    In Africa, home to 15 percent of the world's population, about 90 percent of the rural population has no electricity, and many city streets are unlit. Therefore, the level of lighting industry in Africa is low and there is a considerable market gap. In recent years, Africa has been working to develop sustainable lighting solutions that effectively address electricity consumption, such as the UN-led Lighting Africa Charity and Development Program: We provide energy-saving LED lighting to African users. With the rapid development of modern cities in Africa, diversified LED lighting markets in markets, stations, shopping malls, and other places are constantly driving up the demand for LED lighting year by year.


    Solar Street Light Projects


    Solar street lamps have developed rapidly in recent years, with the advantages of energy saving, environmental protection, zero electricity, easy installation and so on, quickly into the public's vision. Solar street lamps entered the African market and quickly won the favor of African users.


    In many parts of Africa, sunshine resources are abundant, but the electricity supply is seriously insufficient, so electricity is very tight in Africa. However, solar energy can help Africa solve the problem of insufficient electricity supply.


    We all know that solar street lamps use bulk solar panels to absorb solar radiation and store it in batteries to generate electricity. There is enough solar radiation in Africa, so it is basically no problem to keep the light on for a long time. And because of the low rainfall in Africa, solar-powered street lamps can be lit year-round.


    Kenya as an important trade center in Africa, and its economy is developing fast, meanwhile, the government promised that by 2025, the power to cover 70% of the population, such as infrastructure, also further promote Kenya's economic zone, industrial park, commercial and residential building and the construction of tourist resort is booming, Kenya is expected to become one of the global markets with great development potential for basic lighting and municipal lighting.


    In addition, with more affordable solar street light wholesale, batteries and panels, and innovative business plans, millions of households in Africa and elsewhere will be able to switch from kerosene and incandescent bulbs to more technologically advanced lighting fixtures.


    Nowadays, solar-powered street lamps are becoming more and more popular in Africa. This kind of outdoor light is very feasible in sunny countries, which can improve the living standard of local people, and can be used in remote areas.

    What solar applications use Anern energy storage systems?

    Anern's energy storage systems are used in the following solar applications:


    Residential Backup Power: 

    For home use during power outages, providing up to 6 hours of continuous power for average household consumption. These systems reduce grid reliance and electricity bills while storing excess solar energy.


    Commercial and Industrial Energy Management: 

    Installed in factories and businesses to store excess solar energy, reduce peak-hour grid consumption, and lower electricity costs. Systems are deployed in secure, ventilated locations for stability.


    Off-Grid Infrastructure: 

    Supports meteorological/hydrological observation equipment and other critical infrastructure in remote areas without grid coverage. Battery banks store solar energy converted via inverters for reliable operation.


    Agricultural Operations: 

    Powers farms by converting stored solar energy into AC electricity, maintaining agricultural activities during outages or grid instability.


    Large-Scale Solar Projects: 

    Used in independent photovoltaic power stations ranging from 10KW to 50MW capacity, enabled by parallel-connected hybrid inverters for solar energy conversion and storage.

    What type of lamp is used in street lights?

    We use SMD5730, EPISTAR and LG 3030 LED chips, with high light efficiency, low power consumption, wide luminous Angle and other characteristics.

    What payment methods do you accept?

    For samples, full by T/T in advance;  for bulk order, 30% deposit by TT in advance, balance by TT before shipment. The L/C is acceptable for big order. It can be negotiable.
