Solar street lights use solar energy to power the lights. During the day, solar street lights absorb solar energy, converting it into electrical energy and storing it in batteries. At night, the stored energy in the batteries is used to power the light source. However, can they still be used during continuous rainy days?
1. Design
When designing solar street lights, considerations such as the local climate, environment, and temperature are taken into account. Is the design of the street light properly configured? Prior to continuous rainy weather, the electrical energy converted by the solar panels installed in the solar street light should be sufficient to provide energy for the lights, so there is no need to worry about them not lighting up without sunlight. In practical use, many street light manufacturers do not configure the lights according to local conditions. Another factor is that customers often seek cheap options, leading to insufficient power supply during continuous rainy days, resulting in poor lighting.
2. If the solar street light does not have waterproof features, the light heads can easily be damaged. Additionally, many low-cost light sources are emerging in the market to replace LED sources, which can lead to lighting failures during rainy weather.
3. If the solar street light controller is damaged, the waterproofing of the controller will directly affect its lifespan. If the waterproofing is inadequate, water may enter and directly damage the controller. The solar street light controller is responsible for charging the solar batteries, so it is essential to use a solar street light controller with absolute waterproof capability.
4. During the construction of traditional solar street lights, issues such as wire wear, poor contact, and short circuits may occur.
5. Battery damage can occur during installation. In addition to having waterproof qualities, batteries are generally buried underground to prevent water ingress. If the burial is too shallow, they may still be exposed to rainwater, leading to severe deterioration and potential disposal.
Solar energy can provide continuous power even on rainy days, as long as the solar street lights have waterproof configurations, high-quality batteries buried deep underground, and high-quality light sources.
