How To Select Suitable Solar Street Lamp?

Solar street lamp is one of the best way to utilize solar energy. Unlike other non-renewable energy such as coal, oil, the solar energy is clean, economical and won't pollute the environment. The total number of existing street lights in China is about 100 million, and it is growing at an annual rate of 19%. Assuming that each street lamp works 10 hours a day, it will save 65 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity in one year. The total power generation of the Three Gorges Hydropower Station in 2007 was 61.5 billion kWh. Therefore, the electricity saved by changing all the street lights in China to solar street lamps will exceed the annual power generation capacity of a Three Gorges hydropower station.

Not only that, solar energy is a clean and renewable energy source, which not only saves electricity, but also reduces carbon dioxide emissions. Each 250-watt high-pressure sodium lamp will produce 1,290 kilograms of carbon dioxide within a year, so after all 60 million street lamps are converted to solar street lamps, 77.4 million tons of carbon dioxide will be reduced. This is a huge number, a great contribution to the environment and to the earth. Due to these reasons, solar street lamps are favored by more people. As new users, most people don't know how to select a suitable solar street lamp. In this article, we wil give you some advice on selecting solar street lamp.

2. Be sure to choose solar street lamps with good lighting effects

The lighting effect can most directly reflect the quality of street lights. The lighting effect is mainly related to the power of the LED street light source used by the solar street lamp and the quality of the LED chip. The greater the power, the higher the brightness, and the better the overall brightness effect. Street lamps with high-quality chips have high luminous efficiency and a longer service life. The higher the power means the higher the solar street lamp configuration required. If you want to buy a suitable solar street lamp, you need to communicate with a professional street light manufacturer and provide the information needed to configure the street light. Don't blindly pursue low-configuration, low-price products.

3. Determine the street lamp configuration you need

When you are ordering solar street lamps, you must figure out what configuration solar street lights you need, where they are mainly used, whether they are frequently used, and what are the requirements for the brightness and lifespan. How long does it take to turn on the lights, and what is the longest number of rainy days? All this information needs to be provided. The price of solar street lamps is determined by the configuration. The higher the configuration, the higher the price. If rainy weather occurs midway, lighting can be continuously provided.

4. Consult the after-sales service of solar street lamp

The after-sales service of solar street lamps in the general market is 3 years. Unlike the traditional street lights, the solar powered street lamps basically do not need to be repaired after installation, even if they need to be repaired, it is very simple. Regular street lamp manufacturers generally provide comprehensive after-sales service.
