Heavy rain, strong winds and typhoons are common in summer. Outdoor solar integrated street lights are always exposed to the natural environment, so they are vulnerable to water ingress, loose support, collapse, and shortened battery life. To guarantee safe and stable operation of lighting equipment and minimize project failure and rework losses, comprehensive protection from heavy rain and strong winds is required. Here are some practical protection tips from solar street lamp factory TIANXIANG.
I. Pre-emptive Inspection and Reinforcement Before Heavy Rains and Strong Winds
Everyday is a good day to protect yourself, before you get sick. Start by thoroughly inspecting the all in one solar road lamp fixture mounting brackets and pole screws. Tighten any loose parts immediately. Also replace or reinforce any old or loose brackets so lights are not ripped off by high winds. Second, check the waterproof structure of the solar integrated street light fixture to ensure that the joints and sealing strips are not aging or cracking, and prevent rainwater from seeping into the internal circuitry. Clear weeds, branches and floating debris from around photovoltaic panels to ensure a clean, unobstructed light receiving surface. At the same time check the base of the all in one solar road lamp poles, backfill and compact any loose soil to prevent waterlogging and subsequent tilting.
II. During Severe Weather
Precautions During heavy rain and typhoons, personnel are strictly prohibited from approaching or touching solar integrated street light equipment, so as to avoid the risks of electric leakage and falling objects. For streetlights in open windy areas, mountainous areas and coastal areas, proactively look out for potential obstructions to prevent strong winds blowing debris that could impact the lights. The solar integrated street lights are also equipped with intelligent voltage stabilization and waterproof design, so they do not need to be manually powered off. The equipment is resistant to harsh weather conditions, just ensure that the equipment is unobstructed and not subject to impacts from the outside, to reduce the chances of damage.
III. After Storms
Inspection & Maintenance Inspect and service immediately after the storms have passed. First of all, the surface of the photovoltaic panels should be cleaned of water, mud and fallen leaves in time to restore the charging efficiency and prevent the long-term accumulation of dirt, leading to insufficient charging and shortened lighting time. Second, check to see if the light pole is leaning, the light fixture is out of place or the casing is damaged. Immediately tighten and secure the light fixtures. Third, check the lighting status, troubleshooting such problems as flickering, no light or short battery life. Check moisture inside. If slightly damp, ventilate and dry. Repair faulty equipment or replace it as needed.
