A solar street light does the job of a mains-powered pole light, LED head, ballast, wiring and a run back to a transformer, without any of the cabling. All-in-one units carry the panel, battery, controller and LED in a single fixture at the top of the pole; semi-integrated units separate the panel and battery box for taller poles or higher-output installations. Either way, the pole draws no power from the grid at all.
Because it is off-grid, a solar street light keeps working through power cuts, which matters on roads and yards that would otherwise go dark the moment the supply fails. Motion-sensing versions dim to a low standby glow when nothing is moving and brighten when they detect movement, which stretches battery life on cloudy runs without leaving an area unlit.
We fit these for gram panchayats, housing colonies, factory perimeters, warehouse yards, farm approach roads and school campuses across Madhya Pradesh. Pole height, spacing and panel wattage all depend on the road width and the light levels required, so we survey the route before sizing anything, then handle installation and ongoing servicing ourselves.
Who it's for
What you get
Zero electricity bill
Runs entirely on its own panel and battery, with no mains connection and no monthly charge.
Works through power cuts
Because it never draws from the grid, an outage on the mains supply has no effect on it.
Motion-sensing dimming
PIR-equipped units dim to standby when the road is empty and brighten on movement, extending autonomy on overcast days.
Dusk to dawn operation
Switches on automatically at sunset and off at sunrise, every night, without a timer.
IP66-rated for outdoor duty
Sealed against dust and heavy rain, built to run unattended through the Madhya Pradesh monsoon.
All-in-one or split panel and battery
All-in-one heads suit standard poles; split units separate the panel and battery box for taller or higher-output installations.
Typical specifications
Typical ranges, indicative only. Exact configuration is finalised after a site survey.
MNRE street lighting programmes
Public-space installations for gram panchayats and similar bodies may be eligible for MNRE-linked rural lighting programmes, including a RESCO route where a service provider installs at zero upfront cost and the panchayat pays through an agreed service arrangement instead. Eligibility, terms and available allocation vary by scheme and district, so this is confirmed case by case, not guaranteed. We can check what currently applies and help with the paperwork.
How it happens
Survey
We visit your site, check sunlight, access and load, and confirm what actually fits.
Design
You get a sizing and quote in writing, with the configuration explained in plain language.
Install
Our own team installs and commissions it, so there is no handoff to a third-party contractor.
Service
We stay on for maintenance and support, with spares and help available locally.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a solar street light work without sun?
Most units carry enough battery for 3 to 5 days of typical use even without a full charge in between, though this depends on the specific battery capacity and how many hours it runs each night. In practice, a few cloudy days in a row rarely causes a blackout.
Do solar street lights work during a power cut?
Yes. Since they never draw from the grid in the first place, a mains power cut has no effect on them at all.
What is the difference between all-in-one and semi-integrated street lights?
All-in-one units carry the panel, battery and LED in a single head at the top of the pole, simple to install and good for standard roads. Semi-integrated units separate the panel and battery into their own housing, which suits taller poles or higher-wattage lights where a single compact head is not practical.
Can a gram panchayat get these installed without paying upfront?
In some cases, yes, through MNRE-linked programmes that use a RESCO model, where a provider installs and maintains the lights and the panchayat pays over time instead of purchasing outright. Availability depends on the scheme and district allocation at the time, so we check current eligibility before proposing a route.
How many street lights can one project cover?
From a handful of poles on a colony road to a full panchayat lighting programme. We size the panel and battery to the pole spacing and light levels needed, and quote per pole so the numbers scale with the project.

Solar Garden Light
A self-contained lantern light for driveways, gardens and walkways, wired to nothing but its own panel. It charges through the day and switches on automatically at dusk, with no trenching and no electrician’s bill.

Solar Water Heater
An evacuated-tube solar water heater that collects heat through the day and stores it in an insulated tank, so hot water is ready by evening without switching anything on. It cuts the electricity bill hardest in winter, exactly when a geyser runs longest.

Solar Water Pump
A submersible or surface solar pump that draws directly from your panel array, so borewell irrigation, drip and sprinkler systems and farm water supply run without diesel fuel or a dependence on grid power. PM-KUSUM support can bring the upfront cost down meaningfully for eligible farmers.
