Solar Street Lights
are now widely used in remote mountainous areas, some secluded places, outdoor squares, etc. They are particularly suitable for installation in locations where accessing power sources is inconvenient. Their installation is simple and convenient, and the market prospects are very promising. So how is the design plan for solar street lights specifically developed? Let’s analyze it from several aspects below.
Different sites require different design plans; the plans cannot be static. First, designers should inspect the site to make specific data records. Solar street lights differ from traditional street lights as they use solar energy for power. This means there are certain requirements for the installation site. Specific parameters include the length and width of the section being installed, the height of any obstructions, and the direction of the road. It is important to assess whether there are tall buildings or trees that could obstruct sunlight. If such obstructions exist, they will affect solar energy collection. Generally, it is required that the solar lighting time be from 9 AM to 3 PM to ensure adequate sunlight exposure. Additionally, it is crucial that there are no overhead cables or high voltage lines in the installation area, as installing under such conditions is very risky. In terms of underground conditions, it is advisable to avoid areas with pipelines or fiber optics to prevent unnecessary complications during installation.
The battery is a vital part of the solar street light system and should not be neglected. The selection of batteries mainly depends on the local rainy weather conditions. In northern cities, a choice of 3 to 5 days is typical, while in western regions with less rain, a two-day capacity may be sufficient. In southern areas with frequent rainfall, longer durations may be appropriate. The battery capacity can be calculated as:
Battery Capacity = Load Power × Daily Working Hours × (Storage Days + 1) ÷ Discharge Depth ÷ System Voltage
. The actual design will be based on the system voltage and capacity requirements. Additionally, the issue of temperature should be considered; if the operating temperature of the battery is below -20°C, adjustments to discharge depth may be necessary, and manufacturers should be consulted for specific guidelines. Since solar street lights are primarily used outdoors, the corrosion of the lamp poles should also be taken into account. When designing lamp poles, waterproofing and anti-theft features should be considered as well.
The design of solar street lights constitutes a significant system engineering project, covering many design areas. Manufacturers of solar street lights need to possess a certain level of expertise in system configuration, design optimization, and component selection.
