Will solar street lights replace LED street lights?

In recent years, LED technology and solar technology have developed rapidly, and a large number of LED street light and solar street light have flowed to the market. They are environmentally friendly and energy-saving. There is no accurate answer as to which one is better. Everything has advantages and disadvantages, suitable and unsuitable. As a professional LED street light manufacturer, we will take you to analyze the advantages and disadvantages for led street light and solar street light briefly.

In fact, there is no big sense to compare the advantages and disadvantages of LED street lights and solar street lights. Solar street lights are, in the final analysis, a combination of LED street lights and solar energy. They use LED street lights, plus solar controllers, solar panels and batteries. It can only be said that they are suitable for installation under what conditions, which conditions are more suitable for LED street lights or solar street lights.

1. When high-power LED street light heads are required. Solar street lights are not suitable at this time, because high-power LED street light heads are high-power street lamp heads as the name suggests, and if the power is high, the required solar street lamp configuration is very high, not only the increase in the price of solar street lights, but also the high configuration. In addition, the solar panel is also too large, and it may not be installed. Therefore, it is unwise to use solar street lights at this time, and LED street lights are more suitable.

1) Solar energy is affected by weather changes. If continuous rainy days, it is impossible to guarantee the energy supply of solar street lights. There are a large number of high-rise buildings and big trees in the city, which will shade some solar panels and form shadows. Solar street lights are absorbed by solar panels. Sunlight generates photovoltaic effect, and insufficient light will reduce the lighting time.

2) The height of street lamps on both sides of urban roads is much higher than that of rural solar street lamps. If better lighting is needed, higher brightness will consume more power, and the requirements for solar panels and batteries will be higher.

3) The solar battery needs to be replaced within four to five years. Currently, most solar batteries are buried underground. Construction needs to be carried out when the battery is replaced, and urban construction is inconvenient.

2. When installing street lights in rural areas. The lighting requirements in rural areas are not very high, and the normal height of 6 meters is sufficient. If you install LED street lights, you need to lay cables, which is extremely inconvenient. And at this time, the price of LED street lights is higher than that of solar street lights, including the entire cost. Because solar street lights do not need wiring, installation is simple. So rural areas are more suitable for installing solar street lights.

The advantages of solar street lights mainly include the following:

1) Environmental protection and energy saving. Solar street lights are non-radiation and pollution-free, and are in line with the trend of green environmental protection in the world. The principle of solar street lights is to use natural light sources in nature, that is, solar light sources, to generate electricity, thereby reducing electrical energy consumption.

2) Safe and durable. If you choose the production technology of solar cell assembly developed by high-quality manufacturers, it is enough to ensure that the performance will not decline for more than ten years, and the solar cell modules can generate electricity for more than ten years.

3) High-tech content. The solar street lamp is controlled by an intelligent controller, and the brightness of the street lamp can be automatically adjusted according to the brightness requirements of the environment, with high technical content.

4) Low maintenance costs. In some remote areas, it is very expensive to maintain and repair the power transmission and conventional power generation equipment on the street lights, while the solar street lights only require periodic inspections and a small amount of maintenance, and the cost is relatively low.

In short, there is no absolute difference between LED street light and solar street light. Just like whether solar street lights use lithium batteries or gel batteries, there is no absolute, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. You should choose and judge based on your actual needs.
