Estimate the Number of Lights
Measure the area where the street lights are planning to setup. Now decide the distance each light should maintain. This is the way to count the number of street lights you need. If this step is avoided, you may end with ordering more lightening system or order a few. With accurate estimate you can order the light system in bulk. It may give you some discounts.
Evaluate the Solar Panels
It is important to evaluate solar panels carefully. There are two types of solar panels- poly-crystalline and mono-crystalline. Conversion rate of mono-crystalline is higher than poly-crystalline. The solar panels are also varied from wattage. Carefully choose the panel that can provide enough electricity. If you have confusion, get guidance from experts.
Decide the Battery
Each solar street light has a battery that stores the energy to use during night in form of light. The lifecycle of a battery is very important. It will affect the backup power. Carefully choose the battery. There are usually two types of batteries- Lead Acid Battery and Gel Cell Deep Cycle Battery.
Pole Quality
Strong poles are necessary because solar street lights can destroy due to wind and storm. Consider the pole with wind resistance quality.
Lightening Fixtures and Controller
These components of street lights cannot be avoided. Make sure the street light has LED light fixture as it has higher lumen with lower energy consumption. It can lighten up the road whole night. Controller is a necessary component that controls switch on and off feature. The sensor of controller allows street lights to automatically on and off by sensing day and night. It also controls overcharging of battery, dimming and lighting.
Shopping from a Recognized Brand
Always consider solar street light manufacturers in Kolkata or any part of India that have good reputation and are registered company. You can prevent yourself from purchasing poor quality street lights.
