Solar Street Light Purchase Guide: Which One is More Suitable for You, Integrated or Split?

Sep 24, 2024
As environmental awareness and the concept of sustainable development continue to gain popularity, people are increasingly developing and utilizing renewable, clean energy. As a representative of green lighting, solar street lights have naturally become a new choice for lighting systems. We have seen more and more solar street lights in the streets, park lawns, and mountain road scenic spots. Solar street lights can be divided into two types according to their structural design: integrated and split. So for users, what should they choose between these two types of lights? Next, we will compare these two types of solar street lights from three aspects: performance characteristics, installation and maintenance, and use environment. I believe it will help you choose which street light! 
 
Integrated solar street lights
 

1. Performance characteristics

The integrated solar street light has a very high degree of integration. It can integrate key components such as solar panels, controllers, batteries, LED lamps, etc. in one shell. It has a compact structure and is very easy to transport and install. Because the integrated solar street light has a simple and elegant appearance, it is more suitable for areas with certain requirements for landscape. 

The solar panels, controllers, batteries, and LED light sources of split solar street lights are installed separately. Usually, the solar panels are installed on the top or side of the light pole, and the batteries may be buried underground or installed separately. The advantage is that they are very flexible. Each component can be flexibly configured according to needs, and the battery capacity and lamp power can be adjusted according to the use requirements. Since the components are installed in a dispersed manner, it is conducive to heat dissipation, which can also extend the life of LED lamps and batteries.

2. Installation and maintenance

The integrated solar street light does not require complicated wiring when installed. It can be directly fixed on the top of the light pole or in a designated position, which greatly reduces the difficulty of construction and shortens the installation time. It is especially suitable for rapid deployment and temporary lighting projects; in remote areas or high-cost maintenance areas where frequent maintenance is difficult, the closed design of the integrated solar street light can effectively reduce failures caused by the external environment, but the integrated solar street light is limited by the integrated design.

The power and lighting range of a single street light may be limited, and the heat dissipation performance is slightly worse than that of the split type. Long-term high-load work may affect the life. Although the installation process of the
split solar street light is slightly complicated, it can achieve a more accurate layout and higher energy efficiency through reasonable planning and design. Since the components of split street lights are installed separately, it is difficult to troubleshoot faults and replace components.

3. Applicable scenarios

Integrated solar street lights are suitable for small roads, sidewalks, park paths, etc., where the lighting requirements are not particularly high and quick installation and uniform appearance are required. They are also suitable for temporary lighting or emergency lighting and are suitable for projects with limited budgets and rapid deployment.

Split solar street lights are more suitable for large roads, highways, industrial parks, etc., where lighting requirements are high and long-term stable operation is required. They are also suitable for scenes where the lighting brightness and coverage need to be adjusted according to the specific environment. Therefore, if it is a long-term investment project or a project with high lighting requirements, split solar street lights are a good choice.

Through the above introduction, you must have a deeper understanding of integrated solar street lights and split solar street lights. We can mainly measure which street light to choose from the above three aspects, and choose the street light that is more suitable for you without wasting resources. If you have some questions about which street light to choose for your installation area, you are welcome to contact us. We are the manufacturer and supplier of solar
