Everyone knows that items at high altitudes pose significant risks during thunderstorms. When it comes to solar LED streetlights, which are often installed in elevated areas compared to regular mountain roads, it is essential to consider lightning protection measures. The installation of solar LED streetlights is quite extensive, with some customers installing them along mountain trails, leading to the consideration of lightning protection. It is also necessary to design lightning protection for solar LED streetlights installed underground, and it may be beneficial to install a lightning rod at the top of the solar streetlight.
As an example of a small middle pole, the foundation dimensions are approximately 400mm square, with a hole depth of 600mm and a buried piece measuring 500mm in length, including 4xM16 anchor bolts. One of these anchor bolts should be chosen for grounding. The primary function of the grounding rod is to connect the outside environment to the ground, allowing it to release electrical charges when lightning strikes, thus preventing lightning from damaging electrical wires and cables. At the same time, it is crucial that the configuration of the solar LED streetlight is reasonable. If an unreasonable configuration leads to long-term discharging of the battery, it will severely affect the battery’s lifespan.
Additionally, during winter, the discharge of the solar streetlight battery can be around 70%, so in colder regions, the battery should be buried at least 1.2 meters underground. This will help protect the battery and extend its lifespan.
