Solar street lights are raised light sources,
which are powered by photovoltaic panels generally mounted on the lighting structure or integrated in the pole itself. The photovoltaic panels charge a rechargeable battery, which powers a fluorescent or LED lamp during the night.
Various range of LED Street light products we offer:
Major Components of Solar Street Light
Solar Panel
Solar panel converts solar energy into electricity. There are 2 types of solar panel: mono-crystalline and poly-crystalline. Solar panel varies from wattage systems.
LED
LED is usually used as lighting source of modern solar street light, as the LED will provide much higher Lumens with lower energy consumption. The energy consumption of LED fixture is at least 50% lower than HPS fixture, which is widely used as lighting source in Traditional street lights. LEDs lack of warm up time also allows for use of motion detectors for additional efficiency gains.
Rechargeable Battery
Battery will store the electricity from solar panel during the day and provide energy to the fixture during night. The life cycle of the battery is very important to the lifetime of the light and the capacity of the battery will affect the backup days of the lights. There are usually 2 types of batteries which are primarily used now a days : Lithium-ion/ Lithium Ferro Phosphate battery and Lead Acid Battery.
Controller
Battery will store the electricity from solar panel during the day and provide energy to the fixture during night. The life cycle of the battery is very important to the lifetime of the light and the capacity of the battery will affect the backup days of the lights. There are usually 2 types of batteries which are primarily used now a days : Lithium-ion/ Lithium Ferro Phosphate battery and Lead Acid Battery.
Controller
Controller usually decide to switch on /off charging and lighting.
Pole
Strong Poles are necessary to solar street lights as there are often components mounted on the top of the pole: fixtures, panels and sometimes batteries. However, in some newer designs, the PV panels and all electronics are integrated in the pole itself.
