How to install solar street lights on rural roads?

At present, the living conditions in the countryside are getting better and better, and the country is paying more and more attention to the countryside. Lighting facilities have been installed on rural roads in many rural areas to ensure the safety of villagers' travel at night and enrich the nightlife in rural areas. Since the installation of commercial street lights in rural areas is limited by various conditions, rural solar street lights are very popular in rural areas, because solar street lights do not need to be connected to electricity and are easy to install and maintain.

However, while bringing convenience to people, it also exposes some problems, especially when choosing the installation location, many people install solar street lights under trees or in the shade, resulting in solar panels being blocked and unable to fully absorb sunlight, which reduces the photoelectric conversion efficiency and affects the normal lighting of solar street lights at night.

Therefore, when installing solar street lights, you must pay attention to the installation spacing or the height of the light pole. In some rural areas, where roads are only a few kilometers long, solar street lights are also installed. However, the installation spacing is uneven, some are close to each other and some are far apart. If the installation is too close, resources will be wasted, and if the installation distance is too large, it will cause lighting blind spots. Therefore, when installing solar street lights, the installation point must be selected scientifically and reasonably.

Under normal circumstances, the traffic volume on rural roads is not large, but the passage of large trucks must be ensured. Therefore, during installation, it is generally enough to choose a light pole with a height of 6 meters. Installing solar street lights at a distance of 20-30 meters is more efficient. Appropriate, can not only ensure the demand for road lighting but also avoid wasting redundant resources.
