Solar street lights are not affected in winter. However, they may be affected if they encounter snowy days. Once the solar panels are covered with thick snow, the panels will be blocked from receiving light, resulting in insufficient heat energy for the solar street lights to be converted into electricity for lighting. Therefore, in order to ensure that solar street lights can be used as usual in winter, it is best to clean them manually or mechanically when there is snow on the panels. In addition, when installing solar street lights, local climatic conditions should be fully considered. If there is light snow or sleet, solar street lights can be used normally. If there is an extreme blizzard, the snow on the panels can be slightly tidied to prevent the solar panels from forming shadow areas and uneven conversion of solar panels. Therefore, when installing solar street lights, it is necessary to consider the different climate environments in various places, and areas with snow all year round should be carefully considered.
As a professional solar street light manufacturer, Tianxiang selects high-conversion photovoltaic panels, long-life batteries and intelligent controllers to ensure lighting effects and durability. We design and customize them according to the local climate and lighting conditions of customers, without worrying about frostbite of street lights.
1. The battery is buried too shallowly in winter. In winter, the weather is cold and the battery will be “frozen”, resulting in insufficient discharge. Usually in cold areas, the battery should be buried at least 1 meter deep, and 20 cm of sand should be laid on the bottom to facilitate the dissipation of accumulated water, so as to extend the life of the battery. The performance of lithium batteries will decrease in cold conditions, and protection measures should also be taken.
2. The solar panels have not been cleaned for a long time, and there is too much dust, which affects power generation. In some places, it is because of frequent snowing and snow covering the solar panels, resulting in insufficient power generation.
3. Winter has short sunshine time and long nights, so the solar charging time is short and the discharge time is long.
However, when designing solar street lights, solar street light manufacturers will use lithium batteries of appropriate capacity to store electricity according to local conditions, so it will not have much impact on normal operation.
4. Prevent ice. When choosing solar panels, you should choose products with good craftsmanship, few seams and few welding points. The solar panels should be simple and smooth in design, and waterproof, so that there will be no ice. Prevent solar street lights from freezing in cold areas. As we all know, there is often rain and snow in cold areas. Such weather can easily cause a layer of ice on street lights, because solar street lights rely on solar panels to collect solar energy for power generation. If the panels are frozen, the solar street lights will not work properly.
The above is the industry knowledge sharing brought to you by Tianxiang, a solar street light manufacturer. Tianxiang solar street lights strive to be professional from core component performance to scenario applications, from technological innovation to market trends, so that everyone can understand all aspects of solar street lights more clearly. Welcome to communicate at any time, we will continue to provide you with practical industry information.
