When installing solar street lights in coastal areas, wind resistance is a core consideration, which needs to be optimized in combination with material strength, structural design and installation methods. The following are some suggestions for improving the wind resistance of coastal street lights:

1. Prefer high wind resistance materials

The material of the solar street light pole directly affects its durability and wind resistance. Commonly used materials include steel and aluminum, which show good wind resistance in strong wind environments. High wind pressure resistance level, Q235 material can withstand typhoons above level 12, and Q355 material can also withstand typhoons above level 16).

The main material of solar street lights is aluminum. Solway solar street lights combine 6063 profile aluminum and ADC12 die-cast aluminum, which are produced with sufficient materials. This can be judged from the size and weight of the lamp. Not only does it have excellent wind resistance, but it also has anti-rust and anti-corrosion properties.

Solway has passed the wind tunnel test of 60m/s wind resistance in the first generation of solar street lights. If you need to view details, please contact sales to view the test report issued by a third party. In addition, all Solway solar street lights are designed and produced in accordance with this standard!

2. Key points of wind-resistant structural design of street lights

The design of the light pole needs to consider wind pressure and wind speed. According to relevant standards, the wind resistance of the light pole should be able to withstand a wind speed of at least 40 meters per second. The depth of the embedded bolts of the street light pole is ≥ 1/10 of the height of the light pole (such as 8-meter pole buried depth 0.8m), the thickness of the flange is ≥ 20mm, and the design appearance should also consider the installation method, double fixation. In some extreme climate environments, the light pole may need to be designed to withstand higher wind speeds.

3. Environmental adaptability treatment (anti-corrosion reinforcement)

Due to the high humidity and salinity of the coastal environment, the light pole material needs to be hot-dip galvanized for anti-corrosion treatment to extend its service life and maintain structural integrity.

4. Optimization of the height and installation position of solar street lights

The height and installation position of solar street lights should be reasonably selected according to the local wind speed and terrain. A lower height can effectively reduce the force of wind on the light pole. If necessary, CFD simulation or actual wind tunnel testing of the light pole prototype should be carried out to optimize the shape of the pole. Regular maintenance: Check bolt tightness and anti-corrosion coating status every 2 years in coastal areas.
