Hybrid Mains Complementary Solar Street Light

Hybrid Mains Complementary Solar Street Light

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.

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.

      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.

          500 pieces of government industrial all-in-one solar street lights project, completed in May 2022 in Dubai by Clodesun.

          After finished install the 500 solar street light projects in Dubai in May 2022, Maybe the government will be very satisfied with the solar street light effect, quality, and our after-sales service, the government plans to purchase another 600 sets of 100w integrated solar street lights from Clodesun in 3 months to install in their capital, we hope the day will come soon.

            solar street light design caculation

            2023 Guidance of Solar Street Light Design Caculation

            Solar street light is charged by solar panel in the daytime and work at night, there is a built-in lithium battery, and different solar panel and battery configuration can meet different illumination requirement. In this article, Clodesun will introduce the solar street light design calculation.

            SOLAR led STREET LIGHT

            Solar Street lights Battery Design

            Step 1, calculate the current:

            For example 12V battery system; 60 watts solar street light power.

            Current(A) = 60W ÷ 12V = 5 A

            Calculate the battery capacity demand:

            For example, the cumulative lighting time of a street lamp every night needs to be 7 hours (H) with a full load;

            (for example, open at 8:00 p.m., close 1 road at 11:30 p.m., open 2 roads at 4:30 a.m., and close at 5:30 a.m.)

            It needs to meet the lighting requirements of 5 consecutive rainy days. (5 days plus the night before the rainy day, 6 days in total)

            Battery capacity = 5A × 7h × (5 + 1) days = 5A × 42h = 210 ah

            Calculation of solar street lamp solar panel

            3: Calculate the peak demand (WP) of the solar panel

            The cumulative lighting time of the street lamp every night needs to be 7 hours (H);

            ★: the average daily effective illumination time of the solar panel is 4-5 hours (H);

            At least 20% of the reserved amount for the solar panel needs to be reserved.
            the rated power of the LED lamp in a solar streetlight is 30W at 12V.

            LED brightness at night will be set as 1 hour 60% + 5 hours 100% + 6 hours 40%

            3 days of autonomy, in other ways, it can support 3 rainy/cloudy days

            battery type is LiFePO4 batteries, the DoD would be 80%

            Step 2: Calculate the daily energy consumption of the LED lamp

            the current consumption of the LED lamp = 30/12 = 2.5Amps

            the total power consumption in a day = 8 hours at 100% brightness

            so the daily power consumption = 2.5 x 8 = 20Ah.

            Step 3: Considering the 3 days’ autonomy
            if we design solar-powered streetlights that can sustain for 3 rainy/cloudy days, then we should multiply daily power consumption by days of autonomy

            that will be, 20Ah x 3 = 60Ah.

            Step 4: Considering the depth of discharge.

            in this example, our battery type is LiFePO4, and Its DoD is 80%

            so the battery size should be 60Ah/80% = 75Ah

            Solar Street Light Solar Panel Design

            The electricity generated by solar panels should be used to make up for the electricity that was used last night, and at the same time, the electricity to be used tonight should be fully charged, that is,

            Solar panel power generation = daily power consumption * 2

            Solar panel power generation = solar panel power * installation site sunshine peak hours * power generation efficiency

            Solar panel power=daily power consumption*2/(peak hours of sunshine at installation location*generation efficiency)

            The peak sunshine hours of the installation site can also be found on the Internet, we will take 4 (most places are around 4 hours unless other places with particularly good sunshine can reach 5 hours).

            The power generation efficiency of solar systems is generally 70-75%.

            Solar Street Light Pole Height Design

            The height of the solar power street light directly affects the illumination range of the led lamps. The higher the light pole, the wider the illumination range according to the Pythagorean theorem.

            Scenic spots and parks are generally suitable for installing solar power street lights of about 7 meters, At night, the traffic of pedestrians and vehicles on rural roads is not large, so it is generally installed by one-sided interactive lighting, and the installation distance is about 20-25 meters. If it is less than 20 meters, part of the lighting will be affected. In addition, one more street light should be installed at the corner to avoid lighting blind spots.

            solar power street light installation 3D photometric drawing

            If you want to install a solar power street light with a pole height of 8 meters, you must ensure that the distance between the street lights is 25-30 meters. You should use the cross-lighting method for installation on both sides. This method is mostly used for road lighting with a width of 10 -15 meters.

