Several common wrong installation methods of street lights


At present, rural construction of basic lighting facilities is now more and more replacing traditional city circuit lights with solar street lights. However, in the actual installation process, many customers still follow the location and installation method of traditional city circuit lights. It doesn't light up, it doesn't light up for a while at night, and so on. Today, the editor will summarize the five wrong installation methods of rural street lamps for you.


1. There are too many obstructions in the installation place

The principle of solar street light is that the top solar photovoltaic panel receives sunlight, converts electrical energy and stores it in the battery, and supplies the LED light from the battery discharge at night.

Therefore, all sources of solar street light electricity are photovoltaic panels to receive sunlight. If there are too many obstructions in the installation place, such as leaves, buildings, etc., it will block the sunlight, affect the absorption and utilization of solar photovoltaic panels, and lead to a decrease in charging efficiency.


--solution

Street lights should be as far away from obstructions as possible during site selection. If it is impossible to avoid obstructions, the solar photovoltaic panels should face south without obstructions, or the lighting time should not be less than 6 hours.


2. There are other light sources beside the street lights

The solar street light control switch is mainly based on light control. This control method can automatically adjust the lighting time according to the different dark days of the four seasons, and is not controlled by humans.

The main control device of the light control is mainly on the photovoltaic panel. If there are other lights around the photovoltaic panel, it is very easy to cause the photovoltaic panel to fail in induction, resulting in the inability to turn on the light. Solar street lights keep a certain distance from other light sources.


--solution

There is no other light source on the solar photovoltaic panel. If other light sources cannot be removed, you should inform us in advance, and we will adjust the controller to time control.


3. The solar panel is placed indoors to charge

For lighting needs, some customers will install solar lights indoors, such as in carports and corridors. Although there is a certain amount of light in these places during the day, they still cannot achieve the effect of outdoor charging, which is easy to cause the battery to be depleted, which will damage the battery in the long run. .


--solution

Solar lamps should be placed for outdoor lighting as much as possible. If they must be placed in indoor lighting, outdoor charging and indoor lighting can be used, which means that the solar photovoltaic panels are installed separately from the lamp body.


4. Lengthen the solar charging cable at will

In some locations, due to too much interference in installing solar panels, the solar panels and lights are simply separated by a long distance, while some customers are separated by a distance of 10 meters or even longer, and then they can buy two-core wires in the market to connect them. That's it. Because the quality of the general wire on the market itself is not very good, and the distance between the wire is very long, the wire loss is large, so the charging efficiency will be greatly reduced, resulting in the impact of the lighting time.


--solution

If you need to do this, please inform us in advance, and we will increase the power of the photovoltaic panel accordingly according to the actual situation to ensure that the solar energy can be charged normally.


5. The PV panel is facing the wrong way

This kind of error often occurs in solar street lights with poles. The photovoltaic panels of solar street lights with poles need to be fixed in advance before the vertical poles. Therefore, many times the photovoltaic panels are oriented in the wrong direction, resulting in the photovoltaic panels being unable to receive sunlight and not charging.


--solution

Photovoltaic panels generally face south. When installing, first determine the direction of LED illumination, and then determine the direction of the photovoltaic panels.
