The Impact of Solar Street Lights on Smart City Development

Solar street lights are a vital component of smart city infrastructure, offering energy efficiency, sustainability, and improved public safety. As urban areas continue to evolve, the integration of these innovative lighting solutions will play a crucial role in creating smarter, more sustainable cities. By adopting solar street lights, cities can reduce energy costs, lower their environmental impact, and enhance the overall quality of life for their residents.

One of such a successful project I have done is located in the south of the Mexico City:

Mexico Project Requirements & Approvals:
Supply 90W Solar LED Street light with Solar panel, Battery, MPPT Controller as follows

Lamp Power: 90W Brand: E-LITE
LED Chip: Philips Lumileds SMD 3030 System efficacy: 200lm/W
Luminous Flux: 18000lm
Operating Temperature: -40°C~60°C Color Rendering Index:>70
Materials: High-Pressure Die-Casting Aluminum, Corrosion Resistant Solar panel: Mono crystalline silicon photovoltaic panels, Class A+ Battery: LiFeP04 Battery with full capacity
Charging controller: MPPT smart controller featuring various dimming options Control: Motion sensor, PIR sensor, Timer dimming.

As a professional solar street light manufacturer, E-lite can provide different types and functions of solar street. One of them is integrated solar street lights. All components of integrated solar street lights, including the solar panel, battery, LED light, and controller, are integrated into a single unit, making it sleek and space-efficient.While all in two solar street light is the intermediate of integrated solar street light and split solar street light.

Things you need to know about Integrated Solar Street Lights:

Solar Street Lights4
1.  LED Module 

High-efficiency  Lumileds, the luminous  efficiency  is  up   to 200LPW,  the  same  luminous flux,  and  the  power  can   be reduced by 50%, which greatly   reduces   the   overall cost.

2.  Lithium Battery 

Usually  use  lithium batteries as   energy   storage.   LiFePo4 batteries is a  key  component in  solar street  lights,  and the

cost is also the highest.

3.  Solar Controller 

At present,  most  of the solar street   lights   on   the market use  PWM  controllers,  which are relatively cheap. But E-lite

insist to high-efficiency  MPPT controllers, which are

relatively expensive.

4.  Sensor device 

For solar  street lights,  sensor devices generally include microwave sensors, PIR sensor,    also    increase    the timer dimming.

5.  Solar Panels 

Adopt   mono   crystalline solar panels. The conversion

efficiency   of   solar   panel    is higher and the price is higher.

 

Why Choose Solar Led Street Lights?
The solar street light is a new type of road lighting fixture. During the day, monocrystalline or polycrystalline silicon solar panels convert solar sun energy into electricity, which is stored in maintenance-free valve-sealed batteries or lithium batteries through the solar controller, and at night, the solar controller controls the discharge of the batteries for the LED lights to work. It will bring many benefits.

Energy saving
Convert solar energy into electricity to drive LED street lamps to work. Solar energy is inexhaustible.

Improved Public Safety
Solar street lights contribute to enhanced public safety by providing consistent and reliable lighting. Well-lit streets and public spaces deter criminal activities and improve visibility for pedestrians and drivers, reducing the risk of accidents.

Flexible application
Off-grid solar street lights do not require a grid power supply and can operate autonomously as long as there is sunlight, which is very flexible, so they can use even in remote power-deficient areas. Hybrid solar street that combine the benefits of solar and AC lighting. It’s provide a reliability of AC power with the environmental benefits of solar energy, creating a lighting solution that is both sustainable and dependable.

Less investment
The solar street light system not need power supply equipment, can be completely automated operation, no need for personnel management, so low operation, and maintenance costs.

Conclusion:
Advancements in solar technology are continually being made. Consider upgrading your solar lights periodically to take advantage of newer, more efficient models that offer better performance and energy savings. 
Investing in solar lights is a smart and sustainable way to reduce your energy bill. By making this eco-friendly switch, you not only save money but also contribute to a greener planet. Embrace the benefits of solar lights and watch your energy costs decrease while enjoying reliable, low-maintenance lighting.
