When choosing solar street light, the following aspects should be taken into consideration:
1. Solar panels
Efficiency: Choose high-efficiency monocrystalline to ensure effective charging even under low light conditions.
Power: Based on the power consumption of the street light and the duration of sunlight exposure, select the appropriate power of the solar panels to ensure adequate power supply.
2. Battery
Capacity: The capacity should be sufficient to meet the lighting needs during continuous rainy days, typically supporting a battery life of 3 to 5 days.
Type: Common lithium batteries or gel batteries. Lithium batteries are lightweight and have a long lifespan, while gel batteries can withstand high temperatures and have good stability.
3. Light Source
Type: LED lights are the mainstream choice due to their high efficiency, energy saving and long lifespan.
Brightness: Select the appropriate luminous flux (lumen) based on the lighting requirements to ensure sufficient brightness.
4. Controller
Function: The controller should have functions such as overcharge protection, overdischarge protection, and short-circuit protection, and be able to automatically switch the lights according to the light intensity.
Intelligentization: Some controllers support remote monitoring and dimming, enhancing management efficiency.
5. Lamp Post
Material: Commonly used is hot-dip galvanized steel or stainless steel, ensuring corrosion resistance and wind resistance capabilities.
Height: Select an appropriate height based on the road width and the illumination range. Usually, it is 6 to 12 meters.
6. Installation Environment
Sunlight Conditions: Ensure that the installation site receives sufficient sunlight and avoid shading.
Climate conditions: Take into account the local climate and choose equipment that is resistant to high temperatures, low temperatures and water.
7. Maintenance
Maintainability: Opt for designs that are easy to maintain. Regularly clean the solar panels, inspect the battery and controller status.
8. Value for Money
Budget: Select the product with the best performance within the budget, avoiding the excessive pursuit of low price at the expense of quality.
9. Certification and Quality Assurance
Certification: Select products that have passed relevant certifications to ensure quality and safety.
Warranty: Understand the warranty period and after-sales service to ensure worry-free use for a long time.
Taking all these factors into consideration can help you choose the suitable solar street lamps.
