What is solar street light?

Solar powered street lights typically consist of three parts: a lighting fixture, rechargeable battery, and solar panel. These components create an independent solar-powered system that provides energy for road illumination.

What are the differences between conventional street lights and solar street lights? There are numerous benefits to using solar-powered lights. First, they do not require a grid system, as the solar panel can convert sunlight into electrical energy. This makes them suitable for remote areas where constructing power grids is expensive. Installing solar street lights in countries like Malaysia and Indonesia is advantageous due to their many islands.

Secondly, although the solar street light price is high,the installation cost of solar street lights is significantly lower since fewer electrical cables are needed and there is no need to excavate the road surface for buried wiring or pipe construction.

Lastly, using solar street lamps eliminates electricity bills. Our solar street lighting projects in countries such as the Philippines and South Africa, where electricity costs are relatively high, help reduce the burden of these expenses.

It depends on the materials adopted and the weather.
Normal solar lights are designed to be light on 8-12hours.
SIGOLED use high luminous led (up to 170-200lm/W),quality Monocrystalline solar panels, and tested and approved lithium battery. Cooperated with SIGOLED TBCC system (Timetable Consumption Control system ) ,Our solar powered street lights has a brightness customisation mode, which can be adjusted to meet the lighting needs of different people flows, such as full brightness, half brightness or slight brightness, to meet the lighting needs of the whole year.

Will rainy days have an impact on the solar road light?
Rainy days are also energetic, so the solar panels can be charged on rainy days as well. However, on cloudy days in some areas, once it has rained for half a month, the solar street lighting cannot be fully re- charged. SIGOLED can install an intelligent control system to add an energy-saving protection mode to the light. When the specific voltage of the battery is lower than the set voltage, the controller enters the energy-saving mode by default to reduce the output power by 20%. This greatly extends the lighting time and keeps the power supply on rainy days

If it rains all year round, you can also choose the type of battery and the number of days the battery can be stored depending on the local environment. Customers can make this clear to our sales when purchasing a solar street light and our technicial will provide a reasonable solution.
