Do solar lights work in rain weather?

Solar street lights are powered by crystalline silicon solar cells, maintenance-free valve-regulated sealed batteries that store electric energy, super bright LED lamps are used as light sources, and are controlled by intelligent charge and discharge controllers, with good stability, long life, and high luminous efficiency. Easy installation and maintenance, energy saving and environmental protection, etc. At present, it is widely used in urban main and secondary arterial roads, residential areas, parking lots, and other places. Therefore, many people worry about whether the solar lights will not light up on rainy days, and they don't know how to maintain them during the rainy season.

First of all, the current technology, will definitely not affect the use of LED solar streetlights on rainy days. Because the LED solar street light itself and the electrical system are designed to be waterproof, and the working principle of the solar street light is to generate electricity through the solar panel using sunlight and store it in the battery of the solar street light, that is to say, the larger the size of the solar panel, the more the charging capacity. The larger, and larger the solar street light battery specification, the more electricity can be stored.

If you need solar lights to last longer on rainy days, you need to increase the specifications of solar panels and solar street light batteries at the same time. Of course, this also explains why the higher the configuration, the more expensive the price. All in all, generally speaking, it will continue to light up on rainy days. As long as the power of solar panels and battery capacity is sufficient, general rural solar lights can meet continuous rainy days for about 7 days, and the general configuration can last for 3-5 working days.

With the prolongation of the use time of solar lights, there will inevitably be abnormalities that cause the solar lights to not be too bright. If it cannot be used, there should be a problem with the product, which can be analyzed from the following aspects: The battery is of poor quality. The normal warranty period of the battery is three or five years, and the quality of the battery will affect its use. The accessories used in the product are of poor quality and have a short service life. The most important point is that the solar street lamp controller is damaged, the waterproof effect of the controller will directly affect the life of the controller, and the waterproof performance is relatively poor, which will lead to direct damage to the controller.

In the season of frequent rain, the charge and discharge controller may be exposed to rain and dampness, resulting in a short circuit on the circuit board, burning out the control device (transistor), and seriously causing corrosion and deterioration of the circuit board, which cannot be repaired.

2. The lighting surface of the solar panel should always be kept clean. If there is dust or other dirt, it should be rinsed with clean water first, and then gently wiped dry with clean gauze. Do not rinse with hard objects or corrosive solvents.

3. The battery pack used in conjunction with the solar panel should strictly follow the maintenance method of the battery to avoid water ingress into the battery.

4. Regularly check the wiring of the solar street light electrical system to avoid loose wiring.

5. Regularly check the grounding resistance of solar street lights.

All in all, solar street lamps rely on solar power to generate electricity. Some people may worry that after the recent continuous and rapid heavy rainfall, there is no need to worry about this. The battery capacity of solar street lamps is configured according to the needs of the region. 3-5 There is absolutely no problem with lighting on rainy days.
