Solar street lights are well-known and come in a wide variety of styles. The rich and diverse types of solar street lights contribute their value to people’s lighting needs and add color to international illumination.
However, do you know how the control switch for solar street lights works?
In fact, the operation of turning solar street lights on and off is managed by a device that effectively controls the lights based on the sunrise and sunset. This device is known as a solar controller. The solar controller has different control methods. Let us discuss these various methods and what the components of the controller are.
I. Two control methods:
1. Light control: This method primarily relies on sensors that detect the intensity of external light. When the light reaches a certain darkness level, the solar street light will automatically turn on. Conversely, when the external light reaches a certain brightness level, the solar street light will turn off by itself. The sensitivity of the light control can be adjusted manually. Currently, most solar street lights utilize this method.
2. Time control: This method determines the on and off times of the solar street lights based on a timer. This approach was more commonly used in the past, but it is less common now. The main reason is that even within the same area, different seasons can affect the timing, making time control inconvenient.
II. Components of the controller:
1. Hardware components: Generally include a combination of circuit boards and chips.
2. Software components: Control software is developed based on different types of solar street lights.
As can be seen, solar street lights have achieved automatic switching, and the solar controller is essential within the entire structure. We must not overlook the value of this small device.
