While bringing great changes to our night life, solar street lights themselves are also constantly innovating and changing, developing in a more humane, intelligent and environmentally friendly direction, and the cost performance is constantly improving. However, the prices of solar street lights vary. How to choose, which one is the most cost-effective?
The whole set of solar street lights mainly includes solar panels, batteries, controllers, LED lamps, and light poles. The price is finally determined based on the choice of accessories. Today, the solar street light manufacturer TIANXIANG will take you to understand it together.
As a professional solar street light manufacturer, TIANXIANG products are reasonably priced and of excellent quality. They select high-conversion photovoltaic panels, long-life batteries and intelligent controllers. From raw materials to finished products, they have undergone 8 quality inspections to ensure both lighting efficiency and durability. At the same time, by optimizing the supply chain and large-scale production, more competitive prices are given at the same quality, so that customers do not need to pay for premiums and enjoy high-quality products that stand the test of time at a fair price.

1. Solar panel cost
For the cost of various components of solar street lights, the solar panel undoubtedly accounts for the majority. The price of the solar panel is mainly affected by the material itself. Commonly used ones are amorphous silicon, polycrystalline silicon and amorphous silicon. Among them, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of monocrystalline silicon is higher and the price is also higher.
For the same material, the other thing that will obviously affect the price is the area of the solar panel. When purchasing, you must pay attention to these two aspects and then see if the price is reasonable.
2. Light source cost
LED lights are the standard light source of solar street lights. They are not very high in the overall cost of solar street lights, but compared with some other general light sources, they are still expensive. Of course, it is expensive for its own reasons. It has perfect dimming function, good lighting effect, comfortable eyes, energy saving and environmental protection. In the process of lighting, it will not release carbon dioxide like high-pressure sodium lamps, which is very friendly to the environment. The lifespan is also higher than some other light sources. Needless to say, you have to consider changing the light source after using it, which actually saves costs invisibly.
Therefore, it is recommended to choose a suitable LED light source according to the lighting environment of the solar street light. Don't choose other general light sources for the sake of cheapness.
3. Battery cost
Although it is not as high as the proportion of solar panels in the overall cost of solar street lights, the cost of batteries is not small. Its quality has a direct impact on the lighting time and brightness of street lights. The batteries used in current street lights are all lithium batteries. Compared with the lead-acid batteries in the past, they have obvious advantages in discharge depth and charging time, and can better adapt to the environment, so the price will be higher.
4. Light pole cost
The cost of light poles is also an important factor in determining the overall price of solar street lights. Different materials, different processes, and different heights have a great impact on the price of the light poles themselves. For example, aluminum is more expensive than steel poles, and for steel poles, hot-dip galvanized poles are more expensive than cold-dip galvanized poles. Be sure to pay attention when purchasing.
5. Controller cost
The price of solar street light controller is affected by type function (normal/intelligent, PWM/MPPT), specification parameters (current, voltage), brand supply and demand, and production process materials (circuit board, components). The higher the function, parameters, and quality, the higher the cost and price.
5. Brand influence
Generally speaking, brands often carry their own quality. For big brands, they can spend more money and energy on the research and development of solar street lights, and the related equipment involved should be more trustworthy. The final result is the quality difference, which also brings price differences. Therefore, when buying, you should also pay attention to the brand of solar street lights!
