6 Practical Solutions For Solar Street Lamp Problems

With the introduction of the green development policy, clean energy such as solar energy and wind energy have gradually entered our lives. Solar street lamps are now very popular clean and environmentally friendly lighting products. These lights absorb solar energy during the day, convert it into electrical energy and store it in the battery, and then use electrical energy to power street lights at night to provide illumination for pedestrians. Solar powered street lamps with motion sensors are installed not only in cities, but also in many rural areas. Its popularity has brought a lot of convenience to our lives. But the solar street lamp is an independent power generation system and does not need to rely on the power grid to generate electricity. New users who have not used solar street lights may encounter some problems and think that the quality of the street lights is problematic. It is necessary for us to understand these problems and know the methods to solve them.

1. How to repair the solar street lamp if it doesn't turn on?

First of all, we can detect the controller of the street light, which is the core of the solar street lamp. If the controller gets water, it is probably damaged. We also check other accessories of solar powered street lamps, such as batteries, light sources, solar panels and so on. These inspections are more professional, you can first consult the manufacturer of the street light, and under the guidance of the professional manufacturer, troubleshoot one by one. In addition to these accessories, we must also check whether the circuit of the street light is damaged.

2. Can solar street lamps be charged in rainy days?

Solar panels can also be charged in rainy days, but the amount of charge varies according to the degree of rainy days. Solar street lamps with motion sensors are equipped with battery charging and discharging devices, which will recharge by themselves when the sun is sufficient, and rely on battery power to maintain lighting on cloudy and rainy days. The solar panel has a large charging capacity under the strong sunlight of the sun. In cloudy or rainy days, the sun's light is weak, and the charging capacity is relatively weak, so the charging capacity is very small. If there is no sun at all, there is no need to worry about the lighting of solar powered street lamps. When the solar road light is designed at the beginning, it can be configured according to the customer's needs. EXC solar street lamps can support up to 15 consecutive days of continuous rainy and cloudy lighting.

3. Do solar panels need to face south?

China is located in the northern hemisphere, and the sun shines directly from the south, so only the photovoltaic modules facing south can fully absorb the solar light. If the photovoltaic module faces north, it will not absorb sunlight. Therefore, in order to ensure daylighting, solar energy should make full use of light energy, and make the best tilt design according to the local sunshine situation to ensure the maximum power generation. Simply put, just let the sun shine directly on the solar panel.

4. Is the solar panel fragile?

The solar panel is not as fragile and brittle as we think. It is made of polycrystalline or monocrystalline solar cells. The surface layer is laminated with fairly strong tempered glass, and the frame is firmly fixed. As long as it is not man-made damage, solar panels are rarely damaged. Some customers worry that solar street light systems will be damaged during transportation. In fact, as long as they are packaged properly, there is no need to worry about this problem.

5. How much electricity can solar street lamps produce?

The configuration of solar street lamps is different, the electricity generated and the lighting time are naturally different. The configuration of solar powered street lamps is generally determined according to the local environment and the lighting requirements of customers. Normally, when choosing the solar street lamp, the street light manufacturer will configure the parameters of the solar road light according to the actual local conditions. Therefore, the solar street light is actually a customized product. We must find a professional manufacturer to provide cost-effective solar street lamps.

6. Do we need to clean the solar panels frequently?

Under normal circumstances, it is not necessary to clean the solar panels frequently. But it can also be determined according to local conditions. In most areas, the panels can be cleaned with sufficient rainfall. In areas with relatively heavy sands, they can be washed frequently in winter but less in summer. During the cleaning process, do not step on or stand on the solar panel, and do not use metal or hard objects for wiping and cleaning. When cleaning, wipe it with a damp cloth, keep the movement in the same direction, do not rub back and forth, and the intensity should be moderate.
