Avoid 6 Mistakes When installing Solar Street Lamp

Solar street lamps are favored by more people these days. They rely the solar panel to absorb the solar light and transfer the solar energy into electricity during the day. At night, the transfered electricity will be used to power up the street light. After selecting the cost-effective lighting products, the next step is installation. Compared with conventional street lights, the installation of solar street lamp is easier. However, there are still some mistakes to avoid during the installation. If you are new investers in the solar outdoor lighting industry, read this article and get more knowledge.

Mistake 1

There is a strong light source near the solar street lamp. If the light source near the solar street lamp is very bright, the street lamp will not be able to light up. For example: there are other street lights next to the solar street lamp. When night falls and the next street light turns on, causing the solar panel of the solar street lamp to detect the light source and mistake it for daytime. At this time, the controller will not let it turn on.

Mistake 2

When installing, put solar panels indoors for charging. Some customers will install solar lights in the parking shed to facilitate parking at night, but also install solar panels in the shed, so that the charging effect is naturally greatly reduced. If you encounter this In case, we can install street lights by charging outdoors, discharging indoors, and separating solar panels from the lights.

Mistake 3

Do not install lights on both sides, and the solar panels are tilted face to face. Symmetrical things give people a good visual sense. Therefore, when solar panel street lights are needed on both sides of the road, some people may install solar panels symmetrically. It seems that the solar panels are all exposed to the sun, and they are well received by the sunlight. But in fact, solar panels are installed at different angles, and their utilization of sunlight is also very different. Regardless of the inclination angle or the installation direction, there are certain scientific principles, and solar street lamps must be installed in accordance with the rules. The solar panel must face the direction of sunlight. For details, please refer to the local latitude and longitude of the installation location. Symmetrical installation is absolutely undesirable.

Mistake 4

There was a problem with the angle adjustment of the solar panel during installation, resulting in low charging efficiency. The correct angle adjustment of the solar panel needs to follow a simple principle: let the sun shine directly on the solar panel, so that the charging efficiency is maximized. In different places, the tilt angle of the solar panel can refer to the local latitude. The latitude is the same as the horizontal tilt of the solar panel. Therefore, for different latitudes and different roads, it is quite critical that the solar panel angle is adjustable.

Mistake 5

Avoid too many obstructions in the place where the led solar street lamp is installed, resulting in a decrease in the charging efficiency of the solar panel. Sunlight is the main energy source of solar street lamps. If there are obstructions around, such as big trees or buildings, it will inevitably affect the sunlight, and it will not allow the solar panels to receive enough light energy, which will affect the performance of the street lights. used. In addition to covering the solar panel with a large area, it is also impossible to cover the solar panel with a small area. If the solar panel is shielded, a shadow will be formed on the surface, and the shadowed area will be in a disconnected state. If things go on like this, it will cause damage to the solar panel itself and shorten its service life.

Mistake 6

Do not extend the solar panel cable at will. In some locations, the installation of solar panels causes too much interference, so we simply separate the solar panels from the lights a long distance. Some customers are separated by a distance of 10 meters or more, and then randomly buy wires in the market to connect. Because the quality of the general wires on the market is not very good, and the distance between the wires is very long, the wire loss is very large, so the charging efficiency will be reduced a lot, which will affect the lighting time.
