Solar Street Lights
Solar Street Lights
Solar street lights are raised light sources which are powered by solar panels generally mounted on the lighting structure or integrated into the pole itself. The solar panels charge a rechargeable battery, which powers a fluorescent or LED lamp during the night. Deploying solar street lights on a city’s main roads, streets and in other public places makes them easier to access, supports businesses and improves social ties. Additionally, in more isolated areas, these lighting solutions help reduce insecurity, theft and assaults.
Some other notable benefits of solar street luminaires are mentioned in the pointers noted below:
Advantages of solar-powered outdoor lights
- Solar street lights are water-resistance and weatherproof and have a low glare and low insect attrition rate.
- The solar panels in these lights convert solar energy into electrical energy that gets stored in the inbuilt battery and is utilized for dusk-to-dawn lighting operations.
- The main feature of contemporary solar street luminaires is the battery management system which aids the presence of motion and night sensors.
- In the first five hours of the night, the performance of the system is up to medium-level brightness. The intensity of light decreases progressively until dawn or till the time the PIR sensor is activated by the movement of humans.
- With a smart lighting option, it automatically turns on to full brightness when it senses human movement within a specific radius of the luminaire.
- In comparison to conventional street lights, solar outdoor luminaires require almost no maintenance.
Solar Semi-Integrated Street Lights
Solar rooftop panels are part of the solar power system situated or installed on the roofs of your residential, commercial, or industrial properties. A rooftop solar system generates reliable and clean solar electricity using energy from sunlight. Energy generated from residential solar rooftops is free from pollutants and harmful gasses. To be specific, while generating electricity rooftop solar systems do not leave carbon emissions or footprints in the environment like other energy-developing systems.
All in One Solar Street Lights
The LED flashes brightly when it senses any movement close to it. This adaptive brightness management, when combined with maintenance-free Lithium-ion or Lithium Ferro Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery technology, increases backup time and battery life if motion is not detected for more than one minute. Additionally, All-in-One solar street lights require little maintenance and can alert the user with a blinking red LED if the solar panel needs cleaning.
