Solar street lights, composed of street lamps, solar panels, and batteries, have increasingly spread to rural areas. Have you noticed that the prices of solar street lights have been decreasing year by year? In the past two years, solar street lights with medium configurations could sell for 1200 yuan, but now the same configuration is available for over 900 yuan, or even lower. What is the reason behind this? Next, Century Sunshine will briefly explain the reasons.
1. The number of manufacturers of solar street lights has surged.
In recent years, the country has vigorously developed new rural construction, requiring the mass use of energy-saving and environmentally friendly solar street lights for road construction. As a result, the market and sales of solar street lights produced by manufacturers have been good, yielding considerable profits. This has led to many investments in the solar street light industry, causing an increase in the number of manufacturers. As the number of manufacturers rises, the competition within the industry has intensified, and companies have started price wars, resulting in a year-on-year decrease in the prices of solar street lights. Additionally, many shell companies and unscrupulous merchants cut corners, set false standards, and enter the market at very low prices to attract customers.
2. The price of raw materials used in manufacturing solar street lights has decreased.
1. Due to market factors, the price of silicon wafers, which make up solar panels, has dropped by more than half.
2. The price of Q235 steel, used for manufacturing solar street lamp poles, has decreased by one-third compared to before, resulting in lower prices for the poles.
3. The prices of LED chips, housings, and aluminum substrates for solar lamps have decreased, leading to a reduction in the prices of solar lamp series.
4. The prices of lithium battery cores and solar street light controllers have decreased, resulting in lower prices for finished solar lithium batteries.
In summary, whether due to the increase in the number of manufacturers or the decrease in raw material prices for solar street light manufacturers, these factors have led to a year-on-year decline in the prices of solar street lights. Finally, Century Sunshine offers a sincere suggestion: when purchasing solar street lights, make sure to buy from reputable manufacturers and avoid being lured by low prices. Remember that the principle of “you get what you pay for” always applies, and it is essential to avoid buying inferior solar street lights, which can lead to many complications.
