The biggest advantage of solar street lights is that they are environmentally friendly and energy-saving, saving resources. It is now being vigorously promoted in my country and even the world. Because of the application of solar power generation, people can gradually eliminate some electric energy that cannot be recycled, so that this kind of electric energy can be used for a longer time. What other advantages does it have？
1.Environmental protection and energy saving: Solar street lights use the natural light source of nature, reducing the consumption of electricity.
2.Safety: AC lighting fixtures may have safety risks due to construction quality, material aging, power supply system disorders, etc. Solar street lights do not use AC current, but use solar power generation to convert low-voltage DC into light waves. There is no safety risk. The safety factor of solar street lights is very guaranteed. Therefore, the safety factor is very high and can be used with peace of mind.
3.Environmental protection: Solar street lights are zero-pollution and radiation-free, in line with contemporary low-carbon environmental awareness.
4.Durability: The production process of most solar cell components at this stage can ensure that the characteristics will not be degraded for about 10 years, and solar cell components can generate electricity for 25 years or longer.
5.Low maintenance cost: In some remote areas, the cost of maintaining or repairing basic power generation, power transmission and distribution, street lights and other equipment is very high. Solar street lights only need to be regularly inspected and maintained, and their maintenance cost is less than that of basic power generation systems, which can also save a lot of money;
6.Convenient installation components: Easy installation, which helps customers select and adjust the volume and size of solar street lights according to their own needs.
7.Independent power supply system: Off-grid solar street lights have the freedom and coordination capabilities of the power supply system.
However, solar street lights also have some disadvantages. Let’s see what they are.
1.The engineering cost of solar street lights is relatively higher
We should all understand that solar street lights contain batteries and solar panels, so its product cost is generally relatively higher than that of mains power.
2.Without the sun, there is no way to power the system
The principle of solar street lights is to absorb solar energy through solar panels, then convert it into electromagnetic energy and store it in batteries, which then charge and discharge the lighting fixtures at night. However, this principle is both its advantage and disadvantage. If solar street lights are used in areas with insufficient sunlight for a long time, they are not suitable.
3.There is a high chance of being stolen
The components inside solar street lights are quite valuable. Nowadays, many thieves are very bold. If solar street lights are installed in sparsely populated areas, they will start to steal the various components of the solar street lights and then sell them for profit.
In short, solar street lights can save installation costs, save electricity resources, and reduce water and electricity expenses. Although there are some disadvantages, in the long run, the advantages of solar street lights still exceed those of traditional street lights. I believe that in the future, the use of solar street lights will become more and more common and will become the most ideal lighting system for our cities and villages!
