Introduction

As cities and communities move toward smart, eco-friendly infrastructure, Solar street lights are becoming a preferred solution. At Xeratech, we design innovative, reliable, and energy-efficient solar street lighting systems that ensure safety, reduce carbon footprint, and cut down electricity costs.

Types of Xeratech Solar Street Lights

  • All-in-One Solar Street Lights – Compact design, integrated battery, panel, and light. Easy installation.
  • Semi-Integrated Solar Street Lights – Flexible setup with separate panel and luminaire for higher efficiency.
  • High-Power Variants (30W, 40W, 50W) – Designed for highways, industrial areas, and large campuses.

Key Components & Technology

  • Solar Panel – High-efficiency PV panels capture maximum sunlight.
  • LED Luminaire – Premium LEDs delivering bright light at low power consumption.
  • Lithium Battery – Long lifespan, fast charging, and deep cycle durability.
  • Smart Controller – Automatic dusk-to-dawn operation, motion sensors, and battery protection.
  • Strong Housing – IP65–IP66 waterproof rating with rust-free aluminum body for durability.

How It Works – Step by Step

  1. Daytime – Solar panel absorbs sunlight and charges the lithium battery.
  2. Energy Management – Controller regulates charging, prevents overcharge/discharge.
  3. Evening – Light automatically switches on at dusk.
  4. Night – Stored power runs LEDs; motion sensors optimize brightness and save energy.
  5. Next Day – The cycle repeats with no manual intervention.

Advantages of Xeratech Solar Street Lights

  • 100% Renewable Energy – Zero electricity bill.
  • Smart & Automatic – Dusk-to-dawn operation with sensor-based dimming.
  • Durable & Weatherproof – Works reliably in rain, dust, and heat.
  • Easy to Install – No cabling or trenching required.
  • Low Maintenance – Long life of batteries & LEDs ensures hassle-free operation.
  • Versatile Applications – Streets, highways, campuses, gardens, industrial areas.
