Solar Tower Lights Installation Requirements

Solar tower lights (also known as aviation obstruction lights) are safety warning lighting devices designed for high-rise buildings and towers. They usually use LED light sources and are divided into two types: mains-powered and solar-powered.

With the development of green energy technology, solar lights for tower have been widely used in the field of aviation safety due to their environmental protection, energy saving, and convenient installation.

Installation Requirements for Solar Tower Lights

• 1. Legal basis

According to the “Civil Airport Management Regulations” and relevant aviation safety regulations:

Tall buildings (height ≥ 45 meters) outside the clear air protection zone of civil airports that may affect flight safety

Artificial/natural obstacles that affect aviation safety around airways and flight areas

High-rise buildings with apron areas in cities

Other high-rise facilities on the ground that may endanger flight safety

All must be equipped with solar / LED aviation obstruction lights and identification systems in accordance with regulations.

• 2. Installation location requirements

The highest point of the building / tower and the location of sudden height changes

Special structures such as chimneys need to install AC backup lamps on the shaded side

Solar panels must ensure that they are unobstructed throughout the year (it is recommended to install them facing south, and the inclination angle is adjusted according to the latitude)

Technical Requirements for Solar Obstruction Warning Lights

Pre-installation inspection

• Ground test: verify the light control system and flash frequency of the solar tower lights (standard 20 ~ 60 times/minute, customizable)
• Component inspection: confirm that the solar panels, batteries, and controllers are intact as a set
• Accessories inspection: installation brackets, waterproof connectors and other accessories are complete

Solar Tower Warning Light Installation Process

① Installation is carried out by certified high-altitude workers

② Solar panel installation:

Azimuth error ≤±5°

Ensure effective light ≥4 hours per day

③ Fixing of lamps:

Use anti-loosening fasteners

Wind protection level ≥10

Lightning protection grounding resistance ≤10Ω

④ System debugging:

Light control sensitivity test

Backup power switching test (dual power system)

Solar Aviation Warning Light Application Scenarios

• Communication tower/radio tower
• Super high-rise building
• Power transmission facilities
• Offshore drilling platform
• Mountain wind turbine

Note: Special environments (such as strong corrosion and extremely cold areas) require the use of special models with corresponding protection levels and regular maintenance inspections.
