Precautions for the Use of Solar Street Lamp

In recent years, with the country's strong support for environmental protection and the development of solar power lamp industry technology, more and more places have begun to use solar power lamps. The reason why solar power lamps are so popular is that they have the advantages of energy saving, safety, environmental protection, high-tech content, durability, low maintenance costs, and independent power supply. Many new friends do not have enough knowledge about solar power lamps, thinking that solar energy resources cannot always provide the electricity needed for lighting, and there may be power outages. In fact, with the continuous development of solar power lamp technology, this situation will never occur. In this article, we will introduce the working principle of solar street lamp and the precautions when using it.

Solar power lamp is composed of solar panels, solar intelligent controllers, battery packs, light sources, light poles and brackets. It uses solar panels to receive solar energy during the day and convert it into electrical energy, which is stored in a storage battery through an intelligent controller. At night, the illuminance gradually decreases, and the charge and discharge controller detects that the led solar street light should be lit, and the battery discharges to the lamp holder. The DC controller can ensure that the battery is not damaged due to overcharging or overdischarging, and has functions such as light control, time control, temperature compensation and lightning protection.

Solar power lamps are outdoor lighting fixtures, and they are used in a harsh environment, often encountering windy and heavy rain. So when using it, you need to know some precautions.

Avoid letting hard objects or sharp objects hit the solar power lamp battery panel, which may damage the solar panel. Solar panels are important accessories that absorb solar energy and convert it into electrical energy. If the solar panel is damaged, the power conversion rate will be greatly reduced, which will affect the lighting effect of the street lamp.

Avoid allowing other objects (such as tree branches, billboards, etc.) to cover the surface of the solar panel during use, otherwise it will affect the conversion efficiency. The solar panel is blocked, which is easy to cause the heat island effect and cause damage to the solar panel.

Confirm the integrity of the solar panels before installation. If it is in the northern hemisphere, the solar power lamp installation needs to be inclined at an angle of 30 degrees toward the south. Simply put, solar panels need to face the direction of sunlight. As much as possible to ensure that the solar panels can absorb the most sunlight.

Be sure to distinguish the positive and negative poles when wiring. The connection of the wire should be firmly connected and wrapped with PVC tape. This way, better rain protection.

The light pole and battery can be checked every six months for damage. Because the service life of the light pole is about 15 years, the service life of the battery is 5-7 years.

During use, the solar panels need to be cleaned and maintained regularly (the time depends on the actual situation). Keep the surface of the solar panel clean, otherwise it will affect the conversion efficiency.

As a green and environmentally friendly lighting fixture, the use of solar power lamps is very beneficial to our country and the people. If you want to extend its service life, you must pay more attention to construction and actual use. The above precautions for using solar power lamps are shared here for everyone. solar power lamps do not need to dig pits to bury the wires, they are very convenient to install, do not need to spend a lot of money, and are a good choice for night lighting.
