LED solar street lights are commonly seen along roads and highways. Once night falls, these LED solar street lights illuminate the surroundings. In addition to solar-powered street lights, there are also new energy street lights equipped with wind turbines that generate electricity whenever there is wind. These types of street lights are known as wind-solar complementary LED street lights.
So, what are the differences between wind-solar complementary LED street lights and LED solar street lights? Here, we will provide an analysis.
First, let’s examine their components.
Wind-solar complementary LED street light systems consist of six main components, which include the wind turbine, solar panels, lamp poles, batteries, wind-solar complementary controllers, and LED lamp heads. On the other hand, solar street lights mainly consist of five components: solar panels, solar street light controllers, lamp poles, batteries, and LED lamp heads. From the above parameters, we can see that the key difference is that wind-solar complementary street lights have an additional wind turbine. Furthermore, they use different photovoltaic controllers; wind-solar complementary street lights use wind-solar complementary controllers, while solar street lights use standard street light controllers.
Wind-solar complementary street lights generate power using both wind and solar energy. They can produce electricity whenever there is wind, day or night, whereas solar street lights rely on solar energy to generate power during the day and provide lighting at night. The addition of a wind turbine to wind-solar complementary street lights allows them to generate power even in windy or rainy conditions, as well as during sunny weather.
Since wind-solar complementary LED street lights are equipped with an additional photovoltaic component, the cost of wind-solar complementary LED street lights is generally higher than that of solar street lights. This serves as a basic comparison between the two types of street lights. When selecting street lights, it is important to consider the advantages of the installation location, as choosing the right type of street light will maximize its effectiveness.
