Main Components of an All-in-Two Solar Street Light

The installation shown in the video includes:

• High-luminance LED luminaire

• High-efficiency monocrystalline solar panel

• Hot-dip galvanized bracket arm

• High-grade hardware components

• Hot-dip galvanized street light pole

The system is designed around a separated solar panel and luminaire structure, allowing the panel to be positioned independently from the lighting fixture.

Step 1: Install the Solar Panel

Solar panel installation is the first major step.

1. Align the Mounting Structure

Align the angle iron with the mounting holes on the back of the solar panel.

Make sure the mounting points match correctly before tightening the hardware.

2. Route the Solar Panel Cables

Pass the solar panel cables through the conduit sleeve.

This prepares the cables for later routing through the main light pole.

3. Secure the Solar Panel

Secure the panel using the required bolts and washers.

The installation video specifically indicates that anti-corrosion washers should be included.

4. Set the Correct Solar Panel Direction

After mounting the panel, adjust its orientation according to the installation location.

The video recommends:

• South-facing in the Northern Hemisphere

• North-facing in the Southern Hemisphere

After confirming the direction:

1. Secure the panel with bolts.

2. Route the cables into the main light pole.

Final solar-panel orientation should still account for the actual project location and site conditions.

Step 2: Assemble the Bracket Arm and LED Luminaire

The next stage is installing the bracket arm and LED luminaire.

1. Route the Cable Through the Pole Arm

Feed the solar panel cable through the pre-drilled mounting opening on the light pole arm.

2. Connect the Luminaire Cable

Route the cable through the arm and connect it with the luminaire cable.

After connection, tighten the waterproof connector.

3. Secure the Bracket and Luminaire

Position the arm and LED luminaire correctly and secure both components in place.

Step 3: Wiring and System Testing

Testing the system before fully installing the pole is an important part of the process.

It allows the installer to verify basic wiring and light-control behavior while the components are still accessible.

1. Initial Wiring Test

Connect the solar panel and luminaire according to the demonstrated wiring configuration.

Test before full installation to prevent malfunctions - reduces rework by 60%!

2. Test the Light-Control Function

The video demonstrates the following sequence:

1. Plug in the solar panel — the light should remain off and the indicator should blink.

2. Fully cover the solar panel — the LED light should turn on.

3. Uncover the solar panel — the LED light should turn off.

4. If all functions operate correctly, proceed with pole installation.

This test simulates the transition between daylight and darkness and verifies the basic light-control response.

Step 4: Install the Light Pole

Once the electrical system has passed the initial test, the pole can be installed.

1. Prepare the Foundation

Embed the required anchor components while pouring the concrete foundation for the street light.

2. Allow the Foundation to Cure

The video recommends allowing the concrete to cure until fully set, typically 3–7 days.

Actual curing time should follow the concrete design, site conditions and project engineering requirements.

3. Install the Pole

After the foundation has reached the required condition, align and secure the light pole to the foundation.

Pole height, spacing and foundation design should be coordinated with the project layout. For road projects, see Inbrit’s solar roadway lighting solutions.

Step 5: Final Inspection and Scenario Simulation

After installation, complete a final inspection and verify the expected lighting effect.

The video demonstrates several application simulations, including:

• Road lighting

• Farm lighting

• Parking lot lighting

These simulations illustrate how all-in-two solar street lights can be applied in different outdoor environments.

Street Lighting Effect

The video also presents a night-time street lighting simulation showing the illuminated roadway and surrounding pedestrian areas.

Farm and Parking Lot Lighting

All-in-two solar street lights can also be considered for open outdoor environments such as farms and parking areas where grid-independent lighting is required.

All-in-Two Solar Street Light Installation Checklist

Before completing the installation, verify the following:

• Solar panel bracket securely installed

• Anti-corrosion washers installed where specified

• Solar panel orientation confirmed

• Solar panel cable routed through the pole

• Bracket arm securely mounted

• LED luminaire securely installed

• Waterproof electrical connector tightened

• Wiring tested before pole installation

• Day/night light-control function verified

• Foundation cured sufficiently

• Pole securely installed

• Final lighting operation checked

This checklist can help contractors and installers maintain a consistent installation process across multiple lighting points.

What Makes All-in-Two Solar Street Lights Different?

An all-in-two system separates the solar panel from the LED luminaire while keeping the remaining system relatively compact.

This design can provide more flexibility in solar-panel orientation than a fully integrated all-in-one system, while retaining a simpler structure than some fully split systems.

That makes the format suitable for projects where installers need:

• flexible panel positioning;

• simplified maintenance;

• modular component replacement;

• easier retrofit possibilities.

The mounting structure is designed to support a wide range of all-in-two solar street light configurations and can also be considered for retrofit projects, subject to dimensional compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions About All-in-Two Solar Street Light Installation

What is an all-in-two solar street light?

An all-in-two solar street light typically separates the solar panel from the LED luminaire, allowing the panel to be positioned independently while maintaining a relatively simple system structure.

Which direction should the solar panel face?

The installation video recommends south-facing orientation in the Northern Hemisphere and north-facing orientation in the Southern Hemisphere. Actual orientation should be adjusted according to local site conditions.

Should the system be tested before installing the pole?

Yes. Inbrit’s installation process demonstrates testing the solar panel, LED luminaire and light-control function before the pole is permanently installed.

How can the day/night control function be tested?

After connecting the system, cover the solar panel to simulate darkness. The LED should turn on. When the panel is uncovered and receives sufficient light, the LED should turn off.

How long should the concrete foundation cure?

The video uses 3–7 days as a typical reference. Actual curing time should follow the applicable concrete specification and site conditions.

Where can all-in-two solar street lights be used?

They can be considered for roadways, parking areas, farms, communities, parks and other outdoor areas where solar-powered lighting is suitable.

Planning an All-in-Two Solar Street Light Project?

Installation is only one part of a successful solar lighting project.

The LED power, solar panel size, pole height, battery configuration and operating schedule should all be matched to the site requirements.
