Components of solar street light

Modern solar street lights operate based on the simple principle of photovoltaic effect like traditional solar street lights. The current growth in solar energy sector aims at enhancing the performance of solar light components.

Components of Solar powered street lights

Solar Panel: solar panel: mono-crystalline or poly-crystalline. Conversion rate of mono-crystalline solar panel is much higher than poly-crystalline.

Lighting Fixture: LED is usually used as lighting source of modern solar street light, as the LED will provide much higher Lumens with lower energy consumption. Latest designs use wireless technology control for battery management. The street lights using this technology can operate as a network with each light having the capability of performing on or off the network.

Rechargeable Battery: Battery will store the electricity from solar panel during the day and provide energy to the fixture during night. There are different types of batteries: Gel Cell Deep Cycle Battery and Lead Acid Battery, Lithium-ion LFP Battery and many more.

Controller: Controller is also very important for solar street light. A controller will usually decide to switch on /off charging and lighting. Some modern controllers are programmable so that user can decide the appropriate chance of charging, lighting and dimming.

Pole: Strong Poles are necessary to all street lights, especially to solar street lights as there are often components mounted on the top of the pole: fixtures, panels and sometimes batteries. However, in some newer designs, the PV panels and all electronics are integrated in the pole itself. Wind resistance is also a factor.

Types of Solar Street Lights

Some premium street light products also integrate MPPT charge controller, advanced Battery Management System (BMS) and/or microwave sensor for a robust and extensive application.

• Split Solar Street Lights: first-generation of solar-powered street lights, these lights generally have a solar panel installed on the top of the light pole and a solar battery hung at the lower part of the pole or buried underground.
• All-in-Two Solar Street Lights: they are integrated into the street light fixture and help to make up a more sleek look for the light. However, the solar panel is still independent of the light fixture and set up on the top of the pole.
• All-in-One Solar Street Lights: the newest version! As the name implies, all-in-one solar street lights combine the solar panel, lighting module and battery storage into one
