Solar Panel Specifications
Menu
Our Solar Street Lights are built in Australia. They are built Tough with die cast aluminium and 316 marine grade stainless steel. They will never rust and keep on working.
Our high quality solar street lights are designed to last 20 years. We never run the battery flat and they can stay on 24 hours / 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Because of that they don’t require a motion sensor, however we can add a motion sensor as an option.
This solar light weighs 31kg + 1.6kg for the luminaire. It can fit on a light to medium duty pole. We have added the single arm light head that is found on most street lights in Australia.

For our products, we use an MPPT Controller. This allows us to utilise 100% of the available power from our 160W Solar Panel.
if we were to use a standard PWM controller we would utilise only 64.8% of the available power of the 160W Solar Panel.
By using an MPPT Controller we are able utilise 100% of the available power from our Solar Panel.
We can adjust the brightness to conserve energy when there is low activity
All our Solar Lights are encased in aluminium and 316 marine grade stainless steel screws
All our Solar Lights come with a 3 year warranty

You can rest assured that you'll be getting the best service from your local Australian provider
Once our batteries charge for the day, we let them rest until sundown.
With Solar Street Lights Australia, you can expect that they will last for over 20 years
For customer convenience, our solar street lights are easy to install.
Grid at 1 meter intervals
With an impressive 2562Lm, using Dialux we can see that this light is compliant for P4 roads.
At 5.5m light center height we can achieve P4 lighting with a pole distance of 21 meters. The Light overhang is at 0 meters which is good to reducing pole costs.
At 6m light center height we can achieve P4 lighting with a pole distance of 30 meters. The Light overhang is at 2 meters which will increase the pole production cost.
Generally for P4 lighting category for local roads the minimum luminaire height is 5.5m. The pole spacing > 19m
Information gathered from Horizon Power, Western Australia (page 19 of 26)
Depending on which part of Australia, the height can be from 5m to 7.5m

There are many luminaires with many different configurations.
For Victoria there is Aldridge PLED.II.14W (17W) & Aldridge PLED.II.20W (24W)
For New South Wales there is Sylvania StreetLED MK2 17W reduced RRW
According to Street Lights by Ausgrid, Sydney, Hunter Valley, NSW, page 25 of their NS119: Public Lighting Design and Construction
Mounting height in situations where this luminaire is used should be kept as low as possible to a minimum of 5.0m (where the light is installed over a road), however this is dependent on the spacing of the street lights. The table below should be used as a guide to the installation mounting height.

As an example, if there are street lights installed on every pole on a street with a 12m RRW (Roadway Reserve Width) it would be possible to install the street light at a mounting height of 5.0m assuming pole spacings of approximately 35m. Where there are lights on every second pole on the same roadway configuration, the streetlight would need to be installed at 7.0m or above to achieve compliance.
If I enter this information into the Mackay Solar Street Light Calculator. It shows that it can last all year with an average % charge at dawn 63.92% and a minimum of 20.69% during December
Below is a daily performance report for this light. For this report the location is set to Mackay in Queensland,
View our calculator to see more performance reports at different locations.
Note this calculator is using the specifications of the 80W single arm series. The battery % at dawn is the same because the 160W system is exactly double the capacity.
