Many rural areas have undergone reform, moving away from the old rural era where people stayed indoors at night. Now, people enjoy engaging in activities outside during the evening. Therefore, new rural areas are installing solar streetlights. When it comes to installing solar streetlights, how many meters should there be between each lamp? What layout methods should be used for solar streetlights?
Generally, solar streetlights should be installed at a distance of 30 to 50 meters apart, which is considered optimal. The following three layout methods can be adopted: single-side lighting, cross lighting on both sides, and symmetrical lighting on both sides. Special situations such as T-junctions or curves can have lamps placed as needed.
For road widths not exceeding 10 meters, using single-side lighting is sufficient for illumination. For road widths between 10 and 15 meters, manufacturers recommend using the cross lighting method for solar streetlights. When the road width exceeds 15 meters, symmetrical lighting on both sides should be employed. At T-junctions, one lamp can be placed near the triangular section, and at least two lamps should be positioned close to the crossroad for adequate lighting. It’s important to consider areas with surveillance cameras to ensure clear monitoring, and lighting should be arranged based on the camera requirements. On curves, solar streetlights should generally be placed on the outer side to prevent traffic accidents involving the lamp post.
The principle for placing solar streetlights is to consider brightness and the characteristics of the location comprehensively, deciding between solar streetlight illumination or other broader lighting solutions. Any layout method must achieve effective installation while promoting energy savings and greening initiatives. In areas where lighting requirements are not high, the lighting duration can be shortened, while in regions requiring all-night illumination, manufacturers should provide solar streetlights with higher parameters. When selecting the design style of solar streetlights, it’s best to choose a style that fits the surrounding environment to maintain harmony with the setting.
