As global attention to clean energy and sustainable development continues to grow, the application of solar technology in the lighting sector is expanding rapidly. As a major solar resource country in North Africa, Algeria has actively promoted renewable energy projects in recent years to meet its growing infrastructure needs.
1. Project Background and Needs Analysis
Project Background
Algeria, located in North Africa, benefits from favorable natural conditions with an average annual sunshine duration exceeding 3,000 hours, offering significant solar energy potential. In recent years, the Algerian government has actively promoted public housing construction to improve living conditions for low-income groups. This project is located in a newly developed public housing area, aiming to provide residents with a stable, environmentally friendly nighttime lighting solution to improve safety and quality of life. Sresky, as a leading brand in the solar lighting industry, was chosen as the core partner thanks to its innovative technology and reliable products.
Requirement Analysis
Before project implementation, the team conducted a thorough assessment of lighting needs in the housing area, identifying the following core requirements:
-
Lighting Coverage: The area includes main roads, sidewalks, and public spaces, requiring streetlights to deliver uniform, high-brightness illumination for safe nighttime travel.
-
Energy Sustainability: Traditional grid power is both costly and unstable, whereas Algeria’s abundant solar resources are ideal for clean energy solutions.
-
Weather Resistance: The region may experience sandstorms, high temperatures, or extended rainy periods, requiring durable lights with strong protection ratings.
-
Maintenance Efficiency: To lower long-term operational costs, the lighting system must be easy to maintain with a low failure rate.
-
Smart Management: Lights should support real-time status monitoring and fault alerts to facilitate timely maintenance.
These insights laid the foundation for a tailored and efficient technical solution.
2. Technical Solution Design
Based on the above needs, Sresky customized a solution using the atlas solar street light as the core product, integrating the ALS 2.3 adaptive lighting system, BMS battery management system, and TCS temperature control system to meet the complex requirements of Algeria’s public housing infrastructure.
Core Product: Sresky atlas Solar Street Light
The atlas series is a high-performance solar street light developed by Sresky, featuring the following technical highlights:
-
High-Brightness Output: Up to 8,000 lumens, suitable for wide roads and large public areas, ensuring excellent nighttime visibility.
-
High-Efficiency Solar Panels: Equipped with 60W monocrystalline panels, with conversion efficiency above 21%, maximizing use of Algeria’s abundant sunshine.
-
Durable Lithium Batteries: Built-in 14.8V, 577.2Wh lithium-ion batteries with over 1,500 cycles, leveraging electric vehicle battery technology for long-term reliability.
-
Smart Lighting Modes:
-
M1: 30% constant light + PIR motion sensing for energy efficiency
-
M2: 100% brightness + PIR, ideal for peak usage
-
M3: 70% constant light for continuous coverage
These adaptable modes strike a balance between efficiency and performance.
-
-
Strong Weather Resistance: IP65 waterproof and IK08 impact resistance, withstanding sandstorms, rain, and heat.
