The new solar street lights have achieved great success in challenging traditional street lighting.
Solar street lights with light control switches are simple and practical. They consist of solar panels, batteries, solar controllers, light sources, and lamp posts. Solar energy is converted into electrical energy by photovoltaic panels to power the street lights. This is a high-tech energy solution, and it operates automatically with just the setting of its working mode. It does not require cable installation, making it easy and convenient to install and maintain. Only a small pit and a cement base are needed, secured with stainless steel screws.
In contrast, the installation process of traditional street lights is complex and costly. It requires cable laying, digging trenches, and burying pipelines and cables, which can increase costs, especially in areas where burying is difficult. The long installation and debugging process wastes manpower, financial resources, and materials, and constant maintenance of the lines is necessary. There are safety risks with buried lines; construction in the area could potentially damage the lines and lead to safety accidents.
As people’s quality of life improves and social civilization develops, solar street lights are becoming the ideal choice for road lighting and will be widely used. By 2030, the world’s electricity production will mainly rely on renewable energy. Solar energy, being a pollution-free and inexhaustible resource, will be everywhere.
