We all know that solar street lights rely on solar energy for their normal operation. As solar street lights become more widely used, questions have arisen. Some people believe that solar street lights are too limited; if the weather is poor, solar street lights cannot be used, which can seriously impact people’s lives. However, it is worth noting that with the continuous development of modern technology, this issue has been completely resolved through high-tech means. So, what should be noted regarding how solar street lights are affected by weather?
1. Low temperatures can affect the charging and discharging of solar street light batteries, preventing them from meeting design standards. The amount of electric energy converted by the solar panel is related to the panel’s material, installation angle, and local sunlight availability. If you want to ensure that solar street lights maintain functionality during prolonged rainy days, increasing the battery capacity and improving the conversion rate of the solar panel are viable technical solutions.
2. In summer, street lights can be submerged in rainwater. The waterproof rating of the street lights should be above IP65, and they can be used outdoors without any problem. However, issues may arise due to improper installation or quality problems from some manufacturers, leading to leaks that prevent the lights from turning on. In such cases, street light replacement is generally required.
3. During summer, we often observe street light poles leaning towards the ground due to strong winds and heavy rain. As a complete system, solar street lights can have damaged components for various reasons during use, which necessitates investigation by professional maintenance and inspection personnel.
4. If the temperature is too high, it can affect the battery capacity and shorten its lifespan. To avoid this situation, it is best to choose solar street lights with an integrated design for the lamp head, battery, and controller during the initial selection process.
The above points regarding the effects of weather on solar street lights have been shared here. Additionally, dust and dirt on the surface of solar panels can also affect their conversion efficiency. Therefore, it is important to regularly clean the solar street lights, especially on busy city roads.
