For roads, street lights are very important equipment. Every evening, the scattered street lights are lit up, providing light to our dark environment, enabling us to see the way forward and feel safe.

Since the development of human history, street lighting technology has been advancing day by day. In modern times, solar street lights have gradually become a new trend. This kind of street light has many advantages, such as no need to lay cables, no AC power supply, no electricity bills, good stability, long lifespan, high luminous efficiency, easy installation and maintenance, high safety performance, energy saving and environmental protection, economical and practical, etc. It has become the first choice for building street lighting in many countries and regions. However, how to choose a cost-effective solar street light? This article will provide you with some useful suggestions.

Part 1 What is solar street light?

Solar street light is a product that does not need to be built for power supply, but only needs to be converted into electrical energy through solar energy. It is mainly composed of these components: solar panels, LED light sources, batteries, controllers and other parts.

When there is sunlight during the day, the solar panel absorbs the energy of the sunlight and converts it into electrical energy to charge the battery, and then the battery generates electricity at night and the street light is on. At present, there are mainly three types of solar street lights: general solar street light, two in one solar street light, and all in one solar street light.

To buy good quality solar street lights, you need to know the following information.

Have a look at manufacturers' reputation

Whether in the street lamp industry or other industries, companies want to become bigger and stronger, it is very difficult, so we must first look at the reputation of street lamp manufacturers. A manufacturer with a good reputation will naturally not provide bad quality products. If most people think it is bad, the reputation will definitely not be good. To know whether this street lamp manufacturer has a good reputation, it is necessary to look it through various platforms on the Internet, and check the reviews of how people said about that.

Check detailed configuration

If you want to choose a more cost-effective solar street light, you must check the detailed configuration of the product. Things that are too complicated can be avoided, but the power of the lamp, the size of the battery board, the capacity of the battery, etc. will all be looked at. If possible, go with a professional person and ask for the practical information.

Know warranty time

Under normal circumstances, the warranty period of solar street lights is 1-3 years. The longer the warranty period, the better the quality of the product and surely the higher the price.

Consider manufacturer strength

The strength of the manufacturer is a very important factor you need to consider. If a manufacturer has strong strength, then the scale of the factory must be large, and there will be many suppliers. They can have multiple choices, and they can also transfer profits to customers. Not only that, a strong manufacturer can provide you with more suggestions and more professional services. For example, EXC Company is a professional, very powerful manufacturer that can provide high-quality solar street lights and lighting solutions. This company has participated in many large street lighting projects all around the world. 

Compared with traditional ordinary street lights, choosing solar street lights can achieve higher cost performance. Although the price is more expensive as a whole, it has more advantages in terms of performance.
