The use of solar street lights is becoming more and more common, but in practical research and application, all the defects and technical deficiencies of solar street lights are also unavoidable and difficult to overcome.
Solar street lamps take energy conservation and environmental protection as the main selling point, and there is no big waste of resources, but from a technical point of view, the collection and storage of energy must be based on ideal climatic conditions, not only the cost of the system must remain high, but also different from the theme of energy conservation and comprehensive utilization that the system itself should perform.
In addition, some seemingly technically simple problems also need to be solved with relatively high cost investment in practical applications, including
First, the problem of centralized management, if the electrical line is not used, it is difficult to achieve centralized management and remote monitoring, which is more important for solar street lights, but if the electrical line is reconfigured, it will not only increase the cost, but also weaken the significance of the product in the "selling point";
Second, the battery life of solar street lamps, battery life and other control components are often lower than the life of LEDs, which brings that to achieve the long life of the whole system, many problems need to be solved, and it will also produce relatively high maintenance costs.
Third, because the system uses DC batteries, it is very easy to be stolen, so anti-theft is also a big problem of the system. In addition, there is also the weight problem of solar cells with a relatively high installation height, which will also bring about an increase in cost due to the windproof ability of the lamp pole design, and so on, which are problems that cannot be fundamentally solved by the solar LED lighting system.
