We all know that solar street lights do not require grid power, have quick installation, are environmentally friendly, and have other advantages. However, the use of solar street lights also has its own requirements, and the installation conditions have requirements based on the geographical location. In order for solar street lights to work normally and efficiently, let me explain the installation conditions for rural solar street lights as provided by the manufacturer:
In rural areas, roads are generally narrow. When selecting the wattage for the light source of solar street lights, it is usually not necessary to choose a high wattage. Drawing from the many years of engineering experience of Sichuan Taiyi, when selecting the light source for solar street lights in rural areas of Sichuan, 10-30 watts is generally sufficient. If the road is narrow and used only for lighting, 10 watts is adequate. Typically, the selection is based on the width of the road and its usage.
1.Solar street lights have altitude restrictions, with typical solar street lights suitable for areas below 2000 meters above sea level. This includes the entire central and eastern plain regions of China, as altitude can affect the use of batteries and wiring.
2.Solar street lights operate best in temperatures ranging from -50°C to 70°C. Temperatures that are too high can prevent normal operation, while low temperatures can slow down performance.
3.The wind resistance level for solar street lights is rated at level 12, meaning they can withstand winds up to level 12 without damage, making them suitable for use in most domestic locations.
4.Solar street lights have a seismic resistance level of level 8, which means they are unlikely to be damaged unless subjected to a major earthquake. Normal areas should not experience any issues.
5.Solar street lights can function properly in areas with humidity levels below 80%. If the humidity exceeds this level, high moisture content in the air can cause electronic components to become damp and lead to unstable connections, affecting the lighting system.
When installing solar street lights, there are many requirements and considerations to keep in mind, including specific requirements for the lamp post.
The lamp post of a solar street light must comply with the current national standards for street light acceptance. The inner and outer surfaces of the lamp post are treated with hot-dip galvanizing for anti-corrosion and then powder-coated. The color should match the renderings, with a smooth surface, no discoloration, no needle holes, no dripping, no peeling, etc. The galvanizing thickness should be no less than 85 microns, and the powder coating thickness should be no less than 100 microns.
The support rod and crossbar of the solar street light are made of high-quality low-carbon steel, with no obvious dents or marks. They are also hot-dip galvanized and powder-coated like the main post.
The flange plate is plasma cut to ensure smooth edges, no burrs, a pleasing appearance, and accurate hole positioning.
The electrical door is plasma cut with precise dimensions, a smooth and flat surface, and is welded with anti-theft and grounding devices.
The copper core wiring terminal meets the national electrical industry standards.
Solar street lights are a popular type of street light fixture that uses solar energy as its power source. Not only is the price of solar street lights relatively affordable, but they also have an ideal ability to adapt to the natural environment. Below are some advantages of solar street lights:
Solar street lights operate on solar energy, leading some to worry about their performance during consecutive cloudy and rainy days. However, even in such conditions, solar street lights can function well without issues, ensuring normal lighting for vehicles and pedestrians.
In addition to being able to withstand changing weather conditions and rainy days, solar street lights can also resist strong winds. Their special support brackets help maintain their position even in high winds.
If there is abundant solar energy available, the solar panels can effectively store this energy. This allows solar street lights to not only be cost-effective but also make the most of available resources.
Overall, solar street lights are an excellent choice due to their reliability, environmental-friendliness, and cost-effectiveness.
