Solar-Powered LED Street Lighting Project for the Chancay Port Area Municipal Road in Peru, South America

The client, an infrastructure contractor serving the Chancay Port development in Peru, was building new municipal roads and access avenues around one of South America's largest new deep-water ports. The fast-growing port corridor needed dependable street lighting that could be deployed quickly along newly built roads — without waiting for grid power extension.

The project called for a complete solar lighting solution that could meet several demands:

●Fully off-grid, fast deployment — extending the electrical grid along the new port roads was costly and slow, so self-contained solar LED street lights were specified to deliver immediate, cable-free lighting for the corridor.

●Coastal corrosion & UV resistance — the seaside port environment combines salt-laden air with strong coastal sunshine, demanding heavy-duty galvanized poles and weather-sealed solar/LED components for long, maintenance-free service.

●Reliable lighting performance for a logistics corridor — busy port traffic (trucks and workers, day and night) required consistent, glare-controlled illumination for safety along the avenues.

●Verified quality & dependable export — as public port infrastructure, the solar lighting sets needed documented quality inspection and carefully controlled packaging for the long ocean shipment to Peru.

The contractor's core need was a single manufacturer able to design and deliver a complete, durable solar street lighting project — lighting system, poles and accessories — with verified quality and reliable export to South America.

Yangzhou Xintong delivered a turnkey solar street lighting project, supplying the complete lighting system rather than poles alone:

●Complete solar LED street light sets: Each unit integrates a high-efficiency LED luminaire, solar panel, lithium battery and intelligent controller on a single- or double-arm galvanized steel pole — engineered as a balanced system so panel output, battery capacity and LED power match the site's solar resource and deliver stable all-night illumination.

●Off-grid reliability: The systems run fully independent of the grid, with the controller managing charging and dusk-to-dawn operation — ideal for the rapidly expanding port roads where grid power was not yet available.

●Coastal-grade durability: Poles are protected with 80–100 µm hot-dip galvanizing (ASTM A123 / EN ISO 1461) for 25+ years of service in the salt-air coastal environment; solar and LED components are weather-sealed for outdoor use.

●Certified quality: Every pole passes documented zinc-thickness, steel-thickness and weld inspection (see Section 6) to internationally recognized standards.

●Manufacturing strength behind the project: The dedicated solar-lighting and pole production base ensures stable supply, consistent quality and competitive pricing — 5,000 tons of raw material in stock, a self-owned hot-dip galvanizing factory, an automated spray coating line, a 12,000 KW high-power laser cutter, CNC bending machines, and 160 certified welders with 5+ years' experience.

In-house production process supporting the solar lighting project: cutting, bending, welding, polishing, hot-dip galvanizing, spraying, quality checks and packing

Every component of the solar street lighting sets is verified by the Xintong inspection team against internationally recognized standards before shipment:

●Zinc Thickness Inspection — > 85 µm (coating thickness gauge), complying with ASTM A123 / EN ISO 1461

●Steel Thickness Inspection — tolerance < 0.1 mm, complying with ASTM A36 / EN 10025

●Magnetic & Ultrasonic Welding Inspection, complying with AWS D1.1 / EN 1090-2

In addition, solar panels, batteries, controllers and LED luminaires are function-tested as complete sets prior to packing. Each batch ships with inspection records and documentation, ensuring the project meets public-infrastructure quality requirements.

To guarantee the complete solar lighting sets arrive undamaged after the long sea voyage to Peru:

●Component protection: Solar panels, LED luminaires, batteries and controllers are individually boxed and cushioned; each pole is wrapped with protective material along its length, with extra protection at flange ends.

●Bundling & strapping: Poles are bundled and secured with steel strapping and wooden spacers to prevent shifting and abrasion in transit.

●Container loading: Professionally loaded and braced into containers; smaller poles are nested inside larger ones to maximize space and stability, and all accessories are crated and labeled per set for easy on-site assembly.

●Shipping mode: Sea freight FOB/CIF direct to Chancay Port as negotiated, with full export documentation and installation guidance provided.

The full order of 600 solar street light sets was delivered and installed on schedule, with all galvanizing, steel and weld documentation meeting ASTM A123 / EN ISO 1461, ASTM A36 / EN 10025 and AWS D1.1 / EN 1090-2 requirements.

Once installed, the Chancay port-area roads and avenues achieved reliable, fully off-grid LED illumination, powered entirely by the abundant coastal sunshine — providing safe night-time lighting for the busy logistics corridor with zero grid-connection cost and minimal maintenance, backed by an expected service life exceeding 25 years.

Client feedback:

"Xintong delivered a complete solar lighting solution that was perfect for our port project — no grid connection required, excellent build quality, and all the galvanizing and welding passed inspection. Delivery to Chancay went smoothly and the roads look great and safe at night. We look forward to working with them on the next phase."
