All-in-One vs Split Type Solar Street Lights

The Two Configurations

An all-in-one solar street light integrates the light, the battery and the panel into a single body. A split type keeps the panel separate from the luminaire, connected by cable. Both are LED solar street lights charging from the sun and running from stored energy, and the difference shows up in installation and in how the site treats the panel.

Where All-in-One Wins

The integrated design installs quickly and stays compact and sleek on the pole. It is the usual choice for urban streets, residential areas and parks, particularly when the crew has a short installation window and the site has open sky. In our range the ZYS-T series and the KODA and CK models are the integrated units.

Where Split Type Wins

Separating the panel gives better heat management and lets the panel size be customised to the battery and the site. It is the usual choice for industrial zones, large scale installations and custom projects. In our range the ZYS-G series carries the separately mounted panel.

Shading Decides More Projects Than Output Does

On logistics yards, industrial parks and tree lined streets, the best position for the luminaire and the best position for the panel are often not the same. A split type lets the panel sit clear of the shadow while the light stays over the area that needs lighting. That single constraint moves more projects to split type than any difference in output.

Mixing Both in One Project

Most real projects are mixed. Open positions take all-in-one units for speed, shaded or awkward positions take split type. Keeping both from one manufacturer means one spares list and one warranty contact rather than two.

How to Decide for Your Site

Mark the shaded areas on your site plan, note the installation window and the mounting height, and send both. We will say which positions should be integrated and which should be split, and issue a datasheet for the models we recommend.
