5 Main Factors Affecting The Quality Of Solar LED Street Light

Over the past years, greenhouse gases emmited from people's daily activities have increased a lot. Countries all over the world put forward sustainable development policies successively around the world. Since the development of solar led street light, CO2 emissions have been reduced a lot. Solar led street light is a great outdoor lighting solution that use solarlight as energy. It's used to illuminate the streets, roads, highways, etc.  The solar light price depends on its configuration and quality. It's a complicated lighting system that consist of solar cell, battery, controller, light source, etc. Many factors will affect the quality of the solar led street light .

1. Lighting source

Different street light sources have different service life. The light sources that can be selected include low-pressure sodium lamps, low-voltage induction lamps, LED lamps, low-voltage fluorescent lamps, etc. Nowadays, more sodium lamps and LED lamps are used. Sodium lamps are cheap and have a shorter life span. LED light source light decay is small, the luminous efficiency is high, and the service life is long, which can reach 50,000 hours. The light source is very important for solar led street lights. It is recommended to choose a cost-effective solar led street light equipped with LED light sources.

2. LED cooling

LEDs are semiconductor components, they generate large heat and poor heat dissipation control, which directly affects the working efficiency of LED lights. Therefore, the heat dissipation of LED light sources is also a factor that determines the quality of solar led street lights. If the heat dissipation of the solar street lamp is not done well, it will shorten the service life; secondly, it will affect the lighting effect. The long-term poor heat dissipation will increase the LED light attenuation; thirdly, the continuous accumulation of heat will cause the aging of the lamp holder and other related equipment ,Affect. Larger power solar street lighting systems will also use aluminum lamp holders, and depict a shape with a faster heat dissipation effect, and increase the heat dissipation area.

3. Solar Controller

The controller not only controls, monitors, and protects solar panels and batteries, but also indirectly protects solar led street lights, providing them with an effective and relatively stable working environment. Especially when the battery power is low, a stable controller will play a key role.

4. Battery

Batteries are the core of solar led street lights, and their main function is to store electrical energy. If there is a problem with the battery, the solar led street light will be affected as a whole. Therefore, when choosing a solar battery, choose a battery with relatively stable performance. In addition, the construction should be tight, and the battery should be prevented from entering water. Some solar led street light manufacturers will use recycled second-hand batteries, the quality of the batteries is not guaranteed, so the service life is not up to expectations. Choosing a reliable solar led street light manufacturer is very significant. The quality of street light accessories provided by professional manufacturers is guaranteed.

5. Solar Panel

The main function of solar panels is to absorb solar energy and convert it into electrical energy for storage in batteries. Each cell on the battery board is complete, and is formed by integral cutting. However, many irregular solar light manufacturers on the market spliced broken cells to form seemingly complete cells for welding. When we observe, see if there are any traces of cutting. The spliced solar panels are easy to disconnect again later, affecting the use. Of course, this situation is difficult to detect with the naked eye. We can check the sealing of solar panels, process details, etc. Solar panels of poor quality are easily damaged during use, and have poor resistance to hail and rain, so we must pay attention to these when choosing solar panels .
