What's the difference between Integrated solar street light and split solar street light?
The main difference between integrated solar street lights and split solar street lights lies in the structural design and installation method, as follows:
Structural design:
Integrated solar street lights: All components such as solar panels, LED lamps, controllers, batteries, etc. are integrated on a lamp pole to form a compact unit.
Split solar street lights: Each component (solar panel, LED lamp, controller, battery, etc.) is separate and needs to be installed and connected separately.
Installation method:
Integrated solar street lights: The installation is relatively simple, usually only the entire lamp pole needs to be fixed to the ground, which reduces the installation time and cost.
Split solar street lights: The solar panels, lamps, controllers and batteries need to be installed separately, and the installation process is more complicated and requires more time and labor.
Maintenance and repair:
Integrated solar street lights: Since all components are integrated together, maintenance and repair may be more convenient because only one unit needs to be checked.
Split solar street lights: Maintenance and repair may be more complicated because multiple independent components need to be checked and maintained.
Aesthetics:
Integrated solar street lights: Usually designed to be more compact and beautiful, suitable for urban environments and places with high requirements for appearance.
Split solar street lights: Due to the scattered components, they may not be as visually beautiful as integrated street lights.
Cost:
Integrated solar street lights: Due to the high integration, the production cost may be lower, but the maintenance cost may be higher, because once a component is damaged, the entire unit may need to be replaced.
Split solar street lights: The initial installation cost may be higher, but the maintenance cost may be lower because damaged components can be replaced separately.
Flexibility and scalability:
Integrated solar street lights: Less flexibility, because all components are fixed together and are not easy to expand or upgrade as needed.
Split solar street lights: More flexible, the size of the solar panel, the capacity of the battery or the type of lamp can be adjusted as needed.
Applicable scenarios:
Integrated solar street lights: More suitable for places with requirements for aesthetics such as urban streets, communities, parks, etc.
Split solar street lights: More suitable for places with high lighting requirements and flexible configuration, such as rural roads, industrial parks, etc.
Performance and efficiency:
Integrated solar street lights: Due to size and weight limitations, they may not be suitable for places that require high-power lighting.
Split solar street lights: They can be equipped with larger capacity solar panels and batteries, suitable for places that require long-term lighting or high-power lighting.
Which type of solar street light to choose depends on the specific application requirements, budget, installation conditions, and maintenance capabilities.
