Split solar streetlights are widely used in rural roads, municipal roads, parks, scenic areas and other outdoor places, which are always exposed to the complex environment of wind, rain, direct sunlight and lightning. Their split structure is composed of many elements such as photovoltaic panels, batteries, controllers and light poles. Leakage, tipping and short circuits are all safety hazards which can easily result from improper use and maintenance. It is very important to learn outdoor safety knowledge to ensure traffic safety and the stable operation of equipment. TIANXIANG gives practical safety advice covering three areas: protection during installation, everyday use and regular maintenance.
I. Installation and Construction Safety
Correct installation is a must for the long term safe operation of separated photovoltaic street lights. It is important to pay attention to detail to avoid possible safety hazards to the foundation.
1. Standard installation of foundation and light pole.
A standard concrete foundation should be poured to the height of the light pole to provide a firm and solid base. Shallow and partial burial is prohibited. The light pole will not be tilted or knocked over to prevent road safety accidents and this strongly resists the wind and heavy rain.
2. Repair of wiring insulation and waterproofing.
Multi interface wiring separated photovoltaic street lights. All wiring ports should be sealed and made waterproof after installation. Use outdoor rated cables that are waterproof and flame retardant. Do not expose or damage wiring as this can allow rainwater in leading to short circuits or leakage.
3. Standard equipment includes grounding and lightning protection devices.
Open areas outdoors are very susceptible to lightning strikes. All split-type solar streetlights should be equipped with surge protectors and grounding devices. Lightning strikes may damage the controller and battery , resulting in equipment burnout or even safety accidents. To avoid this , proper grounding procedures should be followed.
II. Daily Use Safety and Hazard Mitigation
When used outdoors on a daily basis, environmental factors and human negligence can easily lead to safety problems. It is important to follow standard safety precautions.
1. Modification and disassembly without permission is strictly prohibited.
Amateurs are not allowed to disassemble core components such as photovoltaic panels, batteries and controllers. This is a big safety hazard, it will easily damage the circuit system and cause leakage and equipment burning out.
2. Avoid obstacles and inflammable and explosive materials.
The surface should be clear of any obstructions for the photovoltaic panels. In addition, no straw, debris and other inflammable and explosive materials shall be piled around the split solar streetlights so as to avoid fire caused by heat dissipation during operation and eliminate fire safety hazards.
3. Severe weather prevention.
Look at the split solar streetlights after a heavy rain, a typhoon or a blizzard. If you see swaying poles, water-damaged wiring or damaged photovoltaic panels, disconnect power immediately and stop using the equipment. Before using again, check for hazards.
III. Regular Safety Maintenance to Extend Equipment Lifespan
Routine safety maintenance allows troubleshooting to be done in time, prevents small problems from becoming safety hazards, and helps maintain stable operation of the equipment.
1. Routine cleaning and inspecting of components.
Clean off the surface of the photovoltaic panels regularly to remove dust, debris and snow. Check the age of the light source and look for damage to the lamp housing. Do not damage components that could affect operation or create risks such as leaks and flickering lights.
2. Wires and batteries should be inspected regularly.
Inspect wiring and aging regularly. Look for bulging/leaking battery cases. If defective, repair or replace immediately to avoid safety accidents caused by battery leakage or short circuit.
3. Immediately repair defective equipment.
If you find any abnormalities such as separated photovoltaic street lights that are not working or flickering frequently or live poles, you should immediately disconnect the power and stop using the streetlights. Contact professional technicians for repair. Never operate a faulty separated photovoltaic street light to ensure comprehensive outdoor lighting safety.
