The main energy collection source of solar panels comes from the sun. However,
the angle of solar panels
determines how much energy can be collected during effective sunlight hours. The angle of the solar streetlight panels is determined by the panel brackets. The conventional method is to position the brackets at a 45° angle to the vertical post. This angle is suitable for most regions, but when manufacturers make solar streetlights for nationwide distribution or export to other countries, they cannot adopt a one-size-fits-all approach. Some areas are not suitable for a 45° angle solar panel. In northern regions, during the hot summer, the sun is almost directly overhead, while in the cold winter, it is positioned further away.
In many southern regions, there is no obvious seasonal differentiation. In such areas, solar streetlights cannot be produced using conventional methods but must undergo field investigations. Due to the lack of seasonal variation, this indicates that the sun remains in a relatively constant position. The optimal angle may be 40° or 50°, and it can only be determined by placing a solar panel locally and using relevant testing tools to obtain accurate voltage data to finalize the optimal angle.
Although the angle of solar panels does not directly affect the lighting effect, insufficient sunlight can cause the battery to remain in a state of long-term discharge. This situation not only significantly reduces the lighting duration but also shortens the battery’s lifespan. Therefore, the angle of solar panels is crucial.
