The characteristics of solar street light design and manufacturing process

With the improvement of global environmental awareness, solar street lights, as a green, sustainable lighting solution, are increasingly favored by governments and enterprises from various countries. Solar street lights use solar plates to absorb sunlight and convert them into electrical energy, storage energy through batteries for night lighting. Its design and manufacturing process must not only meet the lighting needs, but also consider environmental adaptability, long life, high efficiency and low maintenance costs. This article will explore the characteristics of solar street light design and manufacturing process to help better understand this innovative product.

  1. The characteristics of solar street light design

1.1 Energy -conscious self -sufficient

The biggest feature of solar street lights is the use of solar energy. When designing, solar panels are usually installed on the top or support rods of the street lights to make full use of Rizhao resources. In order to ensure that the sunshine is sufficient, it can still provide sufficient lighting. The design of solar street lights needs to choose the appropriate solar panel power to meet the needs of all -weather light. How to charge solar lights without sunlight?

1.2 Energy -saving

The design of solar street lights pursue efficient energy conversion. The photoelectric conversion efficiency of solar panels (usually 15%-22%) determines the efficiency of solar energy absorbed by photovoltaic boards into electrical energy. Efficient conversion means that solar street lights can accumulate sufficient power in a short period of time to ensure the stable operation of street lights. In recent years, with the development of photovoltaic technology, new high -efficiency solar panels have continued to come out, which has further improved the energy efficiency of solar street lights.

1.3 Smart Control System

Modern solar street light design more integrated intelligent control system. The combination of intelligent sensors, light control and time control can realize the automatic switch and dimming function of street lights. This not only improves the intelligent level of street lights, but also effectively extends the service life of the lamp. For example, the light -controlled sensor can automatically adjust the switch state according to the brightness of the environment, and the time control system ensures that it is running within a certain period of time to reduce unnecessary energy waste.

1.4 Waterproof and anti -corrosion design

Solar street lights are usually used for a long time in the outdoor environment, so its design must have strong waterproof and corrosive capabilities. During manufacturing, the interface of the shell, solar panel and the battery storage system of the lamps requires high temperature and anti -ultraviolet materials to prevent natural factors such as rainwater and wind and sand. Common anticorrosive materials are aluminum alloy and stainless steel. These materials are not only resistant to corrosion, but also have good heat dissipation performance.

1.5 Beauty and coordination with the environment

The design of solar street lights also needs to consider coordination with the surrounding environment. Especially in urban parks, scenic spots and other places, the appearance design of the street lights needs to be integrated with the natural environment or urban style. Today, the solar street lights on the market are diverse. From simple modern styles to retro style, they should be available to meet the needs of different regions.

  1. The characteristics of solar street light manufacturing process

2.1 The manufacturing process of solar panels

As the core component of solar panels, its manufacturing process directly affects the performance and life of street lights. Generally, solar panels are made of single crystal silicon or polysilicon, and single crystal silicon solar panels are more efficient and suitable for smaller space. The production process involves cutting, stitching, packaging and testing of silicon wafers, and strict quality control is strictly controlled to ensure the stability of each solar plate. In recent years, thin film solar technology has also begun to be used in the production of solar street lights. Although the efficiency is relatively low, due to its light weight, strong flexibility, and low cost, it has gradually become a choice in some special environments. There are the top ten solar street light manufacturers in the Philippines.

2.2 The selection and manufacturing of the battery

The battery of solar street lights usually use a lithium battery or colloidal battery. Lithium batteries have become the mainstream choice because of their long service life and high energy density. The manufacturing process of lithium batteries includes the production, packaging and testing of battery cores. The quality of the battery determines the continuous lighting time and reliability of street lights. By optimizing the battery's charging and discharge management system, it can greatly improve its service life and efficiency. Take you to understand the optical battery: advantages and disadvantages.

2.3 production of LED lamps

As the light source of solar street lights, LED lamps have the characteristics of low power consumption, high brightness, and long life. During the manufacturing process, the quality requirements of LED lamps are very high. The packaging process of LED chips includes steps, welding, testing and other steps. During the process, it is necessary to ensure good heat dissipation effects to avoid light failure caused by overheating. During the production process of LED lamps, materials such as aluminum substrates and ceramic substrates are often used to improve heat dissipation performance.

2.4 The design of the integrated circuit and the control system

The integration of the intelligent control system is a key part of the design of solar street lights, mainly involving functions such as light control, time control, and intelligent lighting. The design of the control circuit needs to ensure the stability of the system and the response speed is fast. During the manufacturing process, the circuit board of the intelligent control system will be welded and packaged, and the control unit is usually integrated inside or in the battery box. The development of modern technology makes these systems more intelligent, and can automatically adjust according to weather changes, seasonal changes, etc. to adapt to different environmental conditions.

2.5 design of the light pole and installation system

The light rods of solar street lights usually use high -strength materials such as steel and aluminum alloy to ensure that street lights can work stably in harsh environments. The manufacturing process includes the steps of cutting, welding, and spraying. The spraying process not only enhances the antioxidant capacity of the light rod, but also provides a better appearance. When designing, the height, angle and structure of the light rod should be adjusted according to actual needs to ensure that the solar panel can receive the sun to the maximum.

  1. Typical cases and applications

In practical applications, solar street lights are widely used in streets, parks, villages, campuses and other places. For example, in many cities in China, solar street lights have been applied to the main street lighting. In some remote areas, the application of solar street lights provides stable lighting for the local area without relying on external power supply, which greatly improves the quality of life of local residents.
