Smart Solar Street Light: Core of Smart City

With the application of modern urban science and technology and the rapid development of economic strength, urban green lighting has played a significant role in urban construction, which is of great significance for transforming urban development methods, shaping urban characteristics, and improving urban environmental quality.

The maturity of intelligent interconnection technology and Internet of Things technology has enabled urban lighting to move toward an intelligent road, and the concept of "smart city" has been implemented. It has become a market that is currently competing in various related industries. As the entrance of a smart city, smart solar street lights have the characteristics of "net, point, and poles". Smart solar street lights are the key node of smart city construction, which can avoid waste of resources caused by repeated construction and is the main carrier of smart cities.

Smart solar street lights can expand the application of various functions of smart cities, such as smart lighting, deployment of 5G micro base stations, smart new energy charging, smart security, safe cities, smart city management, smart transportation, smart parking, urban WIFI and other multi-functional modules.

1 . Low lighting consumption

Smart solar street lights can automatically adjust the brightness of street lights according to road traffic conditions and lighting conditions, which not only ensures that the brightness of the lighting meets the standards of public lighting, but also avoids waste. The energy-saving rate of intelligent adjustment is more than 40% under normal circumstances, and can reach 80% in some environments.

2. Long lamp lifespan

Smart solar street lights realize on-demand lighting, which can reduce the working time and load of the lamps and extend the lifespan of the lamps. For LED lamps, the working life can be prolonged by more than 20%.

3. Natural IoT platform

Smart solar street lights have a complete and independent power supply system, which can meet the communication and electricity needs without laying cables. Mesh distribution is one of the biggest features of street lights, which can help realize networked distribution without blind spots.

4. Improve management

Smart solar street lights can accurately collect and scientifically analyze the operating data of public lighting, which can assist the management department in scientific decision-making; it has a lighting fault warning function, which can predict and quickly notify maintenance personnel in advance and locate the fault location, shorten the troubleshooting cycle and improve the brightness of public lighting. The lamp rate effectively reduces maintenance costs.

In general, with the popularization of smart and interconnected lighting, smart solar street lights no longer have only lighting functions, but will also create a smart city application ecosystem to help city operations and maintenance; it can not only achieve significant results in energy saving and emission reduction, but also reduce crime rate, ensure traffic safety and even improve economic development. With the support of policies, the field of smart solar street lights in China is developing rapidly with the development of smart cities and the Internet of Things. The market scale is expanding rapidly, and many cities have begun to adopt smart street lighting technology.
