The status quo of rural solar street lights

Because the country has vigorously carried out the construction of new rural areas in recent years, solar street lights have been installed in the vast rural areas. Since the previous few years was the stage when solar energy was just booming, solar energy technology is not as mature as it is now, and the current situation of rural solar street lights is not optimistic. Below, I will lead others to understand the current status of rural solar street lights.

First, the brightness of rural solar street lights is dim

In order to pursue profit, many unscrupulous merchants in the market falsely report the configuration of solar street lights purchased by engineering companies, cut corners, and reduce the power of photovoltaic panels and battery capacity. This leads to unsatisfactory actual lighting effects and dim brightness of solar street lights. Coupled with the ordinary LED chip used in the light source, the light attenuation is large and the lumen value is low, resulting in darker brightness.

2. The service life is short, and many rural solar street lights have stopped lighting

Some manufacturers use batteries with fewer cycles, resulting in a short service life for rural solar street lights. Moreover, the life of a normal battery is about five years. In rural areas where solar street lights were installed five years ago, because there was no special fund to replace the battery, the battery failed and the solar street lights stopped lighting.

3. The high rate of theft of solar batteries

Because in the past few years, the colloidal batteries used in rural solar street lights were buried in the ground. The second-hand recycling price is high and easy to be stolen. Nowadays, solar lithium batteries are used, which are installed on the top of street light poles, which is troublesome for theft, because the theft rate of colloidal batteries is higher than that of lithium batteries.

The above is the status quo of rural solar street lights, so the editor believes that when purchasing, the majority of engineers must find a formal and powerful solar street light manufacturer, so that the product quality and service life can be guaranteed.
