Benefits of solar street light to urban lighting

The wide use of solar street light is reasonable, because it breaks the limitations of traditional street lamps. Solar street light manufacturers can meet the use needs of various environments without using wires and buried wires, and have the advantages of high safety, beautiful appearance and long service life. After installation, solar street light do not need special maintenance, and the overall performance cost is high.

Because there is no need for power supply, it saves a lot of cost and power consumption. Solar street light use solar photovoltaic panels to absorb solar light during the day, convert it into electric energy and store it in the battery. At night, they will automatically emit light, showing light and the effect brought by light, which has brought beauty to urban lighting and added more colors to people's life.

Service life of solar street light

The service life of solar street light is determined by the accessories with the shortest service life. The accessories of solar street light are mainly composed of solar panel, controller, battery, light source and lamp pole. The service life of solar panels is more than 20 years. After 20 years, solar panels only have a certain light decay (about more than 30%), but they can continue to be used; Then there is the controller, which generally has a service life of about 8 ~ 10 years, depending on the electronic components and service environment; Then there is the battery. In the past, the solar street light generally used lead-acid colloidal battery. The service life of this kind of battery is about 3 years. Generally, the lead-acid battery that is approaching the service life may be aging seriously, and the capacity can not even reach 10% of the basic capacity, which can hardly meet the lighting requirements. Most of the batteries used now are lithium batteries. The high and low temperature resistance of lithium batteries is better than that of lead-acid colloidal batteries, the number of cycles is also more than that of lead-acid colloidal batteries, and the deep discharge can reach more than 2000 times. 

Therefore, the service life of lithium batteries can be more than 5 years; The current solar street light are led light sources, and the service life of good LED light sources can reach more than 11 years; If the last lamp pole is hot-dip galvanized and anti rust measures are taken, the service life can be more than 20 years.

To sum up, the main factor restricting the service life of solar street light is the battery. When in normal use, the battery is the first to be damaged. At this time, you don't have to worry. Just replace the battery and the solar street light can be used normally.

Therefore, the general service life of solar street light is 5 ~ 8 years, but most accessories can be used normally. Just replace the battery.
