Nowadays, solar energy resources are being used in more and more places, and solar street lights are designed to utilize these resources for illumination, providing strong lighting capabilities. However, if the installation process is not conducted with care, it can lead to damaged components and a non-functioning light source. Since these lights are usually installed on rural roads, which are often away from populated areas, the maintenance and after-sales service can be labor-intensive. Therefore, selecting a good solar street light means less maintenance, fundamentally addressing potential issues. So, what should be noted during the installation of solar street lights? Below are some tips shared by Century Sunshine Lighting:
1. Ensure that all bolt connections between the lamp head, lamp arm, upper pole components, and solar panel are secure and not loose.
2. A protective plate must be added when installing the solar panel.
3. Handle the battery components gently during installation; short-circuiting or dropping the components is strictly prohibited.
4. When installing the lamp head and light source, handle them with care. Ensure the light cover is clean and free of scratches; rolling or dropping is strictly prohibited.
5. Always touch both the positive and negative terminals of the solar panel and battery simultaneously to prevent electric shock hazards.
6. The inverter outputs high voltage electricity, and touching it poses a life-threatening risk.
7. Seal the power line and junction box, as well as the cable entry points on the pole and components, with silicone. The connection wires for the solar panels must be securely fixed at the brackets to prevent looseness or disconnection due to prolonged sagging or pulling.
8. Avoid scratching the lamp body during installation.
9. Do not touch the battery terminals and control valves while moving the battery. Short-circuiting, rolling, or dropping the battery is strictly prohibited.
10. Pay attention to the positive and negative terminals during wiring. Reversing connections is strictly prohibited. Ensure that the wiring terminals are securely crimped without looseness, and be cautious about the connection sequence to avoid short circuits.
11. Seal the galvanized holes of the pole with silicone, ensuring aesthetic appeal.
The above are the key points to note during the installation of solar street lights. While the installation may seem simple, it is indeed very meticulous, as a small mistake can lead to significant problems. Therefore, it is recommended that buyers learn some professional knowledge to use the lights more effectively.
