How to Install an All-in-One Solar Street Light

How Long Will It Take to Finish an Installation?

In my experience with this brand, it only took 10 minutes to read through and understand the process. Then another 10 minutes to install it for the first time. The next installations only took 5 to 7 minutes for each street light.

So for 10 street lights and, say, a pole distance of 35 meters each, it would only take maybe 2 hours to finish the installation process, if you’re a one-man army. Of course, installation time is lesser if there are two or more installers.

And you won’t need any engineering background, by the way. There’s no wiring and circuitry process in solar street light products as they are all pre-wired in the LED fixture. Not unless you want to wire things on your own, you can refer to “Make a Smart Solar Powered Street Lamp” blog.

At the end of the day, you’ll feel heroic if you were able to install a street light by yourself. So read on to know how you can do it yourself.

Tips When Installing All-in-One Solar Street Lights

Before you install your first All-in-One Solar Street Light, make sure to follow these tips so you won’t have a problem with its operation.

1. Make sure that the solar panel direction faces the sun at 2:00 pm

As the solar panel is a fixed component, make sure that when you install the solar street light, the solar panel direction faces the direction of the sun at its highest peak. This is at around 12:00 nn to 2:00 pm.

During these hours, the sun’s intensity is very high and your solar panel can receive as much energy as it can. To make your solar street light work more efficiently, be sure to set the direction of the panel in such a way that that it faces the sun at 2pm.

2. Keep the Solar Street Light Away From the Shadow of Trees and Buildings

This is to maximize the efficiency of your solar panel and so that the battery can be fully charged.

3. Keep a Short Distance Between the Pole and the Lamp

Again, this is to ensure that the panel does not get any shadow from any object including the pole.

How It Should Work After Installation

After you install your all-in-one solar street light, it should be able to automatically switch on at dusk and switch off at dawn. It must also work automatically from dim to full brightness, depending on your specified time schedule profile setting.
