Why Solar Street Lamps Are More Suitable for Rural Areas?
Municipal circuit lights and solar street lamps are widely used in rural areas. Circuit lights provide lighting by electricity, while solar street lamps are powered by solar energy, which is renewable and environmentally friendly. In contrast, which type is more suitable for rural lighting?
1. Lamp installation
Laying cable is necessary for the installation of traditional street lights, which is complicated to install, while solar LED street lights are easy to install and do not need to lay cables. Each solar street lamp is an independent power generation system, and only a cement base is needed to fix it with screws.
2. Cost
The initial investment of traditional street lights is relatively low, but it consumes a fixed amount of electricity every day. The accumulated electricity cost is not a small amount. Solar street lamps have a high initial installation cost, but once the installation is completed, the electricity bill will no longer be incurred. The photovoltaic system of the solar street lamp provides electricity, which is a one-time investment. During the day, the solar panel will convert the solar energy into the electricity and store the electricity in the battery. The battery will provde lighting in the night. And the cost can be recovered within 3 years.
3. Street lighting maintenance
Solar street lights are composed of LED light source, solar panels, batteries (lithium batteries), light poles, solar street lamp controllers, etc., among which the battery is prone to problems. If you buy a low-quality battery, you will need to maintain and replace it every 2-3 years, resulting in maintenance costs. However, if you buy a high performance battery, you will only need to replace it in 5-8 years. The cables laid in the installation of traditional street lamps also require regular maintenance of the lines and other configurations, and the maintenance cost is also a considerable expense. For the problems of solar street lamps, professional solar street lamp manufacturer will usually offer solutions. There is no need to worry.
4. Solar street lamp safety
We know that the electricity of traditional street lights comes from wire and cable transmission, while traditional city electricity is high-voltage alternating current. Solar street lamps provide electricity through low-voltage direct current. Scientific experiments have proved that alternating current is more harmful to the human body than direct current. When people are exposed to direct current, they will not cause special damage even if it reaches 250 milliampere-hours. When exposed to 50HZ alternating current for tens of seconds, it may cause heart and ventricular fibrous vibration. Some accidents caused by electric poles are related to this.
Therefore, in rural areas, ordinary people are more inclined to solar street lamps. Because it is environmentally friendly, energy-saving, no consumption, easy to install and easy to maintain.
