What To Consider When Buying Solar Street Lights?

Publish Time: 2023-04-27     Origin: Site

Solar street lights do not rely on grid connected power supply, but rely on batteries or photo voltaic cells to store solar energy. This makes solar street lights a viable option for supplying electricity to highways and roads in remote areas without any source of electricity grid. These systems can also convert stored energy into electrical energy as needed. In order for your solar street lights to work properly, they must be exposed to direct sunlight and allowed to absorb solar energy for at least eight hours. After charging, they can rest at night. If you plan to invest in solar street lighting, this is undoubtedly a wise decision, as these solar solutions are rapidly gaining attention. The popularity of these street lights is driving the market, and vice versa. The solar lighting market is flooded with dozens of options, and inexperienced investors may be overwhelmed. If you are not well informed, you may purchase inferior solar street lights made from inferior materials. We will provide you with all the information you need to consider when investing in solar street lights.


1. Battery type


All solar lights are powered by batteries, there are two types: lithium batteries and lead-acid batteries

Of the two, lithium batteries are better because they have: longer service life, stronger temperature resistance (up to 45 degrees Celsius), multiple charge and discharge times (more than three times that of lead-acid batteries), more Good battery capacity to provide decent lighting efficiency

It should be noted that the battery capacity must meet the lighting efficiency requirements. Otherwise, street lights will not be able to provide sufficient lighting during the rainy season.


2. Temperature and latitude


When you are at a latitude greater than 15 degrees, the inclination of the sun to the ground is greater than 15 degrees. Therefore, you must consider solar street lights with adjustable solar panels. In addition, the solar street light panels installed on both sides of the road cannot face away from the sun.


3. Heat dissipation performance


Heat dissipation is another important factor in determining the quality of LED lights. Basically, cooling is nothing more than the transfer of heat. However, dissipation also refers to heat loss driven by undesirable effects. Therefore, every time the heat dissipation is insufficient, the life of the semiconductor devices in the street lamp will be shortened. It is best to choose UV-resistant and fire-resistant LED lights to ensure sufficient heat dissipation.


4. Lighting levels


When considering solar powered street lights, check out the details on candlelight, as they determine the lighting on the floor. Ideally, the light/dark ratio should be 4:1, but a minimum ratio of 3:1 is also good. You should also consider color temperature, which is measured in degrees Kelvin.


5. The temperature of the black lamp housing


It is best to choose light-colored lights, because black lights are more heat-absorbing. If the lamp is black, the temperature of the metal casing can reach up to 90 degrees Celsius underexposed. High temperatures can damage batteries and light sources. Therefore, it is necessary to choose a silver shell that will not absorb heat or fade when placed outdoors.


6. Controller


Charge and discharge controller, also known as solar controller, coordinates the work of solar panels, batteries and loads. Effective cooling is critical to controller selection. Another important feature is temperature compensation. A smart controller is added to prevent overcharging and undercharging of the solar cells. You're better off investing in a smart solar controller with built-in communications to monitor and control the system in real time. This controller will provide maximum performance and longevity.


7. Sensors


There are two types of sensors: microwave sensing (can sense moving objects) and infrared sensing (only detects home other mic organisms)

PIR or passive infrared sensors are included in many solar powered street lights to help conserve energy. The sensor works by measuring infrared light, which enables the sensor to detect motion.


8. Solar panels


Solar panels are the main component of solar street lighting systems. To determine the quality of a solar panel, you should:

Check that the silicone is evenly distributed around the back, back plate and frame.

Check the stringing of the battery arrangement for leakage regularity.

Check the quality of the pressure on the back and check for irregularities such as air bubbles and wrinkles.

Check the tempered glass surface of the battery panel for foreign objects.

Make sure each cell is complete and made by cutting it in one piece.


9. Service and Warranty


Solar street lights are of course a big investment. Therefore, you want to make sure that the manufacturer offers an extended warranty of 20 to 25 years. In addition, look for reputable solar street light dealers who provide good after-sales service. Well-designed systems, like our Yi Can Lighting, are ready for highway applications. The increased efficiency of solar street lights means that you need less electricity to light your road or street. We use high quality LEDs to balance effective light distribution and lumens per watt. Solar panels and batteries are sized for the weather conditions and solar access in your area. Get all night lighting without using a motion sensor. Your commercial solar street light can also be networked with our wireless lighting control system.

To avoid the replacement and maintenance costs of traditional lights, solar flood lights are a great way to get rid of these problems. Yican Lighting is the best solar flood light supplier. Explore their range of lights and get great after-sales service!
