In order to save energy and reduce consumption, many places will give priority to solar street lights when installing street lights. Compared with traditional street lights, solar street lights use clean and renewable solar resources as the power source for lighting. At present, there are many solar street lights on the market, with different types and different prices. The price of solar street lights is mainly determined by its configuration. The reasonable configuration of solar street lights can meet the lighting needs of customers, and can also help customers save money. Because the higher the configuration of solar street lights, the more expensive the light. How to design a reasonable configuration of solar street lights is a problem that many users care about. This is related to whether the customer can get the highest return with the least investment.
Before installing solar lights, you need to know the amount of local sunshine. The effect of solar lighting is the most core factor affecting street lighting. Factors that generally affect the effect of solar light, such as housing construction, trees and plants, etc. If there are tall buildings or plants in the installation area, it is easy to block the solar panels and affect their ability to absorb solar energy. We must determine the local sunshine time in order to choose the appropriate solar panel power. If the sunshine time is short, it is necessary to increase the power of the solar panel to ensure that the charging is completed within the limited sunshine time to meet the lighting at night.
Environmental factors. Before installing solar street lights, you need to understand the local climatic conditions, that is, the number of consecutive rainy days. Because there is basically no solar light on cloudy and rainy days, solar panels cannot charge the battery by absorbing solar energy. At this time, it is necessary to rely on the excess power stored in the battery to supply power to the street lamp, so it is necessary to determine the number of consecutive rainy days to select a battery with a suitable capacity. When the solar street light is configured, if the battery capacity is too small or the setting of the solar street light controller is not in line with the actual local conditions, the brightness of the street light may decrease after the continuous cloudy and rainy days exceed 3 days. However, once the number of local cloudy and rainy days often exceeds the setting of the controller, it will bring a huge burden to the battery, resulting in premature aging of the battery, reduced service life and other damage. Therefore, the battery should be equipped with full consideration of local weather conditions and the capacity of other accessories.
Determine the height of the pole of the street lamp according to the road environment. Generally, it can be used in sub-roads, parks, residential quarters and other places or on the demand side, but the light poles should not be too high, generally 4-6 meters. solar street light manufacturers generally determine the height of the light pole according to the width of the road. For example, the height of a single-sided street light ≥ the width of the road, the height of a two-sided symmetrical street light = half the width of the road, and the height of a double-sided zigzag street light is at least the width of the road 70%, so as to bring the best lighting effect. The design of solar street lights should consider its use area, climatic conditions and other factors to design parameter configuration. Although the higher the configuration, the better the lighting effect, but the cost should also be considered. Generally, street lamp projects are purchased in large quantities. If the price of each street lamp increases a little, the budget of the entire project will increase a lot.
Choose a suitable light source. solar street lights generally use high-efficiency and energy-saving light sources. The light source currently used in solar street lights is LED light source. The LED light source is an energy-saving product, the luminous efficiency is relatively high among many light sources, and it only needs to consume a small amount of electricity. At the same time, it has a long service life.
The flexibility of solar street lights is relatively large, and different system configurations can be formed according to the different requirements of customers. Therefore, customers should choose a scientific and reasonable configuration plan according to actual needs in order to obtain higher product cost performance. There are indeed many low-cost solar street lights on the market, but it is recommended not to pursue low cost blindly. When you buy street lights at a preferential price, you must ensure the performance of the product.
