Solar Street Lighting System

Solar street lighting system as one part of the new energy line, now has been widely used all over the world, but how to choose a reliable solar street lighting system? How to avoid been cheated by unscrupulous merchants? 

The power of solar street lighting system depends on the road width and surrounding environment, the height depends on the road width, and the row spacing depends on the power of light sources and the secondary light distribution of lamps. Engineers usually choose LED lamps as solar street lamps, but the quality of LED lamps is very different. Even LED lamps with severe light decay, illuminance will be halved by 50% after one year of use. Therefore, the best way is to choose led lamps with long life span, high light efficiency and slow light attenuation for whole solar lighting systems.

The service life of the battery should also be considered in solar street lighting system. In the application of the whole solar street lighting system, the general battery warranty is three or five years, and the charging dissatisfaction will occur after half a year. Some fake battery actual charging rates may drop to about 50%, which will affect the whole solar street lighting system running in continuous rainy days.

The choice of controller is often a problem that easily to be ignored. The quality level of controller is uneven, and the market price of 12V / 10A controller is different. Although it is the least valuable part of the whole solar street lighting system, but it’s the most very important. The damage of the controller directly affects the service life of the solar street lighting system and the procurement cost of the whole system.

1: Select controller with high charging efficiency, it is necessary to track the maximum current of the battery panel with charging mode. Especially in winter or in the period of insufficient light, need to select charging mode 20% higher than others.

2: The controller with power regulation has been widely promoted in solar street lighting system. In the period of sparse pedestrians at night, one or two lighting channels can be automatically closed, and the power of LED lamps can be adjusted. In addition to the above power-saving functions, also we should pay attention to the controller protection function for the battery and other components. The controller selected by Phoebus light can well protect the battery and increase the service life of the battery. Moreover, the under-voltage protection value of the controller should be set to prevent the battery from over-discharging.

3: The controller is waterproof. The controller is generally installed in the lampshade and battery box, so generally there is no water inflow. However, in the actual engineering case, there is rain flowing into the controller along the connecting line, then cause short circuit. Therefore, during construction, we will bend the internal connecting line into a "U" shape and fix it, and connect the external line into a "U" shape, so that the rain can not be drenched in. Besides, waterproof glue can be applied at the interface of the internal and external lines.

Finally, pay attention to anti-theft if places far from the urban area. Otherwise, the battery will be stolen, which will not only affect the normal lighting, but also cause unnecessary property losses. In engineering cases, most of the stolen components are batteries. The buried battery is an effective anti-theft measure. If the battery box is installed on the lamp pole, it is best to weld and reinforce it.

In the practical application of solar street street lighting system, many solar street lighting systems can not meet the actual lighting needs, especially in cloudy and rainy days. Another main reason is that they blindly reduce the component cost, didn’t design and configure according to the demands, even use fake solar panels and batteries.
