GAOQIAO is a Chinese mobile solar traffic light manufacturer with 17+ years of experience building portable, trailer-mounted traffic signals for roadwork zones, utility projects, events, mining operations and emergency traffic management. Our mobile solar traffic light product line combines 200mm or 300mm LED signal heads, foldable solar panels, LiFePO4 battery storage and a wireless controller in a single trailer-mounted unit that can be deployed in 10-15 minutes without trenching, cabling or grid connection. Every system is CE, RoHS and FCC certified and ships with 5+ days of battery autonomy for extended off-grid deployments.
Traditional temporary traffic control relies on flaggers, cones, or gas/diesel generators powering wired signals. Mobile solar traffic lights eliminate all three pain points:
| Configuration | Signal head | Solar panel | Battery | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Compact mobile | 200mm 3-aspect | 200W mono | 12V 100Ah LiFePO4 | Single-lane roadwork, driveways, small sites |
| Standard mobile | 300mm 3-aspect | 400W mono | 24V 200Ah LiFePO4 | 2-lane roadwork, intersection closure, events |
| Heavy-duty mobile | 300mm 3-aspect + turn arrow | 600W mono | 24V 400Ah LiFePO4 | Major roadwork, highway lane closures |
| Pedestrian crossing | 200mm pedestrian + 300mm vehicle | 300W mono | 24V 150Ah LiFePO4 | Temporary pedestrian crossings, school zones |
For lane closures, intersection rebuilds and utility work, mobile solar traffic lights replace flaggers and provide 24/7 automated control. Two units at either end of a single-lane work zone alternate flow with configurable green time. The system pays for itself in 2-4 weeks compared to a flagger crew.
For marathons, parades, festivals and sporting events, mobile solar traffic lights deploy at temporary intersections to redirect traffic around event routes. The system can be set up the morning of the event and removed the same day.
After natural disasters, road accidents or utility failures, mobile solar traffic lights provide immediate intersection control where permanent signals are damaged or grid power is unavailable. The trailer can be towed by a standard pickup truck and deployed without external equipment.
For mining haul road crossings, remote construction sites and exploration camps, mobile solar traffic lights provide the same level of intersection control as permanent signals, without the cost of grid extension. Browse our solar warning light line for related fixed-location solar safety systems.

A mobile solar traffic light is delivered on a trailer with integrated signal mast, solar panel, battery and controller. Deployment is typically a 10-15 minute operation: tow to site, lower the outriggers to stabilize, raise the mast, and the system powers on automatically. No trenching, no cabling, no grid connection required. Two units form a temporary intersection; multiple units can be coordinated wirelessly for complex site layouts.
GAOQIAO mobile solar traffic lights are designed for 5-7 days of continuous operation on battery alone (no solar charging) for typical duty cycles. Continuous solar charging in sunny conditions provides indefinite runtime. The LiFePO4 battery pack is field-replaceable for long-term deployment.
Mobile solar traffic lights are accepted as temporary traffic control devices in most jurisdictions, subject to local road authority approval. Typical use cases (roadwork zones, utility work, events) are covered by MUTCD Part 6 in the US, EN 12966 in Europe and equivalent standards elsewhere. GAOQIAO provides the certification documentation required for permit applications.
Yes. Up to 8 GAOQIAO mobile solar traffic lights can be wirelessly coordinated as a single multi-leg temporary intersection. The wireless mesh coordinates phase timing across all units automatically. Phase plans can be configured via the handheld remote or web dashboard.
Two workers can fully deploy a GAOQIAO mobile solar traffic light in less than 15 minutes. The trailer-mounted base has a manual hand winch for mast raising, a fold-out solar wing array, and integrated outriggers for wind stability. No foundation, no cabling, no external generator is required, which makes the unit ideal for roadwork zones, temporary intersection control, and emergency deployments.
With a fully charged battery, the mobile solar traffic light runs for a minimum of 5 days in standard 24/7 mode (red-green cycle) at full LED brightness. In low-power mode (50% brightness, daytime only) runtime extends beyond 14 days. The unit uses LiFePO4 batteries with a built-in battery heater for low-temperature operation, so the system performs reliably down to -25 °C ambient.
Yes. We offer two synchronization methods. Wireless 433 MHz RF linking is standard and pairs up to 8 units within 300 meters line-of-sight. For larger work zones, an optional 4G cellular gateway allows real-time remote phase monitoring and adjustment through a web dashboard, including per-unit battery state, solar yield and last-24-hour event log.
