With the continuous improvement of solar energy and battery conversion efficiency, generating electricity from solar energy has become a reality. It has started to be utilized across various industries, especially in lighting, where solar street lights have begun to be used on a large scale in the country. So what are the installation requirements for solar street lights? Here, we will introduce them.
1. The solar panels should face due south.
2. Solar street lights should be kept away from heat sources to prevent affecting the lifespan of the fixtures.
3. There should be no direct light sources above the solar panels to avoid misidentification and operation errors by the lighting control system.
4. The foundation for the solar street light poles must have sufficient strength, and the embedded components should be reliable and compatible with the lamp bases.
5. The array panels should be installed in areas without tall buildings, trees, power poles, etc., that block sunlight and provide wind protection. When it is not possible to ensure full sunlight exposure throughout the day, efforts should be made to preserve unobstructed sunlight between 9:30 AM and 3:30 PM.
6. The design of protective grounding and lightning protection facilities must strictly adhere to the “Building Lightning Protection Design Code.” All solar street light poles and electrical equipment must have reliable protective grounding and lightning protection systems. After digging the foundation pit, low poles under 12m should have a 50mm x 5mm x 1500mm galvanized angle steel driven into the corners of the pit, with ground resistance less than 10Ω. In challenging geological conditions, grounding bodies can be buried, and resistance reduction agents can be used as solutions.
This concludes the installation requirements for solar street lights. It is important to remind everyone to choose reputable manufacturers when purchasing solar street lights. Do not be tempted by lower prices from small workshops, as it may compromise quality and lead to many subsequent issues that need addressing.
