How to choose a suitable solar street light?

Solar street light is a kind of light source powered by solar energy. Solar street lamp is commonly used for outdoor lighting in various public lighting places. Outdoor solar public lighting places include parks, roads, highways, community roads, etc. These places have minimum standards for brightness and solar street lightings are usually required to be lit all night. The lifespan of the lights is 3 to 5 years or even longer. For example, solar street lights usually have a minimum average brightness of 15 lux.

How to choose a suitable solar street light?

To purchase a high performance solar street light, lots of factors need to be considered. Below are some significant factors when choosing solar street lamps.

1. Type of solar panel

Solar panel is a device that directly or indirectly converts solar radiation energy into electrical energy through photoelectric effect or photochemical effect by absorbing sunlight. The main material of most solar panels is "silicon", but the cost of production is relatively high. It is so large that it has certain limitations in its universal use. Each panel comes with different power output so this means that a panel can generate over 250-300 watts of power. Panels with high voltage are usually very effective and efficient. They are usually expensive. When choosing solar panels, monocrystalline silicon solar panels have a higher photoelectric conversion rate than polycrystalline silicon and amorphous silicon solar panels, reducing light loss, improving battery efficiency, and having a higher power generation rate than general solar panels;

2. Solar street light maintenance and manufacturer

All in one solar street lamps don't need much maintenance after installation, because the technology of all in one solar street lights is very mature. But the working environment has a great impact on outdoor solar lighting. Solar street light maintenance is needed. First, we should guarantee the quality of the solar street light. High performance will reduce the frequency of the maintenance.

What should we do after we need maintenanace of the solar street lights? Professional solar street light manufacturer will help us. It is important to choose a trustable solar street lamp manufacturer. EXC Streetlight has seven major street light product series: Street Lights(General), Solar Street Lights, LED Street Lights, Smart Street Lights, Tunnel Lights, Garden Lights and Control Systems.

3. Radius of light

The radius of the solar street light depends on the height of the pole. It means the scale of the area that can be covered by the light coming from the lamps. The larger the radius of the solar street light, the less the needed LED light sources. The radius of light differs according to the different power. By knowing this , we can calculate how many solar-powered street lamps that we need.
