Solar street lights are increasingly being used in both rural and urban construction due to their easy installation, eco-friendliness, energy efficiency, and long lifespan. What factors affect the lifespan of solar street lights? Below, we will briefly introduce some of these factors.
1. Source Quality and Type: The type of light source used can greatly influence the lifespan of solar street lights. Currently, commonly used sources include LED and energy-saving lamps. According to national standards, the average lifespan of energy-saving lamps should exceed 6000 hours, while LED lamps generally last over 50000 hours. This means that energy-saving lamps can last for over 2 years, whereas LED lamps can last for more than 10 years. Additionally, the quality of the product itself also determines the lifespan of the light source.
2. Controller: The controller is one of the core components of solar street lights, playing a command role within the entire solar street light system. It not only controls, monitors, and protects the operation of the photovoltaic components, battery, and load, but it also effectively manages the battery’s operational status while indirectly protecting the load (solar LED street light). Therefore, a stable and reliable controller will significantly extend the lifespan of solar street lights.
3. Battery: The commonly used batteries for solar street lights are colloidal and lithium batteries. While colloidal batteries are less expensive than lithium batteries, they have a much shorter lifespan. In most areas, colloidal batteries last no more than 4 years, while the minimum lifespan of lithium batteries is 5 years. Consequently, many solar street lights stop functioning after 3 to 4 years due to the short lifespan of colloidal batteries.
