Nowadays, the application of solar photovoltaic technology is quite extensive, encompassing products such as solar water heaters, solar power banks, and solar insulated water cups. Among these, solar street lights are particularly relevant to our daily lives. Solar street lights have entered our field of vision, while traditional street lights are gradually fading away. So, in what environments are solar street lights suitable? Below, the editor from Century Sunshine Lighting will introduce this topic.
Requirements for solar street lights regarding the environment:
1. Wide range of altitude
Solar street lights have specific requirements for installation altitude; however, due to technological improvements, the altitude range has expanded significantly. They can be installed and used at altitudes below 5000 meters. Generally, it is not recommended to use solar street lights at altitudes above 5000 meters, but for ordinary users, solar street lights are generally suitable, with no requirements below 5000 meters.
2. Wide range of air temperature
Secondly, solar street lights have certain requirements regarding air temperature. However, advancements in technology have allowed solar street lights to withstand a greater temperature range, generally operating effectively in temperatures below 70 degrees Celsius and above minus 50 degrees Celsius. This broad temperature range indicates that solar street lights have no strict requirements in typical residential environments, allowing users to use them with confidence.
3. Wide range of humidity
Solar street lights also have certain humidity requirements. Due to technological advancements, current solar street lights have lower humidity requirements and strong resistance; they can generally be installed safely in environments where humidity is below 80%.
The information shared here regarding the suitable environments for solar street lights indicates that, as long as there is adequate sunlight, solar street lights can be used for illumination. However, solar street lights typically do not use high-power LED fixtures for lighting. If very high-power LED lamp heads are used, the corresponding solar panels and batteries would require very high configurations. Consequently, the overall cost of a solar street light would be very high, resulting in poor cost-performance.
