Where should the solar street light batteries be installed?

Solar street lights are mainly composed of solar panels, controllers, batteries, LED lamps, light poles and brackets. The battery is the logistical support of solar street lights, which plays the role of storing and supplying energy. Because of its precious value, there is a possibility risk of being stolen. So where should the battery of the solar street light be installed?

1. Surface

It is to put the battery in the box and place it on the ground and at the bottom of the street light pole. Although this method is easy to maintain later, the risk of being stolen is extremely high, so it is not recommended.

2. Buried

Dig a hole of a suitable size on the ground next to the solar street light pole, and bury the battery in it. This is a common method. The buried method can avoid the loss of battery life caused by long-term wind and sun, but attention should be paid to the depth of the pit foundation and the sealing and waterproofing. Because the temperature is low in winter, this method is more suitable for gel batteries, and gel batteries can handle well at -30 degrees Celsius.

3. On the light pole

This method is to pack the battery into a specially built box and install it on the street light pole as a component. Because the installation position is higher, the possibility of theft can be reduced to a certain extent.

4. Back of the solar panel

Pack the battery into the box and install it on the back side of the solar panel. Theft is least likely, so installing lithium batteries this way is the most common. It should be noted that the battery volume must be small.

So what kind of battery should we choose?

1. Gel battery. The voltage of the gel battery is high, and its output power can be adjusted higher, so the effect of its brightness will be brighter. However, the gel battery is relatively large in size, heavy in weight, and very resistant to freezing, and can accept a working environment of -30 degrees Celsius, so it is usually installed underground when installed.

2. Lithium battery. The service life is 7 years or even longer. It is light in weight, small in size, safe and stable, and can work stably in most cases, and basically there will be no danger of spontaneous combustion or explosion. Therefore, if it is required for long-distance transportation or where the use environment is relatively harsh, lithium batteries can be used. He is generally set on the back of the solar panel to prevent theft. Because the risk of theft is small and safe, lithium batteries are currently the most common solar street light batteries, and the form of installing the battery on the back of the solar panel is the most common.
