Before we choose enter into solar street light market, there’re 3 elements that we need to consider in advance.
1. Understand the annual solar energy distribution in the global
It’s obviously that the sunlight distribution are completely different.It means if you want to start solar led street light business, you need to know which country area is more suittable to sell solar led street light. Choosing a good market make you get twice the result with half the effort.
2. Lithium Iron Phosphate battery (LIFEPO4 Battery) or Ternary Lithium?
Now our integrated solar led street light have two battery solution.Maybe you have a question why we have this two? Let’s compare with the difference between them.
I: The material system of a LiFePO4 battery and a ternary Lithium battery is different.
II: A LiFePO4 battery is a 3.2V voltage platform, with a cycle life of more than 2000 charges.
III: The ternary lithium battery is a 3.7V voltage platform, and the cycle life depends on different manufacturers, different models, and processes, and generally, it is 500-800 charge cycles
IV: LiFePO4 batteries offer better high-temperature performance, while ternary lithium batteries have better low-temperature performance.
Our ST43 and ST44 solar led street light have two different working ambient temperature
ST43 ( 0℃-50℃)--LiFePO4 battery, ST44(-10℃-45℃)- Ternary Lithium Battery
ST44(0℃-50℃)--LiFePO4 battery,ST44(-10℃-45℃)-Ternary Lithium Battery
So if your project have ambient temperature below 0℃ in Winter, we suggest you choose Ternary Lithium Battery solution.
Of course I prefer you sell the solar street light to those place which temperature above zero ℃ throughout the year, then you could choose LiFePO4 batteries solution and the cost is more cheaper than Ternary Lithium Battery solution. Meanwhile, it could play a better performance and lifespan.
3. Hybrid Grid Complementary Solar Led Street Lights
With the ordinary solar street lights, it can’t solve the problem of light-off caused by rainy days and insufficient light. Especially in some high latitudes countries or areas.
In this case, we could consider a kind of solar street light with Hybrid Grid power complementary. It’s main function is to switch to grid power when solar power is insufficient.
In this way, when experiencing a long rainy season, or in areas with insufficient light at high latitudes, solar street lights can function well without the lights shutdown.
