Modern solar lighting poles
Application area
Solar lighting systems
Lighting that works without cables, excavation or electricity bills, charging throughout the day and switching on by itself at night.
01 Approach
Solar lighting systems: how to plan it?
Solar lighting poles are the fastest and most economical solution where power lines are far away or excavation is costly. The solar panel on the pole charges the battery during the day; when it gets dark, the smart control board switches on the LED luminaire and runs it through the night with the programmed lighting profile.
Özserin solar lighting poles are built with monocrystalline panels, LiFePO4 lithium batteries and MPPT charge controllers. Panel output and battery capacity are sized according to the solar irradiation of the province where the project is located and the required operating time; in models with a motion sensor, the light is dimmed while the area is empty to save energy.

02 Design criteria
Points to consider.
These values are general design ranges; the exact result is determined for each project by a lighting calculation.
Get a recommendation for your project- 01
Regional solar irradiation
The system is calculated for the shortest and cloudiest days of the year. Thanks to their high solar irradiation, Türkiye's southern and south-eastern regions are particularly well suited to solar lighting.
- 02
Panel orientation and shading
The panel must face south and must not be shaded by obstacles such as trees or buildings at any time of day. These points are checked from the outset in the site layout.
- 03
Battery and autonomy
LiFePO4 batteries stand out for their long cycle life and temperature resistance. Capacity is set so that the light keeps operating through consecutive cloudy days.
- 04
Lighting profile
Profiles can be programmed, such as full power during the busy evening hours, dimming as the night goes on and a return to full power when motion is detected.
- 05
Total cost
Because no cables, ducts, excavation or electricity supply contract are required, installation and operating costs are lower than with a grid-connected system, especially on large sites and at remote points.
How many hours does a solar lighting pole stay on?
Operating time depends on panel output, battery capacity and the programmed lighting profile. Systems are sized to operate throughout the night, from sunset to sunrise; motion-sensor dimming preserves the battery reserve.
Does a solar lighting pole work in winter and in cloudy weather?
Yes. The battery is sized to take short winter days and consecutive cloudy days into account. A correctly sized system keeps providing light with the energy it has stored.
How is a solar lighting pole maintained?
Keeping the panel surface free of dust and dirt is sufficient. The LiFePO4 battery and the LED luminaire are long-lasting; if required, the battery and control board can be replaced on site.
Can a solar lighting pole look the same as a grid-connected pole?
Yes. Özserin can produce both solar and grid-connected versions of the same design series; this way, part of the site is lit via a cabled supply and the remote points by the solar system, all with the same appearance.
