Solar street light is energy-efficient and environment-friendly, but why its development has been blocked frequently?

As the new energy product, the solar street light is gradually becoming familiar to us, and we also know that they have great advantages compared with the city circuit light. But why are solar street light not used widely in the development of the new era? In fact, although the solar street light is energy-saving, environmentally friendly and conducive to long-term development, but its actual use is often blocked. Now let Juho Lighting explain the reasons for you.

1. Insufficient technical ability

The working principle of the solar street light is to convert the solar light energy into electric energy, thereby energizing the LED light source, so the conversion rate of the battery panel is important. At present, the most common battery panels are two types: Polysilicon and monocrystalline silicon. The conversion rate of the former is not as good as the latter, but its cost performance is higher. The more important issue is that the domestic companies are almost relying on imported foreign materials for assembly, no matter for monocrystalline or polycrystalline silicon. There are few domestic companes that can independently produce these two types of panels. As a result of the insufficient technical ability, the solar street light’s development is still blocked in China, and difficult to popularize in the short term.

2. The expensive price

Although in the long run, solar street light is more cost-effective than city circuit light, but its initial investment cost is relatively high. It’s a difficult thing to do a huge invest like this at one time for most regions, especially the underdeveloped areas and poor counties. Therefore, solar street lights are not widely used.

3. Environmental factor

Solar street light need to rely on natural energy to work, so it is affected naturally by natural factors such as weather. This restriction often makes some purchasers discouraged.

4. Scope of application

The illumination range of the solar street light is relatively narrow, about 6-7 meters. If out of this range, the illumination effect is not so good, which limits its application range. It is not suitable for those places with high illumination requirements, such as tunnels, urban main roads etc.

Although there are certain factors that limit the development of solar street light, in general, solar street light is more suitable for the development of the new era. In the future, the new energy will also replace the old energy, and solar street light still has a bright future.
