How to Choose Solar Streetlight?

There are too many solar streetlight manufacturers in the market now, with a wide range of categories and uneven product quality. In addition, in recent years, the market competitiveness has continued to increase. Many solar streetlight manufacturers have taken risks and cut corners in order to gain a foothold in the competition. The life of the street lamp is shortened and the failure rate increases. So how should we choose high-quality solar street lights?

1. Look at the accessories procurement channels

In order to save costs, some incompetent manufacturers have made a big fuss on the accessories of solar streetlights, purchasing some unqualified accessories, such as: solar panels, light sources, etc. from some irregular accessory manufacturers, with low prices and quality. They can only meet the needs of customers at low prices, but they can't give customers the quality assurance they really need.

2. Look at the solar streetlight manufacturer

Generally speaking, with strong strength and good reputation, the quality of the street lamp housing produced by the manufacturer is naturally better. We can see the formal manufacturers from their qualifications, qualification certificates, and the reputation of the general public.

3. Judgment of performance components

The solar streetlight system is mainly composed of controller, solar panel, battery, light source, light pole, auxiliary materials and other materials.

1. Controller: Is it a microcomputer intelligent controller? Does it have multiple functions such as overcharging, overdischarging, and waterproofing?

2. Solar panel: Consider the panel's color difference, charging current, material, conversion efficiency and other factors.

3. Battery: It is necessary to understand the specific type, discharge rate, working environment, etc.

4. Light source: Choosing a branded light source is an important step to ensure quality.

5. Light poles and accessories: it depends on the material. Most manufacturers use low-quality steel and cold-galvanized surfaces, resulting in poor wind resistance, poor surface treatment processes, and color fading.
