LD 80W Solar Street Light in Bangladesh Project Summary
Date: March, 2024
Type: Off-grid town street lighting solar street light
Location: Bangladesh
Product: CCLAMP 80W All-in-One Solar Street Light installed at 7m Pole Height
This project deployed CCLAMP LD 80W integrated solar streetlights in urban streets of Bangladesh. The solution was tailored to Bangladesh’s tropical monsoon climate (heavy rain, high humidity, frequent flooding) and weak infrastructure (severe power outages, insufficient building resources), emphasizing cost-effectiveness, rapid installation, and climate adaptability. This helped contractors overcome local challenges and complete projects on time and within budget.
Customer Challenges
– Tropical monsoon climate: Annual rainfall of 1429-4338 mm, humidity of 60%-98%, frequent floods and smog, thus requiring products with excellent waterproof, moisture-proof, and corrosion-resistant properties.
– Extremely unstable power supply: An average of 26 power outages per month, and 4-6 power outages per day in suburban/rural areas, making continuous lighting impossible.
– Tight budget: Due to subcontracting, the budget is tight, requiring products that balance performance and total cost (procurement, installation, and maintenance) for optimal value.
– Unique geographical environment with a long rainy season, requiring adaptability to rainy weather.
CCLAMP All in One Solar Street Light Solution
CCLAMP tailored an LD 80W solution for Bangladesh, addressing key challenges (harsh weather, unstable power grid, and construction difficulties) while ensuring cost control and efficient delivery.
Key Advantages:
– IP67 waterproof + corrosion-resistant coating, built-in moisture protection, adaptable to harsh weather conditions such as monsoons, floods, and coastal salt spray.
– 80W LED + 7-meter pole: Provides uniform illumination of ≥30 lux for rural roads, glare-free design, suitable for frequent foggy weather.
– High-temperature/high-humidity resistant lithium battery (-10℃ to 60℃), large-capacity storage + intelligent controller, continuous lighting for 7-10 days in rain and fog, adaptable to seasonal uneven sunlight.
– 22.5% efficiency monocrystalline silicon solar panels, utilizing 4.5-5.0 hours of peak sunlight per day for rapid charging, reducing the impact of insufficient sunlight during monsoon seasons.
– Integrated design: No complex wiring required, shortening construction time and reducing labor costs.
– Cost-effective: Standardized configuration reduces procurement costs. ≥5-year lifespan and low failure rate reduce long-term maintenance costs.
Project Results and Actual Impact
– Resolved frequent power outages, provided stable nighttime lighting for the town’s streets, improved nighttime safety, and reduced the probability of nighttime accidents.
– Waterproof, moisture-proof, and corrosion-resistant, and passed monsoon, flood, and salt spray tests.
– Completely eliminated dependence on the power grid.
– Reduced total costs by 18%, alleviating budgetary pressures on contractors due to subcontracting.
FAQ
– Q1: Can the LD 80W withstand the monsoon/flood environment of Bangladesh?
A: Yes, its IP67 waterproof rating, anti-corrosion coating, and moisture protection ensure stable operation in heavy rain, floods, and high humidity environments.
– Q2: Can it guarantee continuous lighting during power outages?
A: Yes, its off-grid design, equipped with a large-capacity energy storage system, provides continuous lighting for 7-10 days in rainy and foggy weather, unaffected by grid instability.
– Q3: Is it suitable for rapid installation before the monsoon season?
A: Yes, its integrated design allows two workers to install 3-4 sets per day, ensuring on-time delivery.
– Q4: Why install streetlights on 6-meter-high poles?
A: 6 meters is a common installation standard for community roads and sidewalks, facilitating uniform deployment and simplifying project management.
