Solar Street Light VS Traditional Street Light

In terms of the current development trend of new energy, solar street light are undoubtedly in line with the current energy saving development needs, not only in urban roads, solar street light have been all over the countryside, providing great support for energy saving and environmental protection.

Solar street light and traditional street light have below 3 differences:

1. In terms of cost

From the perspective of traditional street lamp products, installation requires laying cables, which not only requires labor, but also cable costs. And the cost of electricity consumption in the process of use is not small.From the point of view of the solar street lamp, the installation process can be completed without laying cables.In use, all the solar energy is used to complete the lighting, so the cost savings are good.

2. The comparison of service life.

When solar energy is used as an energy street light product, people can know that the street light will last longer than the traditional street light.This is not only directly related to the high technology in the production process, but also directly related to the streetlight products in the use of maintenance-free and various accessories of high quality, which can be well controlled.

3. Energy conservation and environmental protection

After comprehensively mastering these corresponding contents, we can better grasp the difference between solar street light and traditional street light.You can also learn that the streetlight product is also very environmentally friendly.The product does not generate any radiation during use, so it will not cause any damage to the actual environment.

Why are solar streetlights more expensive than conventional ones?

The constant changes of municipal policies, we find that the traditional street lamps around us are slowly being replaced by solar street lamps.Many people think that the cost of solar street light is much higher than that of traditional street light.Therefore, it is suggested not to replace the traditional street light, maintain the previous state, and reduce some road administration expenses. So why are solar street light more expensive than conventional ones?

First, both have something in common.The head light source of the solar street light is also LED, and the quality of the lamp pole is the same. One uses the power supply and the other uses the controller.The prices of these three components are almost the same. Solar street light has more accessories than the traditional street light : solar panels, solar battery, battery box.So the price is going to be higher.

Generally speaking, the bigger the more expensive. For traditional street light, the higher the configuration, the higher the price needs to be raised are lamps, lamp poles and power supply.However, for solar street light, the higher the configuration means that solar panels, batteries, lamps and lamp poles need to increase the cost, which is why the price of solar street llight is higher than that of LED street light.

Although the price of solar street light is higher than that of traditional street light, considering the unique advantages of solar street light, such as no electricity, intelligent working mode, no wiring installation, simple maintenance and other advantages, even though the price is high, it is still very favored by the market.

Solar street light price composition is determined according to the actual use demand configuration, in addition, too cheap products had better not choose, a point of price a point of goods, too cheap product quality is not guaranteed.

Which is better between solar street light and traditional street light?

The light source of solar street light is a kind of renewable and environmentally friendly energy, which is endless and has no pollution and radiation to the environment. If the residential community uses solar street light, it can reduce the property cost, but also reduce the owners expenses.So which is better, solar street light or traditional street light?

1. Working principle

The working principle of solar street lights, by solar panels collect sunlight, effective daylighting time for 10 oclock in the morning to around 4 PM (in the north in summer, for example), converts light energy into electrical energy, through the controller will electricity into prefabricated colloidal battery, the sun goes down, insufficient light, led solar panels below 5 v voltage, daylighting. The controller will automatically activate the street lamp and start lighting.

2. Range of application

Solar street light is suitable for the region that power resourece is poor. As some area are affected by these factors such as environment and construction difficulties, solar street light is good choice.There are some rural hedgerows and highway center area, this thread overhead, the sun insolates,thunderstorm electric shocks and other factors, easy to lead to lamp damage or excessive aging of the wire lead to circuit break.If go underground, you have to pay a high price for pipe jacking, so solar street light are the best choice.Similarly, in areas with sufficient power resources and convenient line connections, 220V street lamps are a good choice.

3. Service life

In terms of service life, if LED street light are used, 220v street light have a slight advantage under the condition of the same brand and quality, because LED street light themselves have been very energy saving.at this time, although solar energy does not need 220V voltage, that is to say, it does not need electricity.However, the cost of replacing the battery every 5 years or so is much higher than the cost of a 220v ac street lamp (only for LED lamps, except for high-pressure sodium lamps).

4. Lamp configuration

Whether ac 220v street light, or solar street light, now the mainstream light is LED light source. Because this light source has the advantages of energy saving and environmental protection, super long life, rural street light pole in 6-8 meters high, can be configured with 20W-40WLED light source (equivalent to 60W-120W energy-saving lamp brightness).

5. Disadvantages of each

Disadvantages of solar street lights is that the battery must be replaced every 5 years or so. Affected by rainy days, the general configuration of the battery after three consecutive rainy days, the battery power will be exhausted, can no longer provide night lighting. The night lighting time cannot be adjusted online uniformly (there are many differences between winter and summer lighting time, so you need to adjust the time one by one). Disadvantages of 220V AC street lamp: can not adjust the current of LED light source, resulting in the whole lighting period is full power, in the late night when there is no need for too much lighting brightness is still full power, waste of energy. As long as there is a problem with the main cable of lamps and lanterns, it is difficult to deal with (underground and overhead are very troublesome) short circuit, have to be investigated one by one, light can be connected to repair, the heavy need to replace the whole cable. Because the lamp pole is the main body of steel, strong conductivity, if the occurrence of electricity in the rainy day, 220V voltage will endanger life safety.

What are the future production trends of solar street lamp?

The lighting effect is better guaranteed. Although the lighting effect of solar street lamp is very good now, in order to better focus on such street lighting products, it is also understood that street lighting has temperature and various aspects of adaptation.Therefore, how to make lamp products suitable for more occasions through technological breakthroughs is the next problem.
