What is Solar Street Light ?
Solar Street Lights are elevated lighting fixtures powered by Solar Panels, which are typically attached to the structure itself or integrated into the pole. These solar panels charge a rechargeable battery that supplies energy to a fluorescent or LED lamp during nighttime hours.
Eco Solar System Chandigarh provides a complete service for supplying and installing various types of solar street lights, customize to the specific application, budget, and needs of our customers.
Eco Solar System Chandigarh, Solar Street Lights are constructed using top-notch components, including high-quality batteries, LED lights/luminaries, controllers, panels, and support structures designed for extended durability. These lights feature an automatic on-off function to ensure they operate only from sunset to sunrise. Additionally, we offer solar streetlights integrated with remote management cloud-based software that allows us to monitor the condition of the streetlights online.
How it Works?
What considerations should I keep in mind before installing solar street lights?
- Location: The duration of sunlight exposure and the intended use of the lighting.
- Battery capacity: Guarantees sufficient energy storage.
- Light output: Necessary brightness and coverage required.
- Weather conditions: Consistently cloudy or rainy weather might make necessary extra considerations.
What is the brightness level of solar street lights?
The brightness of solar street lights differs depending on the model and is measured in lumens. Generally, these lights offer sufficient illumination for streets and public spaces, usually ranging from 1,000 to 15,000 lumens.
Are solar street lights effective in cloudy or rainy weather?
Certainly, solar street lights are capable of operating during cloudy or rainy conditions, albeit with possibly reduced efficiency. The majority of these systems are engineered to store sufficient energy to endure several days without direct sunlight.
How long can a solar street light stay on after a full charge?
A solar street light can stay on for 12 hours per day after a full charge.
How do solar street lights work on cloudy days?
Solar street lights can still operate on cloudy days because they store energy in the battery during the day. The battery can usually power the light for five nights without charging.
How long do solar street lights last?
Solar panels typically last 25–30 years, but their efficiency may decline over time. LED lights in solar street lights can last 50,000–100,000 hours.
How can I extend the lifespan of solar street lights?
Regular maintenance and inspections can help extend the lifespan of solar street lights. This includes cleaning the solar panels, checking and replacing faulty components, and monitoring the battery’s health.
What is the color rendering index (CRI) and how does it affect the light output?
The CRI affects the light output. A 5K CRI is often used for streets because it provides better visibility. A lower CRI can reduce strain on the circadian rhythm of people in the area.
