What is vertical LED solar street light?
Vertical LED solar street light is an excellent innovation with the latest LED lighting technology. It adopts the vertical solar modules (flexible or cylindrical shape) by surrounding the pole instead of regular solar panel installed on the top of the pole. Comparing with traditional solar led street light, it has a very cosmetic appearance in the same look as traditional street light. Vertical solar street lights can be categorized as one type of split solar street lights, where the lighting module (or light housing) and the panel are separated. The adjective “vertical” is used to depict the orientation of the solar panel in solar street lights. In traditional lights, the panel is fixed on top of the light pole or light housing facing the sunlight above at a certain tiling angle. While in vertical lights, the solar panel is fixed vertically, parallel to the light pole.
What are the advantages of vertical LED solar street light compare to other lights?
1.Different solar panel type
As we know, the most notable difference between vertical and traditional solar street lights lies in how the panel is secured. So there can be different solar panel varieties for vertical LED solar street lights. E-Lite has designed two kinds of solar panel module for the Artemis series solar street lighting: Cylindrical and Flexible silicon solar panel modules.
For the cylindrical version, the panel can be sliced into six pieces of bands and then encased around the light pole. Another flexible solar panels are electricity-generating devices made of ultra-thin silicon cells, usually just a few micrometers wide, sandwiched between layers of protective plastic. Both these panels adopt mono-crystalline solar cell technology which works well in low and high-temperature and creating a more elegant appeal for the street light.
2.360°full day charging and more illumination choice
6 slim solar panel modules or flexible round film panel modules are fixed tightly onto a hexagon frame which ensures 50% of solar panel will face sunshine at any time of the day no onsite orientation is needed. The illuminance a solar street light can provide for the roadway underneath is one of the key metrics to consider during the procurement process. Though this is directly linked to the lighting device’s luminous efficacy, power rate plays a fundamental role here. E-Lite vertical solar street lights have more room for expansion. We can prolong the height/length of the panel to obtain more conversion area for higher power output without inducing serious risk during harsh climates. The higher output is capable of powering a high-power light and charging a large-capacity battery. Ultimately, the illumination choice for these lights is much broader.
3.Easy maintenance and more safety
Dirt and bird droppings are not easy to accumulate on the vertically set panels, which not only helps to cut down labor costs for panel cleaning but maintains a stable output to power the light and charge the battery. Since E-Lite’s vertical LED solar street lights employ several pieces of panel bands to generate power, the costs to replace a damaged panel are technically lower. In contrast, technicians must replace the whole, large panel in traditional lights despite minor damage on the panel. As we already mentioned above, the panel in traditional lights is large and set at a certain tilting angle, supported by the pole. It is comparatively easier to be blown down under strong winds in certain regions, posing safety issues for the vehicles and passengers-by underneath. Though the panel on traditional all-in-one street lights is secured more firmly on the housing, it does add weight to the all-in-one housing module leading to similar risks. Luckily, the panel in vertical lights is in a narrow form and adheres closely to the base structure, parallel to the pole and perpendicular to the ground. It works well in withstanding and unloading wind force, strengthening the safety of the application.
4.Design aesthetics
The module system is the real answer to design aesthetics, providing a compact and fully integrated green energy solution to the pole. Many solar street light products on the market still present a bulky impression with huge panels for buyers, which is especially the case for first-generation split or even all-in-one lights. Regardless of how the vertical panel is installed, the narrow design exerts a slimming effect on the street light without compromising energy output, being an excellent choice for projects with high aesthetics pursuit.
The vertically set panel gives a brand-new appeal for solar street lights. There is no need to prop up a heavy, unlovely panel on top of the pole, or the light housing would not necessarily be molded bigger only to hold and fix the panel. The whole light becomes slimmer and more elegant, giving out a more pleasant visual appeal while operating in a “net-zero” manner.
