Be careful!5 common mistakes to make when installing led solar street lamps

1.Install in the place with a lot of shielding

The work principle of led solar street lamps is that absorbing the sunshine during the day and storing it in storage battery. At night, the storage battery converts sunlight into electricity to supply the street lamp with power , which then lights up.But then again, solar panels need to absorb sunlight to save electricity. If the street lamp is installed in the place with a lot of shelter, such as by a lot of trees, or blocked by buildings, it will not absorb sunlight, so the lamp will not light up or the bright is dim.

2.Install near other light sources

LED solar powered street lamps have their own control system that can distinguish between dawn and darkness.If another power source is installed next to the solar street lamp, when the other power source is on, the solar street lamp system will think it is daytime, and then it will not be light up.

3.The solar panels are mounted under other shielding

Solar panels are made up of a series of cells, and if there is no sunlight on one of them for a long time, the group of cells is useless.By the same token,if the solar led street light is installed in a place, there is exactly a certain shield in that place that covers a certain area of the solar panel. This area cannot be exposed to sunlight for a long time, and the sunlight cannot be converted into electricity, and the battery in that area is equivalent to a short circuit.

4.Solar street lights are installed on both sides of the road, and solar panels tilt face to face

It should be quite common for street lamps to be installed on both sides of the road, but there is a problem with this, which is that the sun only rises from the east, and if one side of the street lamp is facing east and the other side is facing west, there imight be one side facing away from the sun and can not absorb the sunlight because the orientation is wrong.The correct way to install the solar panels is to face the same side, so that the solar panels on both sides can absorb sunlight.

5.Solar street lamps are charged indoors

Some customers will install solar street lamps in carport or other indoor spaces, because it is convenient for lighting.But if installed indoors, solar street lights won't work because their panels are completely blocked from absorbing sunlight, so there is no sunlight to be converted into electricity to illuminate.If you want to choose solar street lighting installed indoors, you can install the solar panel and lamp separately, so that the panel is charged outdoors, and the lamp is illuminated indoors.Of course, we can also choose other lighting lamps applied in indoor lighting.
