Solar Street Light with Danish Solar Energy lamp is an ideal lighting system for the
illumination of streets. Our street light are designed to operate in all weather condi-
tions, and are complete maintenance free for many years. We design the system after
location and consumption of energy.

HEM Solar Street Lights are designed to turn on automatically just after dusk and turn
off automatically at dawn. The controller unit manages the electricity flow by optimiz-
ing the energy stored in the battery and guaranteeing a minimum standard of 6 hours
lighting. The Solar Street Lights is the result of 15 of years experience in solar photo-
voltaic systems integration. The charge controller ensures that the lamp functions all
night during high insulation months as low insulation months, thus allowing the lamp
to function all night.

This advanced technology improves the performance of the solar street light guaran-

Solar Street Light with Danish Solar Energy lamp is

an ideal lighting system for the illumination of streets

Economic considerations and features

The installation of a traditional street light, whenever the central power grid is not available in the vicinity,
implies high investment costs due to installation of cables, excavations, repaving of road asphalt, etc. The
installation of HEM solar street lights on the contrary is free of these problems, because it has independent
energy source and the installation is very simple and easy. Moreover, the HEM solar street light is autono-
mous, ecological, and without operations and maintenance costs, with the only exception of the light bulb
which needs to be replaced every 8000 hours. The reliability of this stand alone system is very high as the
electricity supply is not subject to interruptions as grid powered street lights are. Furthermore, our Solar
Street Light technical design and layout make this street light safe from thieves, and from heavy conditions
such as strong winds.

HEM Solar Street lights all consist of:

Solar Module(s)
Sealed batteries
Cable kit
Top pole mounting structure with box for battery and electronics
Lamp and Lamp holder
SOX
Lamp bracket with coupler

Option
Mast: Tapered pole high 7,8m, (7meters over ground) diameter bottom: 168mm and diameter on top: 102mm – thick-
ness 4mm.

Technical information for main components

• The Solar Module is Scandinavian manufactured with high efficiency solar cells assembled and laminated at high
temperature on a toughened and tempered glass with high transparency. The module typically has a lifespan of over 30-
50 years.

• The Regulator is a battery charge regulator with a microprocessor that gives optimal functioning of the street light.
-. Battery charge control with various charge regimes (cyclical, buffer and equalizing charge) in order to guarantee the
maximum production and most efficient storage of energy from the solar module.
-. Discharge control ensures optimum performance of the battery, switch off of the lamp if the battery reach a state 75%
discharge.
-. Light sensor for the automatic switch on and off the lamps after sunset and automatic switch off at sunrise.
-. "PLUS" function which serves as an automatic increase of lighting time of the lamp in accordance with the amount of
energy that the battery has stored. This very important function allows adaptation of the period of lighting, dependent
on the actual amount of energy captured by the solar module and stored in the battery during the day. After the standard
minimum period of 6 hours programmed, the microprocessor will verify the actual state of charge of the battery and,
should it still have energy, it will keep the lamp on for the rest of the night.
-. The regulator has a maximum capacity of 10 Amperes and is equipped with a fuse to protect it from short circuit. It is
designed to perform at extreme temperature and humidity conditions and includes a temperature compensation device.
It has signals for state of battery charge and eventual fails of the system, and ensures the optimal battery lifetime under
all environmental and operational conditions.

• The DC/AC ballast serves the SOX lamp, transforming an input current at 12 Volts DC into an AC output of stabi-
lized current at high frequency, suitable to power a large light bulb and typically able to guarantee a durability of over
8000 hours. This ballast can be positioned inside the lamp casing.

•The lamp is made of SOX 18W, 36W or 55W bulb, with a luminous flow of 1800 lumens, 5200 lumens and 8100
lumens. Typically the lamp is installed at about 6 meters from ground and its light generates a 18-20 meter diameter
cone of light.
