Do You Need Solar Street Lamp Or Traditional Light?

In recent years, with the improvement of the conversion efficiency of solar cells, the continuous development of LED lighting technology, and the popularization of the concept of energy saving and environmental protection worldwide, the market of solar street lamp products has grown rapidly. With the acceleration of urbanization construction and the rise of the concept of smart city and safe city, the solar street lamp market has ushered in an explosive period. Taking China as an example, in such a large country, traditional electric street lights still account for the majority. After all, solar street lamps are only outdoor lamps that have emerged in recent years. Many people do not have enough understanding of solar street lamps, thinking that solar street lamps cannot be turned on in rainy weather. This idea is of course wrong, high-quality solar street lamps can provide continuous rainy weather lighting for up to 15 days. And rainy weather is not completely without sunshine, but compared with sunny days, solar panels can absorb very little solar energy. Of course, some users will insist on choosing ordinary electric street lights. So, do you need solar street lamps or ordinary electric street lights? We can make the right choice by deepening our understanding of these two types of street lights.

The common solar street lamps in life are composed of five major parts: lamp poles, lamp holders, solar panels, controllers, and lithium batteries. Among them, there is a lamp arm on the lamp pole to connect the lamp head, and the lamp pole is combined with the ground cage buried deep in the ground during installation. The lamp head is the lighting part of the solar street lamp, which contains lamp beads, controllers, connecting wires, and some people will put lithium batteries in it. The solar street lamps can be divided into all in one integrated solar street lamp and split solar power street lamp. When light shines on the solar panel during the day, the solar panel converts the light energy into electrical energy, which is then stored in the lithium battery. When the light becomes weak in the evening, the controller senses that the light becomes weak and will control the lithium battery to transmit the stored electric energy to the lamp head part, thereby lighting the solar street lamp. Depending on the time of night and the location of the solar street lamps. The lighting time of the street lights is sooner or later, depending on the capacity of the lithium battery, the lighting time is between 6-12 hours. The lighting time requirements of street lamps are different, and the configuration of solar street lamps is also different. The higher the configuration of the street lamp, the more expensive the price will be. 

Solar street lamps are suitable for areas with limited power resources. Because some areas are affected by the environment, it will be more difficult to install ordinary street lights. In this case, it is more appropriate to choose solar street lamps. There are also some rural and highway center isolation belt areas, which are affected by factors such as sun exposure, thunderstorms and electric shocks, which can easily lead to damage to lamps or excessive aging of wires and lead to circuit breakers. Digging and burying lines also requires high material and labor costs. At this time, solar street lamps have become the best choice. The installation of solar street lamps is very simple, which can save a lot of costs, and it is low-voltage power supply and very safe. The most important thing is that there will be no electricity bills in the later period, and the cost can be recovered in only 3-5 years.

The main source of electricity for ordinary street lamps is burning coal for thermal power generation. Power plants consume a large amount of non-renewable energy every year, which not only accelerates the reduction of limited resources, but also pollutes the environment. Therefore, most countries have begun to advocate sustainable development and vigorously develop clean energy. In terms of the stability of street lights, ordinary street lights may be better than solar street lamps in cloudy days, haze and other weather with insufficient sunlight. However, as we mentioned above, the current solar street lamp technology has developed very well, and it can also provide normal lighting in rainy weather. So you don't have to worry about this. Moreover, the annual electricity cost of ordinary electric street lights is also a huge cost. Using solar street lamps can help us save this cost.
