May I ask is there any solar-powered street light available? And how can we attach the solar panel to the lights?

Not very knowledgeable on that but from what I understand a street light is one that will run from dusk to dawn and be reasonably powerful to suit its purpose.Given then it will require a definite amount of energy to run that much light for that amount of time .
The problem becomes matching a solar panel that will produce that amount of energy reliably and a battery that will hold it until needed.
There are LED spotlight solutions available and some councils have attempted to make a go of it but I don't know of a successful, working, reliable system ,you can buy off the rack, to even run just one street light. I do however have about 4 off 20 watt LED spotlights ,movement activated and switched on only at night, in 24 Volts ,running off solar panels into batteries but they are forever breaking down and batteries going flat. They have been a waste of time and money looking back.

How Much Light do you need. I have Used the HF Rope lights to light up a shed and Areas around the Goat Barns. The Good I have light when I need to check on Live stock. I have found putting two sets together works well when used with mirrors an a reflective back ground. Mine have went two years before needing batteries. I will post Photos Later in the Photo Post thread If you want to see them. Do not be discouraged You Can do this. You can Most likely make it look better.
