The lightning protection device of solar street lights is relatively unique.
The lightning protection system of solar street lights
differs from that of ordinary street lights mainly because the response speed of solar street lights is much faster, and they are significantly more affected by lightning. Therefore, in open areas and regions prone to thunderstorms, it is particularly important to install lightning protection devices on solar street lights. As a professional manufacturer of solar street lights, we have already considered the necessary preventive and precautionary measures for lightning protection in solar street lights from the following three aspects:
1. Lightning Protection: The lamp pole can serve as a lightning rod, and the flange should only be hot-dip galvanized, not spray-coated, as otherwise, lightning cannot be redirected through the pole to the ground.
2. Ground Connection: This is critical, as the grounding ear must be welded to the lamp pole to facilitate the discharge of electricity.
Solar street lights
should be equipped with a grounding network or grounding stakes next to each light. Additionally, the electrical system must be grounded at suitable points.
3. Electrical Equipment: Install dedicated photovoltaic DC lightning protectors. The lightning protector is designed based on the power supply voltage. During thunderstorms, the circuits of the LED solar street lights are susceptible to electrical induction or electromagnetic induction, leading to voltage spikes or surge currents that can affect the LED solar street light equipment. In severe cases, solar street lights may suffer damage from lightning strikes.
Easy Installation
When installing street lights, there are no complicated wiring systems involved. Once the concrete base and battery pit are established, installation can be completed by simply securing it with bolts. This saves a significant amount of labor and material costs, making it both convenient and practical.
Low Cost
Solar street lights
are essentially a one-time investment, as electricity costs are eliminated, and the investment can be recouped in just a few years, significantly reducing maintenance frequencies. It is estimated that in about 3 to 4 years, savings can amount to tens of thousands of dollars. Traditional street lights are more prone to breakdowns due to unstable voltage, and as time passes, aging wiring increases maintenance needs.
Energy Saving and Environmental Protection
Solar energy is inexhaustible and does not produce pollution or radiation. It brings advantages such as reduced property costs and decreased expenses for community owners. In contrast, traditional street lights involve numerous maintenance and electricity costs, making the benefits of solar street lights incomparable.
