Street Light

What is the Hybrid Mains Complementary Solar Street Light principle?

Hybrid Grid power complementary solar-led street lights, or we may also be called it on-grid solar-led street lights can solve the problem of insufficient solar light in high latitude areas and the long rainy season in certain areas. Compared with the ordinary solar street lamp, it solves the problem of light-off caused by rainy days and insufficient light. Both systems have their own advantages and disadvantages. And such technology could be also used in solar flood lights, solar parking lot lights, and integrated solar street lights.

Solar cell conversion in power through the charger to the battery to save electricity, center control at any time to collect information about the battery, avoid excessive charging and discharging, the maintenance the battery; At night when the battery power savings by an inverter into 220 v alternating current to the lamp power supply.

The technology used by the grid power complementary solar street lights is not a traditional grid-tied technology. It does not upload solar power to the grid. Its grid connection means that when it encounters a long rainy day and the solar power supply is insufficient, it switches to the grid power supply.

The difference between traditional solar light and the  hybrid complementary solar street lamp

The difference between traditional solar lights and the solar energy complementary solar street lamp is that the city electricity complementary solar street lamp needs to connect a group of electric power cables to the controller, and needs a transformer to convert grid AC electricity to suitable DC electricity. and the power supply is converted to the power supply when the battery is short of power.

The main advantage of a hybrid complementary solar street lamp

1. High-power solar street light is available

2. Strong environmental adaptability for solar street light

3. Do not need high requirements for batteries, solar panel

The main disadvantage of a hybrid complementary solar street lamp

1. Need cable and complicated installation

2. Additional switching power supply and constant current source are required

There are 2 types of Hybrid Mains Complementary Solar Street Light

1.  220V city electricity as main power, when it is cut off, the solar power starts to supply energy as a backup Emergency light.

2. Solar Power is the main power, When it has a long rainy day, and the battery has low energy, the 220V city power starts to supply energy.

(90% of the market use this solution, solar power as the main power could save a lot of electricity cost)

Hybrid Mains Complementary Solar Street Light Application Case

We will introduce a kind of solar street light with grid power complementary. Its main function is to switch to grid power when solar power is insufficient. In this way, when experiencing a long rainy season, or in areas with insufficient light at high latitudes, solar street lights can function well without the lights shut down.

Complementation of 220V city electricity solar street lights is widely used, In some important roads or highways, the lights are not allowed to be turned off. People either use solar energy as a backup emergency light or use 220V city electricity as a complementation.

As a manager who has been in the solar street light business for about 10 years, the most frequently asked question is, How much do your solar street lights cost? Today, The questions now are, how much do integrated solar street lights cost in Dubai?

Solar Power Overview in Dubai.

Dubai is the most populous city in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Dubai is one of the major oil producers in the world, and Dubai has also ranked one of the top carbon dioxide emitters per capita in the world. However, even though this is the case, the U.A.E. government has taken steps to shift to renewable energy, especially solar power.

Solar power still accounts for a small percentage of the entire energy production in the country. But the government is aiming to generate about 50% of its electrical energy from renewable sources by 2050.

Currently, they are doing well with this goal, and there is even a possibility that the country’s solar capacity will increase fourfold by 2025, raising the current 2.1GW total to 8.5GW.

Why Solar solar street light is a Good Choice for Dubai.

Dubai holds the title of one of the highest solar exposure rates in the world, so the district is undeniably suitable for producing solar energy, so it is very suitable to install solar street lights to save energy.

