How To Effectively Maintain Solar Power Street Lamp?

Street lamps are messengers of light, bringing people light in the dark. As China's urbanization process continues to accelerate, the sales of road lights are increasing year by year. The two main lamps for outdoor lighting are traditional electric street lights and solar power street lamps. Solar power street lamps have become more and more popular in recent years, and there is a trend to replace traditional electric street lights. The service life of solar power street lamps is not only related to the quality of various accessories, but also closely related to subsequent maintenance. Solar power street lamps are composed of solar panels, controllers, batteries, etc., which are more complicated than conventional street lights. Therefore, in order to ensure the continuous operation of solar power street lamps, daily inspection and maintenance are usually carried out on a monthly basis.

1. Weather

In summer, there is a lot of convective weather, and severe conditions such as strong winds and heavy rains are encountered. After that, pay attention to check the overall sealing performance of the solar panels, light poles, lamp caps, and circuits, and check whether there are circuit cracks or unstable foundations. After all, if the solar power street lamp enters the water, there will definitely be problems.

2. The azimuth angle of the solar panel should be placed correctly

The solar panel should face the direction of sunlight. If the solar power street lamp is installed in the northern hemisphere, usually the solar panels are facing south, depending on the specific location, there are different biases. The orientation of the solar panel directly affects the brightness of the solar street lamp, so tall buildings and trees should not block the solar panel, so as to ensure that the solar panel can fully absorb solar energy. Professional solar street lamp manufacturers usually design the best inclination angle for solar panels according to the sunshine conditions and latitude and longitude of the street lamp installation area. At the same time, there should be no direct light source above the solar panel. Because the solar street light is switched on and off according to light control, once a direct light source appears above the solar panel, the street light may sense an error, thinking that it is still in the daytime, and thus will not turn on the light.

3. The location of the battery

The placement of solar batteries should be breathable, waterproof and anti-theft, so they are generally installed in the base of the light pole. When the solar street lamp is working normally, it is necessary to check the charging and discharging process of the battery frequently to observe whether there is corrosion in the electrode or wiring. If this situation exists, it must be dealt with in time to avoid unnecessary losses.

4. Check the circuit regularly

There are many solar power street lamp system components, and each component needs to be connected with wires, then a terminal will be generated. If the installation is not fixed firmly at the beginning of the installation, the terminal will be loose under the action of external force, which will cause poor contact in the circuit of the solar power street lamp system, Which affects its normal operation.

5. Keep the surface of the solar panel clean

The lighting surface of the solar cell module should be kept clean at all times. If the solar panel is covered with leaves or other impurities, it should be cleaned in time to prevent the heat island effect from causing damage to the panel; first rinse with clean water, and then gently wipe the water stains with a clean gauze. Do not use hard objects or corrosion Rinse and test with solvents;
