Many customers tend to focus only on solar panels, light sources and controllers when choosing solar street lights while ignoring the choice of light poles. The choice of street light poles is also very delicate, the following 4 practical tips can help you choose the most suitable pole on a limited budget!
Pole height
Solar LED street light poles typically range from 8-15 feet in height, depending on the installation location and lighting requirements. If installed on pavement, the pole height is typically between 8-10 feet; if installed on a curb, the pole height is typically between 12-15 feet.
The pole height should be high enough to allow the street light to effectively illuminate the ground and improve driving safety at night.
Pole material
The material of the solar street light pole will directly affect its service life. The material of the pole should be chosen from materials with better weather resistance, such as aluminum alloy or stainless steel. This material can withstand the test of bad weather, to ensure the stability and durability of the pole.
In addition, this material also has high strength and plasticity to support the installation of solar panels and battery modules. Choosing a material with better weather resistance ensures that the poles will work for a long time and provide the city with stable night-time lighting.
Wall thickness of the pole
Solar street light pole wall thickness is generally between 2-3 mm, the specific wall thickness depends on the pole material and size. If you use aluminum alloy material, the wall thickness of the pole can be reduced appropriately; if you use stainless steel material, the wall thickness of the pole should be increased appropriately.
The wall thickness of the pole should be moderate to ensure the stability and durability of the pole, but also to ensure light weight of the pole. An appropriate wall thickness will improve the strength of the pole and ensure that it can work for a long time.
Pole design
Solar street light poles should have an excellent design so that they can support the installation of solar panels and battery modules.
The pole should be designed to allow for easy and quick installation and maintenance of the solar panels and modules. At the same time, the design of the pole should take into account the overall aesthetics and wind resistance of the pole.
Therefore, when choosing a light pole you should also consider its cost and the reputation of the supplier. Choosing a supplier with extensive experience will ensure that the light pole will meet your needs.
