Why do people prefer solar street lights? Unlike traditional street lights, solar street lights do not require electricity; they convert solar energy into electrical power for lighting. This reduces both the cost of street lights and the maintenance management expenses. As a result, solar street lights are gradually replacing conventional street lights. However, sometimes solar street lights may not illuminate due to various reasons. What is the repair process for malfunctioning solar street lights? Below is an introduction provided by the Century Sunshine Lighting editor.
Repair process for malfunctioning solar street lights:
1. Check the battery. If the solar street light is not illuminating, it is likely due to a faulty battery. Remove the battery and replace it with a new one for testing. If it lights up, the issue is with the battery. Properly reconnect the new battery using the original wiring. If it still does not illuminate, further inspection is needed.
2. Inspect the solar panel to ensure it is charging properly, primarily by checking for current output on the voltage board. If the panel’s connections are not soldered correctly or there is no current from the aluminum foil, replacement is necessary. If dust accumulation is the issue, a cleaning and maintenance can be performed.
3. Check the controller. Similarly, detach the controller and replace it with a compatible model. If the light functions normally afterward, it indicates that the controller was the issue and needs replacement. If it still does not light up, continue to investigate.
4. Examine the lamp head. If the wattage of the lamp head is too high, it may cause the battery to excessively discharge and age prematurely. Conversely, if the wattage is too low, the brightness will be insufficient, leading to unnecessary cost waste. If the lamp head is damaged, remove it and replace it.
5. If the above methods do not resolve the issue, it may point to a quality problem with the solar street light itself, necessitating contact with the manufacturer for repair or replacement.
This concludes the shared process for repairing solar street lights that are not illuminating. Solar street lights generate energy from the sun and do not use cables, which eliminates concerns about leaks and other accidents. Current control ensures that the battery pack is protected from damage during charging or discharging and includes features such as time control, temperature control, discharge protection, and lightning protection.
