Learn More About Solar Power Street Light

Solar power street lights can be seen everywhere in our lives, from urban roads to parks, from rural roads to highways. Solar powered street lights have become the important part of urban infrastructure construction and new rural construction. We all know that solar energy is a renewable clean resource. With the advancement of technology, people have been able to penetrate the use of solar energy in all aspects of life. It absorbs sunlight through photovoltaic panels, converts it into electrical energy and stores it in lithium batteries. At night, the electric energy is released to provide energy for lighting. It does not require other equipment such as cables, and all accessories are integrated for control. Solar power street lights can be said to save material resources and labor to a large extent. But there are still many people who don't know enough about solar street lights. In this lighting blog post, we will introduce some basic knowledge of solar power street lights.

1. Types of solar power street lights

According to different usages, solar lamps can be divided into: solar garden lights, solar landscape lights, solar lawn lights, solar insecticidal lights, and solar power street lights. Solar street lamps with motion sensors are the most widely used of these lamps. The traditional street lamp circuit is aging and the maintenance cost is high. And the lines are buried underground, which is very troublesome to repair. The huge annual electricity bill also brings a heavy burden to users. Many places have gradually begun to use solar street lamps to replace traditional street lamps, which not only protects the environment, but also saves energy and electricity. Compared with traditional street lamps, solar powered street light is composed of controllers, light sources, batteries, solar panels and other accessories,which has low maintenance cost,simple installation,energy-saving and enviromentally-friendly etc. If you want to configure a suitable solar power street light, you need to provide sufficient information to the street light manufacturer. Simply put,solar power street lamp is a customized product. Professional street lamp manufacturers will reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles.

It is a national high-tech company integrating LED application products and cloud control system design, R&D, production, sales and service. A technology company dedicated to providing stable and reliable integrated solutions for smart lighting and cloud control systems for global customers.

2. LED lamp holder wattage

The wattage of the LED lamp holder is generally determined according to the purpose of the street lamp, the height of the lamp pole, and the lumen value of the LED street lamp. Like general roads and scenes with fewer pedestrians, you can choose a slightly lower wattage LED lamp head. For roads and scenes where there are more pedestrians and vehicles, you can choose a slightly higher wattage LED lamp holder. In addition, the higher the pole, the higher the wattage of the LED lamp holder. If it is a 3-4 meter pole, you can choose 15-20 watts, and an 8-12 meter pole can choose a 50-100 watt LED lamp holder.

3. Street lamp spacing

According to the construction drawings and the geological situation of the survey site, the street lamp manufacturer should determine the installation position of the street lamp according to the width of the road in the place where there is no shading on the top of the street lamp. If the road width is 3-4 meters, the installation distance should be 20-25 meters; the road width is about 5-7 meters, and the installation distance should be 30-40 meters; the road width is about 8-12 meters, and the installation distance should be 30-50 meters.

4. Light pole height

Solar power street lights can generally be installed directly on the wall or on a pillar. The most suitable match is with a light pole. The height of the light pole is generally selected according to the width of the road, and try to choose the height of the light pole that is the same as the road width or slightly larger than the road width. For example: general single-lane rural roads can choose 3-4m light poles; dual-lane rural roads choose 5-7m light poles; four-lane or traffic arterial roads choose 8-12m light poles and so on.

5. Solar panel orientation

The solar panels should face the direction of the sun with the most sufficient sunshine time. In central and southern China, solar panels face exactly south. In the west and north of China, solar panels face 5 degrees west of due south. It should be noted that if there are tall buildings or trees around the solar panels, the direction of the solar panels can be adjusted appropriately, generally within 20 degrees west or east.

From the perspective of economic benefits, solar power street lights can save a lot of electricity expenses each year, and have a good profit margin; from the perspective of energy conservation and environmental protection, the power of solar street lamp with motion sensors comes from clean and renewable solar resources. Without the consumption of traditional energy, the solar street lamp is energy saving and environmental protection. It is believed that in the future, the solar street lamp industry will receive support and promotion from many parties because of its obvious economic and social benefits, and the market scale of solar street lamps will show a rapid growth trend.
