Solar yard light lifespan
is a concern for many people. The duration for which solar yard lights can be used is closely related to various factors, particularly the quality of the battery, which directly affects the operating time of the yard lights.

Consider the battery sealing form
Currently, there are mainly two packaging forms for solar batteries: laminated and glue-dipped. The laminated process can ensure the solar battery works for more than
25
years, while glue-dipping, though aesthetically pleasing at the time, only allows a lifespan of about
1-2
years. Therefore, for small-power solar lawn lights under
1W
with no high lifespan requirements, glue-dipping can be used. However, for solar lights with specified service years, it is recommended to use the laminated packaging. Additionally, there is a type of silicone gel used for glue-dipped solar batteries, which reportedly can achieve a lifespan of
10
years.

Select the proper battery capacity
Due to the highly unstable input energy of solar photovoltaic systems, they generally require a battery system to operate, and solar lights are no exception. They need to be equipped with batteries to function. Common options include lead-acid batteries,
Ni-Cd
batteries, and
Ni-H
batteries, whose capacity choices directly impact the system’s reliability and price. The capacity selection for the batteries generally follows these principles: first, to ensure they can meet the night lighting needs while attempting to store as much energy from the daytime solar panels as possible, and also to store enough energy for consecutive rainy nights. If the battery capacity is too small, it cannot meet the nighttime lighting needs; if it is too large, the battery remains in a state of discharge, which affects its lifespan and causes waste.
It can be seen that the solar battery significantly affects the lifespan of solar yard lights. This serves as a reminder for users that in order to extend the operational time of their solar yard lights, they should select solar batteries with good sealing and ideal capacity, in addition to using solar yard lights in a scientific and reasonable manner to prolong their service life.
