Nigeria Highway Solar Street Lighting Project with ST2-160 Solar Street Lights
Project at a Glance
Key Project Details
Applied Products
ST2-160 Solar Street Light / Solar Star Light II Series
Project Overview
RoadSmart supplied ST2-160 solar street lights for a highway lighting project in Nigeria. The installation used 12-meter poles and required an independent lighting system for road sections where conventional grid connection was not the most practical option.
The project focused on road visibility, durable outdoor operation, and a configuration suitable for highway applications.
| Country | Nigeria |
|---|---|
| Road Type | Highway / transportation road lighting |
| Installation Height | 12 meters |
| Project Support | Product selection, lighting configuration reference, installation guidance, and project communication support. |
Why ST2-160 Was Selected
For this Nigeria highway project, product selection focused on higher mounting height, off-grid deployment, outdoor durability, and practical support for project contractors or buyers.
| Project Requirement | RoadSmart Response |
|---|---|
| 12-meter pole height | ST2-160 was matched to a higher mounting application where stronger output and suitable road lighting distribution are required. |
| Long road sections | The off-grid solar design helps reduce dependence on long-distance cabling and utility power connection. |
| Outdoor exposure | The configuration supports continuous outdoor operation under heat, dust, rain, wind, and changing road conditions. |
| Project uncertainty | RoadSmart can adjust recommendations according to road width, pole spacing, working hours, backup days, and local sunlight. |
Project Challenge
Long Road Sections
Highway projects require lighting over extended distances, making cable routing, installation coordination, and later maintenance more complex.
Higher Mounting Height
The 12-meter pole height required a light with suitable output, optical distribution, and stable mounting for road visibility.
Outdoor Exposure
The system needed to withstand heat, dust, rain, wind, and continuous outdoor operation.
Maintenance Access
Roadside maintenance can be costly, so component reliability and practical service access were important selection factors.
Solution
1. ST2-160 Road Lighting Configuration
RoadSmart matched the ST2-160 model to the highway application, combining solar charging, LED lighting, battery storage, and intelligent control in one off-grid lighting system.
2. Configuration Based on Site Conditions
The lighting recommendation considered pole height, road use, expected working hours, and local environmental conditions.
3. Easier Deployment for Road Projects
The solar-powered design helps reduce dependence on long-distance cabling and supports faster deployment in road sections where grid access is limited.
4. Manufacturer Project Support
RoadSmart can support contractors, EPC companies, distributors, and government project buyers with model selection, lighting layout reference, battery capacity matching, and installation guidance.

- Provided a reference case for similar highway, arterial road, and transportation lighting projects in Africa.
Lessons Learned & Best Practices
Confirm Road Data Before Configuration
Road width, lane count, pole height, pole spacing, and lighting hours directly affect product selection and battery capacity.
Match the Solar System to Local Sunlight
Solar panel and battery configuration should be based on local sunshine conditions and required rainy-day backup.
Use Project Photos and Drawings
Site photos, road drawings, and installation standards help the manufacturer recommend a more accurate lighting solution.
Plan Maintenance Access Early
For highway projects, easy maintenance planning helps reduce later service cost and improves long-term project stability.

FAQs
Can ST2-160 solar street lights be used for highway projects?
Yes. ST2-160 can be used for highway lighting when the configuration is matched to road width, pole spacing, local sunlight, and lighting hours.
What information is needed before quotation?
Please provide project country, road width, pole height, pole spacing, lighting hours, backup days, and available road photos or drawings.
Can RoadSmart support lighting simulation?
RoadSmart can provide lighting configuration guidance and simulation reference when sufficient road and pole data is available.
Is solar street lighting suitable for remote highways?
Yes. It is often suitable for remote roads and developing areas where grid connection is expensive or difficult.