Benefits of Solar Street Lights

1. Lifespan – Compared to traditional street lights, solar-powered lights can last longer. How? a conventional street light can last for approximately an average of 5,000 to 8000 hours or to make it simpler, it can only last for a year or less of usage. On the other hand, solar-powered lights’ lifespan is around 5 to 7 years, making them ahead of traditional lights.
2. Energy-efficient – One of its advantages is its ability to save energy while producing enough solar power to light the streets at night. Generally, the energy that can be saved from solar lights is around 40 to 60% as compared to the traditional high-intensity discharge light products that consume a lot of energy.
3. Eco-friendly – For solar-powered street lights, they offer an eco-friendly lighting solution. Besides, it is an excellent alternative to the conventional street light system. Aside from it generates power from renewable energy, it also has no mercury in the structure. It also has much sturdy and durable combined materials contributing to its longer life span which reduces more waste compared to traditional street lights.
4. Less light waste – Street lights powered by solar are made with direct refractors that help in lessening the undue loss of light, leading to high-quality performance. Besides, the light from the solar lamps reaches where it is positioned, so there will be little to no light energy waste.
5. Low greenhouse gas emission – One of the main reasons for intense global warming is the constant release of greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. Thus, it should be lessened, if it cannot be avoided. By using solar-powered street lights, you can help in eliminating carbon emissions since it does not release greenhouse gases

Industrial Solar Street Light project in Dubai analysis

Dubai is a district known for its abundance of oil, and burning oil has been its primary source of electricity. However, as both the oil prices and the electricity demand increased, the government has turned to the notion of solar power so that solar street lights will have a huge market in Dubai in the future.

Dubai is also one of the largest developers of solar street lighting systems in the United Arab Emirates. Recently, they decided to install 500 pieces of integrated solar street lights in an industrial area, with some manufacturers in the city’s main areas. Often exploited at night by families due to extreme weather conditions in summer, they are very popular. Dubai has a mission: to be a city at the forefront in terms of renewable energy. Thus, it is obvious that the parks could only be lit by solar energy.

Dubai has a hot desert climate. Summers in Dubai are extremely hot, prolonged, windy, and humid, with an average high of around 40 °C (104 °F) and overnight lows of around 30 °C (86 °F) in the hottest month, August. Most days are sunny throughout the year. Winters are comparatively cool, though mild to warm, with an average high of 24 °C (75 °F) and overnight lows of 14 °C (57 °F) in January, it is very suitable for installing solar street lights.

Microprocessors in Philips solar street lights determine sunset and sunrise using algorithms. Because of the A-brand quality crystalline silicon solar panel, it is efficient and durable.

Its maximum efficiency can be attributed to its high-luminance LED module. Low-voltage solar controllers are known for being able to dim lights to conserve energy (electricity). Energy is stored in discharge batteries for use when needed, as well as ensuring that there is a backup power source in case of inclement weather.

Solar panels convert solar energy from the sun into electrical energy which is stored in batteries during the day. As the battery discharges during the night, electrical energy is released to power the LED luminaire. The solar hybrid input will be activated automatically if the battery is not sufficiently charged or if it drains throughout the night.

Main Advantages of Philips Solar Street Light

Solar street lights from Phillips operate independently; therefore, they have low operation costs. According to this, this type of street lighting is not connected to the electric grid and is a wireless light.

Lighting depends on heat energy from the sun, and streetlights store much solar energy during daylight hours. Solar street lights are less complicated to maintain and risk overheating than conventional street lights.

By not having external wires on the solar wires, accidents have been minimized during installation. Electrocution or strangulation can be the result. It is environmentally friendly because Philips solar street lights are solar-powered; hence, they do not contribute to carbon footprints.

 It has become an efficient and handy solution to lighting difficulties due to certain solar street lighting systems’ simplicity of transportation.

Within the first five hours of the night, the system performs at medium brightness. As the intensity of light decreases, the PIR sensor is activated by the movement of humans or until dawn.

If it senses movement within a certain radius of the luminaire, it automatically turns on the full brightness.

Solar outdoor luminaires require virtually no maintenance in comparison to conventional street lights.

Main Disadvantages of Philips Solar Street Light

Philips street light is more expensive compared to conventional street lights. This is the major reason why some people have never considered buying it.

Rather than considering the benefits of solar streetlights in the long term, they think about the cost. Their non-wired nature makes their theft a high risk.

