The solar street light controller will determine the lighting efficiency of the entire system.

The controller is considered a low-cost component in solar street lights, but its importance cannot be overlooked. The selection of the controller is often an easily neglected issue by contractors. The quality of controllers varies significantly, causing the market price for a 12V/10A controller to range from 100 to 200 yuan. The quality of the controller directly determines the lifespan of the entire solar street light system and the procurement cost of the whole system.

1. Choose a controller with low power consumption. The controller must operate continuously for 24 hours. If its own power consumption is relatively high, it will waste some electric energy. A controller with a consumption below 5 milliamps is recommended.

2. Select a controller with high charging efficiency. Controllers with MCT charging mode can automatically track the current of the solar panel to avoid unnecessary charging waste.

3. Opt for a controller with power regulation efficiency. Controllers with power regulation capabilities are widely promoted, allowing them to automatically reduce the working current of LED light sources during nighttime or pedestrian periods, thus saving electricity and reducing the solar panel configuration ratio.

4. The waterproof performance of the controller should be high. Controllers are typically installed in the base of the lamp pole, making them easily susceptible to water ingress during the rainy season. Therefore, it is essential to choose fully waterproof controllers to extend the lifespan of the lighting system and reduce maintenance costs.

5. In addition to choosing controllers with the above energy-saving functions, attention should also be paid to the protective features of the controller for components like batteries. Controllers with trickle charging mode can effectively protect batteries, preventing over-discharge. Both overcharging and over-discharging can decrease the lifespan of the battery.
