How High Should You Mount a Solar Street Light?
A solar street light mounted too low lights a small patch and is easy to steal. Too high and the light is wasted. Here is how to choose.
Why height matters
Higher mounting spreads light wider and keeps the unit out of reach. But brightness at the ground falls with height, so you balance coverage and brightness.
Typical heights
- Gate or small yard: just above wall height, out of reach
- Compound or estate lane: a medium pole
- Parking lots and roads: taller poles for wider coverage
- llow the guidance for your light size and ask the seller.

Panel and shade
Make sure the panel sits above any shade from walls and trees. A few extra feet can mean a full charge.
Security
Keep the unit above reach and fix it with bolts that are hard to loosen.
