Why Install Solar Panel Street Lights in Countryside?

Life in countryside can be hard sometimes due to the lack of electricity. 60% of the rural areas in the world are off-grid. Take China as an example. China's population without electricity is mainly distributed in remote areas with harsh natural conditions and scattered residences and areas where ethnic minorities gather. Why are these places without electricity? The construction is difficult and the construction cost is high. Solar lighting is especially significant in these areas. As long as there is abundant solar light, the solar panel will absorb the solar energy, transfer the solar energy into electricity and store the electricity in rechargeable battery. The solar panel street lights solve the lighting problem in remote areas. In this article, we will go into details for why install solar panel street lights in countryside.

1. Infrastructure costs

In some remote areas, with special terrain conditions, it is very difficult to transport materials. For example, the Tibet area of China has an average elevation of more than 3,800 meters. Due to the harsh terrain conditions and high construction costs, some material transportation can only be carried by people. It is difficult and takes a long time to build a power grid that can supply power to vast remote areas. Therefore, traditional street lamps are not an ideal power supply solution for rural areas. Solar power is more convenient for rural areas.

2. The use cost of solar panel street lights is low

Solar panel street lights are powered by solar energy and do not need to use power resources. There is also no need to lay wires and cables like traditional street lights, which can save a lot of manpower and material resources. In the past, we have always used traditional street lights. If we use more electricity, it is very likely that there will be a shortage of electricity supply. If solar panel street lights are installed, these factors do not need to be considered. Because solar energy is a renewable resource, it is inexhaustible. Moreover, it is energy-saving and environmentally friendly, and there is no pollution. Solar panel street light is a one-time investment, it has a long service life, and it is very convenient, and it can continue to benefit for a long time. Moreover, its maintenance cost is also very low, and there will be no major problems.

3. Energy saving and environmental protection

Solar energy has a wide range of applications, as long as there is a place where solar energy can shine. Whether it is a prosperous city or a mountainous country, it can be used. Other power generation methods are severely restricted by geographical location and are very unsuitable for many places. The technological content of solar panel street lights is relatively high now, and the configuration is relatively smart. In the process of use, the automatic switch can be adjusted according to the brightness of the light to adapt to different use scenarios. Reasonable use of sunlight, more reflects the significance of energy saving and environmental protection.

4. The solar panel street light uses LED light source

We all know that the high-performance solar panel street lights on the market now basically use LED light sources. LED street lights have good color rendering, low light decay, high luminous efficiency, and a long service life. Solar led street lamps can basically meet the needs of night lighting in rural areas; new rural construction is a systematic and comprehensive project, and lighting facilities play a very important role. Not only can it bring light to people's travel and activities in the dark, but well-planned lighting facilities are also a scenic line.

5. The safety of solar panel street lights is very good

Solar energy is very safe and reliable, equipped with an intelligent controller, which can balance the current and voltage of the battery, and can also intelligently power off. And it uses direct current, the voltage is only 12V or 24V, there will be no leakage. There will be no accidents such as electric shock and fire. Some rural areas are still wooden houses. If a fire occurs, the wood will burn very dangerously. In addition, the fire-fighting facilities in rural areas are not perfect. If an accident occurs, rescue operations will be slower.

Now more and more new rural areas choose to use solar panel street lights. In all aspects, solar panel street lights are more economical, safe and reliable than traditional street lights.
