Many people discover that the prices for solar street lights with the same appearance and power vary widely when they make purchases. The price differences can be as much as 100-300 or even over a thousand, leaving many repeat customers confused. The price for solar street lights is primarily determined by the customer’s required power, height, lighting time, and product quality. Let’s take a closer look at the factors that influence the price of solar street lights.
The lighting time of solar street lights mainly depends on power, battery, and photovoltaic panel. It can be seen that there are many factors influencing the solar street lights, so when you inform the manufacturer of the power and height, why is there a price difference?
Power:
The power of solar street lights determines several important aspects, such as the size of the LED lamp head, the number of lamp beads, the size of the aluminum substrate, the size of the battery, and the size of the photovoltaic panel. For example, producing 20W and 30W solar street lights results in a difference of 10 lamp beads, and the battery configuration can differ by more than 10Ah. Just these two aspects combined can result in a price difference of approximately 300.
Height:
The height of solar street lights primarily affects the size of the ground cage, the material of the lamp pole, and its thickness.
Quality:
Even if the lamp shell style is the same, the price can vary by several to dozens of dollars due to differences in thickness and workmanship. LED chip prices also vary significantly based on brand and quality. Common chips include Philips and Cree. Another crucial aspect is the thickness of the lamp pole. For instance, a common 6-meter lamp pole usually has a thickness of 2.75 or 3.0, but some manufacturers may use a thinner 2.5 to reduce costs.
Configuration:
This primarily concerns the lighting time. If you do not inform the manufacturer about the required lighting time, many manufacturers will quote prices based on lower configurations. For example, with the same power of a 20W solar street light, one configuration might have a 30W photovoltaic panel and a 20Ah battery, while a second configuration could have a 60W photovoltaic panel and a 60Ah battery. Configuration 1 offers just one day of lighting, while Configuration 2 provides more than three days, resulting in a significant price difference. Moreover, some dishonest manufacturers may quote for Configuration 2 but charge you for Configuration 1, thereby adjusting the actual configuration for profit.
