Solar Street Light
Solar street lights are outdoor lighting systems powered by solar energy. They consist of a solar panel, a rechargeable battery, an LED light source, and other components that work together to provide illumination. Here's how solar street lights typically function:
Solar panel: The solar panel is installed on top of the street light or in a separate location where it can receive direct sunlight. Its purpose is to convert sunlight into electrical energy.
They offer several advantages, including:
- Battery: The solar energy generated by the panel is stored in a rechargeable battery. This allows the street light to operate during the night or in cloudy weather when there is no sunlight available.
- Controller: The controller regulates the charging and discharging of the battery. It also controls the operation of the LED light source and may include additional functionalities like dusk-to-dawn sensors or motion sensors.
- LED light source: Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are used as the primary light source in solar street lights. LEDs are energy-efficient, have a long lifespan, and provide high-quality illumination.
