Solar and Hybrid LED Lighting for Outdoor Advertising

Solar and hybrid LED lighting is a modern system designed for illuminating billboards, banners, information boards, pylons, and large-format advertising structures in locations without access to the power grid. By combining photovoltaic panels, an optional wind turbine, and an energy storage system, the installation operates fully autonomously and provides illumination throughout the night, even under challenging weather conditions.

How does the solar hybrid lighting system work?

The system consists of PV modules and, optionally, a wind turbine that generate electrical energy. This energy is stored in high-capacity batteries. After dusk, a dusk sensor activates the energy-efficient LED luminaires, while the MPPT charge controller manages runtime, output power, and protects the batteries from overcharging and deep discharge.

The hybrid system outperforms standard solar setups because it draws power from two independent energy sources. During extended periods of low sunlight, wind energy compensates for the deficit. This enables stable and year-round operation, which cannot be achieved by PV-only systems.

What does the solar hybrid lighting kit include?

• Photovoltaic modules as the primary power source
• Wind turbine (optional) as an additional energy source during low solar irradiation
• Batteries – GEL / AGM / LiFePO4, resistant to deep discharge
• MPPT charge controller or hybrid controller
• LED floodlights with high output, low power consumption, and wide beam angles
• Dusk sensor for automatic activation at nightfall
• Battery enclosure – sealed, moisture and frost resistant, anti-theft design
• Mounting system (optional) – brackets, stands, ground structures

Advantages of solar and hybrid LED lighting

• Complete independence from the power grid – no electricity bills
• Autonomous operation – from 40 hours to several days without sunlight
• Low installation cost – no trenching, no grid connection, no permits
• High durability – enclosures with minimum IP65 protection rating
• Easy installation – preconfigured kits ready to operate immediately
• Adjustable light output and operating time
• Environmentally friendly – uses renewable energy
• Year-round stability in the hybrid version (PV plus wind)

Materials and construction

• PV panels with tempered glass featuring high light transmittance
• LED floodlights made of aluminum and UV-resistant materials
• Luminaires with IP65 / IP66 protection class
• Battery enclosures made of plastic or metal with anti-corrosion protection
• Mounting structures made of hot-dip galvanized steel
• Batteries housed in insulated compartments for thermal protection

Applications of solar hybrid lighting

• Billboards and large-format advertising structures
• Banners and advertising boards
• Container-mounted ads and mobile signage
• Pylons, lightboxes, and mast structures
• Information and directional signage
• Advertisements along highways and express roads
• Advertising installations in forested, mountainous, or remote areas

Operating modes and control options

• Automatic dusk-to-dawn mode
• Adjustable LED output power
• Programmable operating schedule (e.g., 100 percent output for 3 hours, then 50 percent)
• IR remote or Bluetooth control (optional)

Solar hybrid lighting is an effective, economical, and fully independent solution providing visibility for all types of outdoor advertising, from small-format signs to large billboards and mast-mounted structures. It is ideal for locations where connecting to the electrical grid is difficult, costly, or impossible.
