LED Street lighting is a fresh new alternative to traditional street lamps such as LPS, HPS, or MH street lights. LED lighting provides a multitude of advantages over conventional incandescent light: LED street lights are environmentally friendly, energy efficient, and cost-effective. This smart, "green" option for outdoor lighting has emerged on the green scene due to the recent technological advances of LED illumination.
But more "greener" option for you is Solar street lighting by recycled green energy lighting system. They are of energy saving and environmental friendly, which can be used for residential, road, park and so on. High quality solar panel absorbs sunlight and convert into electricity energy, then charges maintenance-free battery and finally LED street lights automatically when day off, auto-off when day break.
The working method of solar street lights is: solar panel absorbs sunlight and converts it to electricity to drive 60W LED Street light.
The whole system is mainly composed by:
60W LED street lighting, solar panel, lead acid battery and solar street lighting controller, pole (suggest 6-8m height).
Because of different weather condition in different country and different requirements from different market, so the specification of each part of the whole solar street lighting system, especially solar panel and battery, are depending on following factors:
• Average local daily sunshine hours.
• Working times of the system per night.
• Backup days of the solar system during rainy days.
Advantages of LED Solar Street Lighting Projects
1). Lower power consumption
2). Higher power, higher intensity
3). Save all your electricity cost. Save electric transformer and cable cost. Free maintenance
4). Environmental Impact – Eliminate Hazardous Disposal
5). Longer lifetime: Lifespan of solar panel is 20-25 years. Lifespan of LED street lights is 6-8 years. Lifespan of battery is 4-6 years.
