As an environmentally friendly product, solar traffic lights have received widespread attention today when resources are scarce, and have been gradually popularized and applied. However, many people now have certain prejudices about the product. For example, the effect of the product is not so ideal. In fact, this may be caused by the wrong installation method. Let’s introduce in detail 8 common misunderstandings in the installation of solar traffic lights.
1, freely extend the solar panel cable
In some locations, because of the interference of installing solar panels, the panels and the lights will be separated by a long distance, and then two-core wires can be bought on the market to connect them at will. Since the quality of the general wires on the market is not very good, and the distance between the wires is very long and the wire loss is large, the charging efficiency will be reduced a lot, which will affect the lighting time of the solar traffic signal lights.
2, solar panel charging efficiency is low
The correct angle adjustment of the solar panel needs to follow simple principles. For example, let the sun shine directly on the solar panel, then the charging efficiency is large; in different places, the tilt angle of the solar panel can refer to the local latitude, and adjust the solar traffic light solar panel according to the latitude. The angle of inclination.
4, double-sided installation of lights causes the solar panels to tilt face to face
The installer may install the solar traffic light solar panels face-to-face and symmetrically for aesthetic reasons, but if one side is oriented correctly, the other side must be wrong, so the wrong side will be caused by the fact that the light cannot directly reach the solar panel. The charging efficiency will decrease.
5. Can’t light up
If there is a reference light source next to the solar panel, the charging voltage of the solar panel will be above the light control voltage point and the light cannot be turned on. For example, if there is another light source next to the solar traffic signal light, the light source next to it will turn on when the night falls, which will cause the solar panel of the signal light to detect the light source and mistake it for the day. At this time, the solar traffic signal controller will control it and not let it. It lights up.
6, solar panels are placed indoors for charging
Some customers will install solar lights in the parking shed to facilitate parking at night, but also install solar panels in the shed, so the charging effect will naturally be greatly reduced. In this case, we can use outdoor charging, indoor discharging, or installation of solar panels and lights separately to solve the problem.
7. Too many obstructions in the installation place lead to a decrease in the charging efficiency of the solar panel. For example, obstructions such as leaves and buildings block the light and affect the absorption and utilization of light energy.
8. The on-site personnel will not use the engineering remote control correctly, which causes the solar traffic signal light parameter setting to be wrong and does not turn on.
The above are 8 common misunderstandings when we install solar traffic lights. The editor here hopes that everyone can master the correct installation method and standardize the operation, so that not only can the product be better promoted but also save energy.
