Project Background:
Located in a large industrial park in Kenya, the company primarily engages in logistics and warehousing operations, covering 180,000 square meters, including 50 kilometers of internal roads, 3 large parking lots, and 10 warehouses. The industrial park's original grid-connected lighting system was costly in electricity and prone to malfunctions, impacting the normal operation of the logistics area at night.
Therefore, to reduce operating costs and improve nighttime operational safety, the industrial park decided to replace the existing lighting system with solar streetlights and contacted our company through our independent website. The client had high requirements for the quality, intelligent functions, and after-sales service of the solar streetlights.
Project Requirements:
1. Solar Smart Functions Required: The solar streetlights need to support remote control, brightness adjustment, and fault alarm functions, allowing industrial park managers to remotely manage the solar streetlights via mobile phone or computer. Our products are fully equipped with intelligent functions, all being solar streetlights that can be remotely controlled via a mobile app. Based on customer needs, we have also specifically installed security systems, allowing for real-time monitoring in case of theft and daily alarm detection.
2. Brightness Requirements: Industrial park roads are 8-10 meters wide, and parking lots and warehouses require high brightness (50-100W) to ensure safe loading and unloading and vehicle passage at night.
3. Durability: Local winters often involve strong winds and occasional snowfall, requiring solar streetlights to have strong wind resistance and low-temperature resistance.
4. After-sales Service: Customers require a 2-year warranty, and we can provide consistent after-sales service guarantees.
Intelligent System Compatibility:
The industrial park already has an intelligent management system. The intelligent functions of the solar streetlights need to be compatible with the existing system to ensure unified management.
Brightness and Power Matching:
High brightness requires high power from the solar streetlights, but energy saving and battery life must be balanced to avoid insufficient power supply.
Environmental Adaptability:
The local wind is strong (maximum wind speed up to level 12), and winter temperatures are low (minimum temperature down to -5℃). This requires the solar streetlight poles to have strong wind resistance, and the batteries to have good low-temperature performance.
After-Sales Service Guarantee:
We need to establish a local after-sales service network in the customer's area to ensure timely on-site maintenance.
Our Solution:
1. Customized Intelligent System:
We have developed a customized intelligent control system for the solar streetlights, which is compatible with the industrial park's existing intelligent management system. The solar streetlights support remote switching, brightness adjustment (0-100% stepless dimming), fault alarms (automatically sending alarm information to management personnel's mobile phones in case of a fault), and power monitoring functions. 1. **Management:** Managers can monitor the operational status of each solar street light in real time, significantly improving management efficiency.
2. Power and Brightness Configuration:
We recommend 80W solar street lights for internal roads, 60W for parking lots, and 50W for warehouse areas. All solar street lights are equipped with 200Ah high-capacity lithium batteries and 200W high-efficiency solar panels, ensuring 10 hours of illumination per night and continuous operation for 6 days on cloudy or rainy days. The LED light source uses high-brightness chips with a color temperature of 5000K, providing bright and soft light to meet the high brightness requirements of industrial parks.
3. Enhanced Environmental Adaptability:** The solar street light poles are made of thickened hot-dip galvanized steel, with a wind resistance rating of up to level 12, capable of withstanding strong winds. The lithium batteries are equipped with low-temperature protection, allowing normal operation at -20℃, adapting to local winter climates. The product comes with a 3-year warranty; in case of malfunction, maintenance personnel will arrive on-site within 48 hours to resolve the issue. Furthermore, we provide on-site training for industrial park managers, instructing them on how to use the intelligent control system and perform simple maintenance.
Final Customer Results and Feedback:
1. Improved Operational Efficiency: Smart solar streetlights significantly improved the management efficiency of the industrial park. Managers could remotely manage 500 solar streetlights, reducing the workload of manual inspections. Fault alarm functions ensured timely handling of malfunctions, minimizing their impact on logistics operations.
2. Cost Savings: Solar streetlights replaced the original grid-connected streetlights, saving the industrial park 75% of annual electricity costs (approximately US$160,000) and 60% of maintenance costs. The solar streetlights have a lifespan of 6-10 years, reducing the cost of frequent replacements of lighting equipment.
3. Enhanced Safety: High-brightness solar streetlights ensured the safety of nighttime loading and unloading of goods and vehicle traffic in the industrial park. The nighttime accident rate decreased by 60%, effectively protecting the safety of employees and goods.
4. Brand Promotion: This project has become a model case for solar lighting in North American industrial parks, enhancing our brand influence in the North American market. Many local industrial parks contacted us to inquire about solar streetlight solutions, bringing us more business opportunities.
Customer feedback: "The smart solar streetlights provided by your company are very practical. They not only save us a lot of electricity costs but also improve management efficiency. The product quality is excellent and very suitable for our local climate. The after-sales service is timely and professional, resolving all our concerns. We are very satisfied with this cooperation and will continue to choose your company's products in the future."
