Solar Street Lights
in 2008 Leadsun launched the world’s first all-in-one solar street light. We’ve been proudly lighting the way ever since with the most dependable, advanced, SMART solar street lights in Australia. Reducing trauma and saving lives, our street lights are suitable for a wide range of commercial applications including residential streets, holiday and caravan parks and retirement villages.
What is a Solar Street Light?
Street lights powered by the sun
Just like conventional grid-powered street lights, solar street lights increase safety, security, accessibility and visibility on residential streets at night. However, unlike grid-powered street lights, solar street lighting is powered by the sun. During the day, a solar panel charges a Lithium-ion battery which powers a bright LED light at night.
A brighter future for all
A solar street light is just as bright as a conventional, grid-powered street light and is required to comply with the same rigorous standards. However, solar street lighting costs less to install with no on-going electricity costs and no CO2 emissions.
Quick and easy
to install
Leadsun solar street lighting can be installed in as little as 45 minutes. No trenching, cabling or concreting is needed, meaning less disruption for road users.
Cost-effective street lighting
Quick installation, minimal maintenance and no electricity bills means our street lights are the cost-effective and convenient lighting solution.
Sustainable Street
Lighting
Our street lights capture and store energy free from the sun during the day and use it to power bright, zero emissions, LED light at night.
Adaptable solar street lighting
Our solar street light systems generate their own power. This makes them ideal for remote locations and busy streets where grid power is hard to access.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
As a guide, we can fully supply and install three compliant grid-free solar lighting systems in a residential street for about $15,000. Costs will vary however depending on application, installation size, access (including traffic management if required) and design.
Solar powered street lights are a more affordable option compared to electricity grid-connected lighting with lower upfront & life-cycle costs.
Installation costs vary depending on application, installation size, access and design. As a general rule though, installation costs for a solar streetlight are around a quarter of that for a similar grid-powered lighting system.
No electrical connections or underground cabling is required for Leadsun solar lights. This means they can be fully installed in about 20% of the usual time required for a conventional grid-powered system. This means less cost to you and reduced disruption for car park patrons.
Solar, LED and LiFePO4 battery technology have come a long way in recent years. Our SMART solar LED lighting and patented battery technology is very mature technology and will match or outperform any other lighting solution on the market.
In Australia and New Zealand, all street lights including solar street lights must comply with Australian and New Zealand Lighting Standards. We provide a complete, fully engineered solution ensuring compliance with AS/NZS 1158.3.1:2020. All of our systems are designed to ensure at least 3 nights’ lighting will be maintained, even on cloudy days without needing any power from the electricity grid.
SMART solar LED street lights are robust, reliable mature technology, tried, tested on many thousands of installations over 15 plus years. They are economical when compared with grid-connect streetlights, easier to install, sustainable with zero emissions from their operation, have no energy costs, are maintenance-free, Dark-sky compliant, and have optional wireless monitoring and control.
Our SMART solar LED street lights require minimal maintenance. The photovoltaic solar panels do not require washing or dusting and our systems can be monitored remotely with wireless SMART technology.
If servicing is required, our optional lowerable pole technology makes access easy with no cranes or special equipment needed.
Normally, a Lithium-ion battery will last between five to eight years. However, with Leadsun’s patented, advanced battery technology we guarantee a battery will have at least 80% of its rated capacity at the end of 10 years. In practice, actual battery life can extend well beyond this with typical battery life being around 15 years.
