As Earth's resources become increasingly scarce, the investment cost of basic energy continues to climb, and various safety and pollution hazards are ubiquitous, solar energy, as a "never-ending" safe and environmentally friendly new energy source, is receiving more and more attention. Meanwhile, with the development and progress of solar energy photovoltaic technology, the use of solar power in street lighting has been developing by leaps and bounds. However, with the arrival of the cold winter season, many consumers may wonder whethersolar light street lamps will be affected in winter?
Solar road lamps are not affected under normal winter conditions. However, if it snows, they may be affected, especially in regions like Northeast China, which have heavy snow and mist in winter. Once solar panels are covered with thick snow, it will hinder the panels from receiving sunlight, thus preventing the solar light street lamps from having enough thermal energy converted to electrical energy for lighting. Therefore, to ensure the normal use of solar road lamps in winter, the snow on the panels should be cleared manually or mechanically when necessary.
If solar panels are not cleaned for a long time and accumulate too much dust, it will affect electricity generation. In some places, this is because it often snows, and the snow covers the solar panels, causing insufficient power generation.
If the battery is buried too shallowly in winter, the cold weather can cause the battery to "freeze," leading to insufficient discharge. Normally, in cold regions, the battery needs to be buried at least 1 meter deep with a 20 cm layer of sand at the bottom to facilitate water dispersion, thereby extending the battery's life.
Solar road lamps reach a certain lifespan, the batteries have a certain number of charge and discharge cycles, and the power will gradually decrease with the increase in use, so it is normal for the illumination time of solar light street lamps to gradually reduce after more than 3 years of use.
Prevent icing: When selecting solar panels, choose products with good craftsmanship, fewer seams, and fewer welding points. Solar panels should have a simple and smooth design and be waterproof, to prevent icing. In cold regions, to prevent solar road lamps from icing, everyone knows that cold regions often have rainy and snowy weather. Such weather can easily cause a layer of ice to form on street lights, because solar light street lamps rely on solar panels to collect solar energy for power generation, and if the panels are iced over, it will cause solar light street lamps to be unable to operate normally.
