Solar street lights utilize sunlight as their energy source. During the day, solar panels charge the batteries, and at night, the batteries power the lights. The debugging, effectiveness, and after-sales service of solar street lights are greatly influenced by the installation location. Thus, determining the installation site for solar street lights is a skill that involves considering the following five factors:
1. Solar street lights must be installed in areas with ample sunlight and the solar panels should be positioned without any obstructions or shadows. If the installation location conflicts with fixed structures such as trees or manhole covers, the site should be adjusted appropriately, keeping a distance of less than 8 meters to avoid these obstructions.
2. If there are high-voltage power lines or overhead wires above the installation point, this location should be abandoned and the length of the road that cannot accommodate the lights should be documented and reported to the company.
3. No direct light sources should be present above the solar panels to avoid misinterpretation by the lighting control system which may lead to malfunctions.
4. If the installation site is marked as having underground optical fibers, cables, or water pipes, or is obstructed by tall trees or buildings overhead, the installation point should be moved within 5 meters to avoid these lines. If avoidance is not possible, an application for manual excavation to create a foundation pit should be submitted for handling.
5. If the road where the lights are to be installed runs adjacent to a river, the lights should be installed on the side away from the river to prevent construction from destabilizing the soil, which could lead to landslides.
The above points outline how to determine the installation locations for solar street lights. The chosen position is crucial as it directly affects the lifespan of the lights. Many users believe they can install solar street lights in any location based on personal preference, which is not the case. The selection of the installation site is an essential aspect of the initial installation process.