            For roads with 12-meter light poles, the longitudinal spacing of solar power street lights is generally recommended to be 30-50 meters. Symmetrical lighting on both sides should be used, and the road lighting width needs to exceed 15 meters.

            Solar Street Lighting  Installation Design?

            Different countries and regions have different geographic locations and latitudes. and we may set different battery capacities and solar panel sizes for the solar streetlights. When people install solar street lights someplace, on one side, the solar panel can face the sun directly, but on the other side, the solar panel can not face the sun, so if the solar panel can be adjustable, it will absorb more solar energy, which can maximize the conversion of solar energy while the lower quality solar led street light panel is fixed, causing low conversion rate of solar and the using areas are also limited, so when we design solar street light project, we need to confirm that the sun can face the solar panel on both side of the road

            And we also need to consider the amount of traffic or activity in the area that needs illumination. For example, if solar street lights are installed on highways or airports, the traffic of people and vehicles is very busy and the lighting illuminations are relatively high. For example, especially on the highway, the client usually requires 100% 12 hours at night and last 3-4 rainy days. Conventional solar street lights can not meet the lighting requirements. then we need to consider enlarging the size of the solar panel and the capacity of the battery, another method is to increase the capacity of the solar street light battery and reduce the power of the LED.

            When solar street lights are installed in parks and village roads, the traffic of people is not very busy, and the illumination requirements are not high. The government can consider using conventional solar street lights at this time in order to save costs and energy.

            Conclusion

            Before we start a solar street light project, we need to know the factors that affect the working solar power street light system, Like the width and lanes of the road, Lux level, working hours per day, local sunshine conditions, average continuous rainy days, and the highest or lowest environment temperature. With these conditions, a scientific and reasonable solar power system can be designed.

              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.

                  Solar street light with automatic motion sensor

                  Solar street light with automatic motion sensor

                  Highway solar street lights project in Saudi Arabia, completed in 2022. 500units of 100W & 120W CF Series all-in-one solar street lights are applied in this project. Excellent patentin integrated design makes it very easy to install and maintain. Intelligence MPPT controller realizes intelligent street lighting control. Motion sensor makes the lamps save electricity more effectively. The solar street light with automatic motion sensor could work continuously for 5-7 autonomy days under smart mode.

                  There are three working modes of solar street lights as follows.

                  1. Solar street light with a Time Control

                  The MPPT controller also initiates the dimming action and light intensity of the solar street light. For example, at certain times of the day, the LED light can project varying amounts of illumination as illustrated below.

                  From 6 pm to 7 pm – 70% brightness
                  From 8 pm to 10 pm – 100% brightness
                  From 11 pm to 5 pm – 30% brightness
                  When the sensor detects people, it will automatically turn to 100% brightness even at any time of the night. Thus, energy usage is conserved.

                  2. Solar street light with Motion sensor

                  Motion sensors can either be microwave or infrared. An infrared motion sensor detects heat from objects or people while microwave sensors let bounced signals enter the sensor.

                  The motion sensor is capable of detecting people up to a certain distance before opening the LED light. This can be a 5m to 6 m of distance.

                  Solar street lights with automatic motion sensors light outdoors turn 100% brightness mode in 2 seconds when motion is detected; it reverts back to 30% energy saving mode again if people are out.

                  3. Solar street light with PIR sensor

                  Infrared induction uses the principle of pyroelectric exploration, which triggers streetlights by sensing the temperature changes in the environment. Once the human body or other objects emitting infrared energy enter the range, it will react. The sensing distance is only 3-5m. When someone passes by, the infrared sensor is triggered, and the light automatically turns on the strong light mode, and the strong light generally lasts for 30 seconds. When a person leaves the sensing range, the light automatically switches to the dim mode, waits for the next time someone approaches, and then adjusts the bright mode.

                  With the advantages of smart solar LED street lamps, we could not only save a lot of energy but also not need to worry about electricity failure anymore.

                    Buy solar street light Lumens not watts

                    How many Lumens do I need for solar street light?

                    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

                    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.
