Solution — APOLLO for High-Temperature Reliability
To meet Diffa’s year-round heat and sparse grid coverage, we deployed the APOLLO split-type configuration with the battery mounted beneath the PV module for safer access and faster maintenance. A 25.6 V low-current strategy reduces thermal stress, while LiFePO4 chemistry provides stable performance at high ambient temperatures. The MPPT controller (rated up to 99% charging efficiency, with over-temperature current derating above 80 °C) maximizes daily energy harvest and protects components in heat waves. Factory high-temperature tests, together with remote training, installation manuals and videos, ensured consistent field performance across batches.
Implementación y control de calidad

In 2021, Inlux Solar, a vetted solar street light manufacturer, partnered with our African partner company and successfully supplied the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to provide 1750 sets of solar street lights for the cities of Baroua and Diffa in Niger, which not only need to adapt to extreme weather conditions but also ensure long-term stable operation.
Considering the high-temperature working environment, we use the high voltage (25.6V) and low working current proposal, which effectively reduces the heat generated by the system during operation.
The battery adopts a LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate) battery, which is particularly suitable for high-temperature environments due to its excellent stable performance under high temperatures. LiFePO4 (Lithium iron phosphate) batteries are not only smaller in size and lighter in weight but also have a longer lifetime and lower maintenance costs, which are becoming the main battery type of high-quality solar street lighting systems.


In the production process, we used first-class raw materials, and we did the high-temperature tests of the key components to ensure that every set of solar street lights can work stably in extreme weather conditions.
Our service team provided the installation manual and videos, and did online meetings for the local installation team, which greatly fast the installation, After installation, The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) shortly surveyed the installed project accepted all the equipment, and especially praised our solar street lights for their high brightness and 100% success rate. These solar street lights effectively solved the local nighttime lighting problem, greatly facilitating the lives of residents. They not only provide necessary lighting, but also help improve road safety, promote nighttime economic activities, and bring tangible benefits to local communities.
