Solar street light in Marrakech-Safi: heat, hotels, Atlas douars

A solar street light in Marrakech is sized on 3.46 kWh/m²/day in December for a horizontal panel, 5.73 for a panel tilted at 32° (+66 %) — PVGIS-SARAH2 2005-2020, JRC — and a 13.9 h night at the solstice, but also on heat: 37–38 °C mean daily maximum in July–August and a record of 49.6 °C. LALOGO delivers across the Marrakech-Safi region its LS-A60 to LS-A140 street lights, its LS-S60 to LS-S100 split kits with the battery at the pole base, its LS-F100 / LS-F200 floodlights and its 3000 K garden range for hotels, riads and resorts.

What irradiation and what heat in Marrakech?

Marrakech receives 2,050 kWh/m² a year, 5.61 kWh/m²/day on average, 3.46 in December (62 % of the average) and 7.69 in June; 3,252 sunshine hours a year. An LS-A60 (60 Wp, 192 Wh) harvests 60 × 3.46 × 0.72 ≈ 149 Wh per December day (system efficiency 0.72, engineering assumption), an LS-A80 (80 Wp, 256 Wh) ≈ 199 Wh. The constraint lies elsewhere: mean temperature of 28.0 °C in July (ERA5) and 9.8 °C in January, mean minimum of 5.9 °C in January, record of 49.6 °C. A LiFePO4 cell loses ≈ 23 % of its cycle life at 45 °C versus 25 °C according to a study published in 2024, and a closed housing in full July sun exceeds that value (LALOGO engineering reasoning). Our packs run from −20 °C to +65 °C; for the region's roads we nevertheless prefer the LS-S60 / LS-S80 split kit, whose 12.8 V battery sits in a box at the pole base or buried, in the shade, and whose tilted panel harvests +66 % in December.

Who buys solar lighting in Marrakech-Safi?

Hospitality first: hotels in the Palmeraie and Hivernage, riads in the medina, resorts and golf courses on the Ourika and Amizmiz roads, guesthouses in the Atlas, wanting LS-G50 bollards, LS-W50R wall lights and LS-L12 spots in 3000 K without trenching through the gardens, and a car park lit by LS-A50C units. Rural communes next: douars of Al Haouz, Chichaoua, El Kelâa des Sraghna, Rehamna and Youssoufia, under the PRDTS programmes and the 2026 Finance Act, with LS-A60 units or LS-S60 kits on Moroccan-made 5–6 m poles and LS-F100 / LS-F200 floodlights for squares. The port of Safi and manufacturers for car parks and perimeters (LS-A120 / LS-A140). Finally the farms of the Haouz and the Sraghna: tracks, sheds, pumping stations, LS-C100 at the gates.

Which version for Safi and Essaouira?

Safi (port, industrial zone, corniche) and Essaouira (medina, seafront) fall into classes C4–C5 within one kilometre of the ocean under LALOGO's engineering classification based on ISO 9223: IP66 coastal version with marine-grade coating, NM ISO 1461 hot-dip galvanised pole with ISO 12944 paint, stainless fasteners, salt-spray report on request. Essaouira is also a windy site: the pole's wind resistance is calculated by the Moroccan fabricator (value on request) and the LS-K wind-solar hybrid kit is an option there.

Which LALOGO models for the region?

Documents, Moroccan-made pole and delivery

For communes, the specification cites NM EN 13201 (indicative class P4–P5 or M6 for a douar street), NM 06.8.001 (LALOGO file in progress) and the Cم marking; we supply FR/AR/EN datasheets, IES/LDT on request, the Cم declaration and the Arabic manual. The pole is Moroccan-made (25 % safeguard duty on imported poles, HS 7308.90.10); the customs classification of the luminaire is confirmed by our forwarder. Delivery from Casablanca to Marrakech, Safi, Essaouira, El Kelâa, Chichaoua and Benguerir; commissioning with profile set-up — no PIR on hotel paths, PIR and mid-night dimming on douars. Autonomy: up to 12 h per night, 3–5 days of reserve at the default profile; it depends on irradiation and on the dimming profile.