A high monetary value makes them more susceptible to theft than traditional streetlights, which are low in value. It is possible to accumulate moisture, snow, and dust on the horizontal PV panels.

The result could be a reduction in energy production or even the cessation of it entirely. It is important to check the Philips solar street light regularly, particularly if it is installed in a location with severe weather conditions that can shorten or damage its life.

There are rechargeable batteries that need to be replaced now and then within the lifetime of the fixture. The total cost of the lighting system increases as a result. Battery maintenance costs include replacing rechargeable batteries, since they may be exhausted like some components.

Philips solar streetlights offer both advantages and disadvantages, so an objective evaluation of their overall benefits is your responsibility. Determine whether it is worthwhile to purchase them. Despite this, Philips solar street lights tend to be more popular; therefore, you need to give them a try.

If you want to know how many lumens you need for your solar street light. Today, we’ll help you choose the best lumens/brightness for your all-in-one solar street light applications.

Buy solar street light Lumens not watts

What is a Lumen and Why It Matters?

Lumen measures how bright a light is, or the intensity of brightness it emits. Nowadays, we use this unit of measurement to specify the light output of solar streetlights. For example, defining the brightest LED for solar streetlights can mean finding a solar streetlight with the highest lumens.

The 3 key points to judge the quality of solar lights are the brightness（lumens), the lighting time at the night, the cloudy days, and the life span. The main material that determines the life of solar streetlights is the lithium battery.

What is Watt and Are Higher Wattage all in one solar street Lights Brighter?

Our once convenient way of buying an all-in-one solar street light is by choosing from different watts printed on its packaging. We judge a light’s intensity by its watt rating. The higher the watts, the brighter it is.

Watt is a unit of measurement for power draw or the amount of electricity the solar street light consumes. It means that a 100-watt solar street light takes up 100 joules of energy to produce light in 1 second.

We used this proportionality way of saying how bright a lamp would be based on how much power it consumes. But eventually, watts can only accurately determine how much we have to pay for electricity bills.

On the other hand, lumens measure the light intensity of a lamp – not counting how much electricity it draws.

Now that you know that it makes more sense to specify brightness in lumens, how would you know if you got the right light brightness you need?

How Many Lumens are Needed for all in one Solar Street Light?

With the right solar street light manufacturer, you can easily replace existing street lights with solar-powered street lights that can last for 30 years, with minimal maintenance and operation cost.

As the third-generation light source led can save more power to keep the same brightness. We calculate the brightness by the lumens(lm) but not the wattage. Because the brightness is decided by the luminous efficacy (lumens per wattage).

The luminous efficacy of the lamp is 12-24 lumens per wattage only. And the Compact Fluorescent Lamp fixtures can reach 50-60 lumens per wattage. And led can generate more lumens per watt (lm/w). Then the led light fixtures in 2010 can reach 100-110 lumens per wattage.

In the market in 2020, different types of leads can generate different luminance efficacy (lm/w). Some led chips can reach more than 200lm/w, some can be only 130lm/w around. So the best to calculate the brightness is not by led power, but by the lumens.

In the summary of misunderstanding one and misunderstanding two, here we also want to remind you that solar light-led power is always labeled as much higher than real-led power.

Take the solar flood lights in Amazon shop, for example, they have labeled 100-wattage solar floodlights, 200-wattage solar floodlights, and 300-wattage solar floodlights. For the so-called 300watt solar flood lights, real led power is 15 watts at the highest. Because you can easily find that the solar panel power of it is only 25watt to 30watt. How can such a small power solar panel support 300Watt led-to power long-time lighting? No more than one hour!

Another question or factor to consider when sizing solar street lights would be considering the number of Lumens per radius illuminated and how high should the light be placed. Considering, for example, how many lumens are necessary for properly lighting 20m when the light is placed at 8m height.

Conclusion：

Hope this article about How many Lumens I need for an all-in-one solar street light will give you some help when you choose all-in-one solar street lights.
