The lifespan of solar street lights is quite long. To ensure this extended lifespan, it is essential to maintain the efficiency and longevity of the solar panels. However, the heat island effect can reduce the working efficiency and lifespan of solar panels. We need to prevent the heat island effect of solar panels. Next, we will explore what causes the heat island effect in solar panels.
The heat island effect of solar street lights is primarily influenced by external factors. Generally, these external factors are the main causes of the heat island effect in solar panels. During the production of solar panels, it is essential to consider how to mitigate the internal heat island effect. If the solar panel components are obstructed by other objects for an extended period, a heat island effect will occur.
To prevent damage to solar street light batteries due to the heat island effect, it is necessary to connect a bypass diode in parallel between the anode and cathode of the solar panel components. Its function is to provide a current path when the module is opened or shaded, preventing the failure of the entire series of solar panel modules. This also avoids the energy produced by illuminated solar panel modules from being consumed by the shaded solar panel modules.
