Before you buy a solar street light, do you have this doubt： Will the Lifespan of solar lights be enough to be worth the money? After all, traditional outdoor electric lighting seems to be cheaper.
The answer is yes! So what are the advantages of solar street lights compared to traditional street lights?
1. Easy to install
Traditional lighting street light installation is very complicated! There are complex operational procedures in traditional lighting street lighting projects, firstly laying cables, carrying out a lot of basic works such as excavation of cable trenches, laying concealed pipes, threading the pipes, and back filling.
Then a long period of installation and commissioning is carried out, and if there is a problem with any of the lines, the work has to be reworked extensively. On top of this, the terrain and route requirements are complex and the labor and auxiliary materials are costly.
The solar street light installation is very easy! When installing solar street lights, there is no need to lay complicated lines, just make a cement base and then fix it with stainless steel screws.
2. Longer lifespan
The life span of solar lamps and lanterns is much higher than that of traditional electric lamps and lanterns, for example, the life span of the main components of solar lamps and lanterns is 25 years for solar cells; the average life span of low pressure sodium lamps is 18,000 hours; the average life span of low pressure high efficiency trichromatic energy saving lamps is 6,000 hours; the average life span of super bright LED is more than 50,000 hours.
3. Low maintenance
Solar street lights are a one-time investment with long-term benefits, as the lines are simple and do not generate maintenance costs or expensive electricity bills.
Traditional electric street lights have high electricity costs, complex wiring and require long-term uninterrupted maintenance of the wiring. Especially in the case of unstable voltage, the sodium lamp is inevitably bad, and with the extension of the years, the line aging, maintenance costs are increasing year after year!
4. low-carbon energy and environmental protection
Solar street lights can convert sunlight into electricity without electricity, with no pollution and no radiation, in line with today’s environmental protection concept.
The electricity supply of traditional grid-connected streetlights is a drain on local government funds and the largest source of carbon emissions. They account for 30-40% of total local government emissions. Solar streetlights are better for the environment because solar panels rely solely on on the sun for power and their operation produces zero carbon emissions.
