Solar Street Light RFQ Checklist: Compare Quotes for the Same Project

A useful solar street light quotation starts with a clear project brief. Two lights advertised with the same LED wattage may use different panels, batteries, controllers and poles. Specify the lighting task and installation conditions before comparing price.

1. Define the site and lighting requirement

Include the installation country and city, road width, road length, pole spacing, mounting height and proposed number of lights. Mark trees, buildings and other sources of shade on the layout. State the lighting requirement or provide the design brief so that a supplier can check the proposed arrangement.

2. Set the operating schedule

Explain when full output is needed, whether dimming is acceptable later at night and whether motion or remote control is required. Specify the backup operation you want during low-sunlight weather. Ask the supplier to state the assumptions behind its panel and battery selection rather than comparing battery amp-hours alone.

3. Ask every supplier for the same configuration details

4. Compare total project scope

Separate the luminaire, pole, foundation, transport and installation costs. Check whether the quote includes commissioning, spare parts and documentation. A low unit price is difficult to evaluate when one offer excludes items included in another.

5. Review the sample and acceptance documents

Before a bulk order, agree which sample configuration represents the supplied product. Request applicable test reports and installation instructions for that configuration. Check that the model identifiers match the quotation and define the documents required at delivery.

Frequently asked questions

Is LED wattage enough to compare two solar street lights?

No. Compare the lighting distribution, panel, usable battery energy, controller schedule and mounting layout together.

Can the same configuration be used in every country?

Local sunlight, temperature, shading and lighting requirements differ. The supplier should check the configuration for the installation location.
