Solar street lights are municipal public facilities closely related to people’s daily lives. Currently, most cities in the country still adopt traditional modes of lighting control and management. Construction design units calculate the depth of the foundation based on the height of the lamp pole above the ground to ensure that the solar street lights do not shake or topple during use. The designers at the solar street light manufacturers primarily consider the following aspects during the design and construction process:
The impact of geology on foundation depth.
Different geological conditions exert different forces on the embedded sections of solar street light poles, and the pressures they can withstand also vary. Therefore, the construction design team determines the ratio of the pole’s embedded height to its exposed height based on the softness of the soil to ensure that the solar street lights do not shake or topple. This is a key point to pay attention to during the installation process of solar street lights.
The impact of geographical location on embedding depth.
In mountainous areas, wind resistance on solar street light panels can be significant. Therefore, embedding depth for solar street lights in mountains and open spaces is much greater than in urban building clusters. This is necessary to withstand mountain winds and to counter the wind resistance from solar street light panels and poles, which could otherwise affect the stability of the solar street lights.
The importance of increasing the weight of the base.
In certain special construction areas, designers may recommend appropriately increasing the weight of the base. In specific environments, especially in areas with strong winds or soft soil, adding weight and enlarging the base can significantly enhance the stability of solar street lights. In particular, using a poured concrete base greatly increases the stability of the solar street lights, preventing them from tilting or shaking during use, which could affect their normal lighting effect and reduce maintenance costs.
Before the installation of solar street lights, construction units need to conduct a detailed survey of the specific conditions at the proposed installation location, establishing and calculating a reasonable embedding depth that is proportionate to the height of the exposed lamp pole.
Manufacturers of solar street lights produce a wide variety of lamp styles, including solar street lights, LED street lights powered by grid electricity, courtyard lights, high pole lights, landscape lights, and more. Different styles of street lights can be installed in various locations, and customers are welcome to choose the suitable option for themselves.
