Current Situation and Development Trend of Solar Street Lamp

With the recommendations of urbanization and urban lighting projects in various countries around the world, the application range of solar street lamps has become more and more extensive. From the single lighting in the past to the integrated lighting and decoration of the present. Solar powered street lamp not only play a role in lighting, but also play a role in beautifying the urban landscape. In the past, the construction standards of street lamps were low, the service life was long, the lamp poles were corroded and aging, and the illumination was insufficient, which affected the safety of citizens' travel and even brought public security problems. Many governments plan to replace all these street lights with new-type solar street lamps, which can meet the requirements of energy saving and environmental protection, while increasing the illuminance to provide more convenience for citizens to travel at night.

In recent years, China's solar street lamp market has been very hot, and the number of street lamp installations has been increasing. According to preliminary estimates, by 2022, China's solar powered street lamp market will be about 5.6 billion RMB; the overall market installation of China's solar lighting products will exceed 45%, and the market space is huge. Among outdoor lamps, solar street lamps have the greatest development potential and become the most representative lamps for outdoor lighting in China. With the continuous expansion of the market, the solar street light technology in the Chinese market is also constantly upgrading. The light sources used in high-quality solar street lamps are upgraded to LED light sources. Compared with traditional high-pressure sodium lamps, LED light sources have better lighting effects, low power, low light decay, and long service life. On the basis of the same power consumption, the solar power street lamp will be brighter.

The energy storage system of solar street lamps has gradually changed from lead-acid batteries and colloidal batteries to lithium batteries in the past. In the past few years, the solar street light lithium battery market has achieved explosive growth. In addition to technological breakthroughs in batteries, the functions of intelligent controllers are becoming more and more comprehensive. On the basis of the original time control and light control, functions such as intelligent sensing and remote control are added. With the advancement of technology, the performance of solar panels has gradually increased, which has provided convenience for the development of solar powered street lamps. The application of smart solar street lamps is becoming more and more extensive, monitoring, broadcasting, smart charging, WIFI, 5G base station and many other functions are also integrated into solar street lamps. From the government level, the solar street lamp industry is an environmentally friendly new energy source and will be supported by national policies. From the market point of view, solar street lights have significant economic benefits and broad market prospects. It is estimated that by 2025, the market scale of China's solar street lamp industry will reach 6.985 billion RMB.

EXC-CR-Z01 integrated solar street lamp is a high performance outdoor lighting product developed by professional solar street lamp manufacturer-EXC. This solar street lamp use microwave sensor for energy saving. When no one is nearby, the light keep 30% dimness. When someone come into the sensing distance of 8-10 meters, the street light will turn on at 100% power. High quality components make this light popular among global customers. High-efficiency mono crystalline solar panels and built-in intelligent MPPT controller for the maximum charging efficiency.

In addition to the Chinese market, the growth potential of the solar street lamping market in Europe, the Middle East and Africa is also very huge; in 2020, Europe is the second largest contributor to the global solar street lamping market. The market is mainly driven by energy efficiency and renewable energy targets set by the government, which in turn promotes the installation of solar street lamps in Europe. In the UK, street lights account for about 50% of energy consumption. The British government combines solar energy and LED lights. This solution helps reduce CO2 emissions while saving energy costs. The governments of Brazil and the United States are also vigorously promoting the development of energy-saving lighting industry.

Clean energy such as wind energy and solar energy will be further developed in the future, gradually increasing the proportion of energy consumption and reducing the consumption of conventional energy. The technical upgrade of solar street lamp accessories, such as the increase in the conversion rate of solar panels, will also further promote the growth of the solar power street lamp market.
