Weak sunlight on cloudy or rainy days makes many people believe that integrated LED solar street lights will turn off or dim. But the high-quality outdoor integrated solar lamps can work normally for 2-3 days in cloudy or rainy days, providing stable and continuous lighting. Their core secret to extended battery life is not a single configuration, but a dual guarantee of optimized hardware energy storage and intelligent light control algorithms, comprehensively solving the lighting problem in cloudy and rainy weather.
I. Hardware Upgrade
1.High-efficiency photovoltaic panels that store electricity even in low light
Ordinary streetlight photovoltaic panels can only be charged in strong sunlight, and the charging efficiency is extremely low in cloudy or rainy weather. High-quality integrated solar street lamps adopt high conversion rate monocrystalline silicon solar panels with good low light sensing ability. They are still able to absorb light energy and continue to charge in overcast, foggy and diffuse lighting conditions, making the most of limited sunlight on overcast or rainy days, compensating for lack of charging capability, and providing a fundamental power resource for extended battery life.
2. Large-capacity energy storage battery for longer battery life
Its long battery life is thanks to the way it stores energy. Mainstream integrated solar street lamps use dedicated lithium iron phosphate batteries. Compared to ordinary lithium batteries, it has a larger capacity, more stable discharge and is more resistant to low temperature and rain. The battery has an intelligent voltage regulation and protection system to prevent fast power loss. A full charge can store enough power for stable power supply for several days of rainy weather with no strong sunlight.
3. Fully sealed waterproof protection to prevent power off caused by malfunction
Rainy weather with high humidity and rain can easily cause short circuits and damage the battery. The integrated solar street lamps are completely sealed and waterproof, with an IP65 or higher waterproof rating, preventing rainwater and fog from entering and protecting the battery and wiring and controller from corrosion in rainy weather, avoiding sudden power outages caused by equipment failure.
II. Intelligent Control
1. Dual mode adjustment of intelligent light sensing + time control
Outdoor integrated solar lamps are fitted with an intelligent control system which will automatically turn on and off depending on the ambient light, it also has a timer function. So on cloudy or rainy days, the lights will not light up early because of the dim light during the day, and at night, they will accurately light up, so there will be no unnecessary power consumption and the stored energy will be rationally allocated to avoid waste.
2. Segmented dimming for energy saving on demand
This is the core technology for long time operation in cloudy or rainy weather. Intelligent segment dimming support for street lights When there are few pedestrians and vehicles at night, the brightness is automatically reduced to low-power standby; When the high-brightness illumination is maintained during peak hours at night. The dynamic adjustment of power consumption can greatly reduce the energy consumption, effectively prolong the overall operation time on cloudy or rainy days, so as to achieve stable lighting throughout the night.
TIANXIANG believes that the integrated LED solar street lights can be widely used in many outdoor lighting scenarios such as rural areas, scenic spots and roads, and the long-lasting operation of the integrated solar street lamps under cloudy or rainy weather is a perfect combination of hardware energy storage and intelligent power control, completely eliminating weather limitations.
