With the development of low-carbon economy, solar lighting technology is becoming increasingly perfect, and solar street lights are gradually being applied more and more widely. From beautiful rural areas to bustling cities, we often see their shining figures for everyone.

So what are the advantages of using solar street lights? How long is its service life? Let’s give you an answer.

01 What are the advantages of solar street lights?

Answer:

Firstly, solar streetlights utilize “inexhaustible and inexhaustible” solar energy to generate electricity and lighting, without worrying about energy shortages. They are economical and practical, while also being low-carbon and environmentally friendly.

Secondly, the installation of solar street lights is convenient and simple, without the need for a large amount of basic engineering such as laying cables like ordinary street lights. Instead, a base is needed to fix it, and all the wiring and control parts are placed in the lamp rack to form a whole.

Thirdly, the operation and maintenance cost of solar street lights is low. The entire system operates automatically without human intervention and incurs almost no maintenance costs.

02 How long is the service life of solar street lights?

Answer:

The lifespan of solar street lamps is mainly determined by the shorter lifespan of the street lamp accessories. The accessories of solar street lamps mainly include solar panels, controllers, batteries, lamp beads, etc.

Among them, the service life of solar panels can reach over 20 years. Twenty years later, the power of solar panels will decrease, but they can still be used normally;

A typical solar controller can have a lifespan of eight to ten years; For batteries, most solar street lights on the market currently use lithium batteries, with a lifespan of approximately five to eight years; LED solar street lamp beads can be used for more than 11 years.

Based on the above analysis, we can understand that among the main accessories of solar street lights, the lifespan of the battery is relatively short, which means that the lifespan of the battery has become the biggest factor restricting the lifespan of solar street lights, and also indicates that the lifespan of solar street lights is generally five to eight years.

However, don’t worry, when the solar street light has been in use for five to eight years and other accessories are not damaged, we only need to replace the battery to continue using the solar street light.
