In order to select a solar lighting post that meets your requirements, a number of
parameters must be taken into consideration:

The installation geographical area, as solar radiation varies widely from one area
to the next.

The power of the solar panel (expressed in Wp). The more powerful the solar panel,
the larger it is and the more power it will produces.
Battery capacity (expressed in V-Ah or Wh). Battery capacity determines the
amount of energy that the lighting column can store.
Battery technology. Lithium and NiMH allow more extensive discharge than Lead;
this therefore allows a greater amount of energy to be used for a given rated battery
capacity.
Lighting power (expressed in W), calculated according to the requested lighting
level of the area to illuminate.
The duration of night time lighting, as the longer this period, the greater the power
consumption and hence the larger the solar panel and battery. Hence the need to
illuminate as close as possible to the need.
