With the economic development across the country, the vigorous push of municipal facilities, and in response to the call for energy conservation and emission reduction, local governments are vigorously promoting the application of LED solar street lamps. In recent years, they have become increasingly well-known.
The installation of LED solar street lamps not only brings fresh elements and attractiveness to urban and rural construction but also saves electricity resources and reduces electricity bills. It is known that the electricity bill for street lamps using municipal power on a 1000-meter road can reach tens of thousands of yuan per month.
However, more and more media reports indicate that installed LED solar street lamps stop functioning after about a year, causing significant inconvenience to the public. The LED solar street lamps that were paid for do not achieve the expected effects. What could be the reason for this?
1. The Solar Street Lamp Industry Lacks Industry Standards
The production process of solar street lamps is chaotic, with low industry entry barriers. Many small enterprises directly purchase low-quality raw materials at a low cost and assemble solar street lamps. During this process, they cut corners and produce substandard products, severely affecting the performance and lifespan of the products. The lack of mandatory inspection standards leads many manufacturers to prioritize profits over product quality.
2. The Market Mechanism for Solar Street Lamps Is Inadequate
As public facilities, street lamps are naturally invested in and built by government departments, which implement solar street lamp installations through bidding processes. However, there are generally no mandatory requirements for the actual installation units of solar street lamps, only qualification requirements for the bidding units. Most actual solar street lamp installation units bid by borrowing the qualifications of the solar street lamp manufacturers. Due to mismatches between the construction entity and the qualification-holding unit, and the lack of an evaluation system for construction units, there are significant loopholes. On one hand, construction units push suppliers to reduce prices fiercely, while on the other hand, they cut corners in construction. As a result, the quality cannot be guaranteed.
3. The Bidding Process for Solar Street Lamps Is Not Transparent, Fair, or Public
The bidding for solar street lamps, like other types of bidding, more or less involves hidden deals and opaque operations. Situations of money-and-power transactions exist, meaning that prices and quality do not effectively engage in market competition, leading to instances of high prices for inferior products.
