Off-grid or grid-connected solar street lights

Solar street lights are divided into two types: off-grid and grid-connected. Each has unique characteristics and can meet the lighting needs of different scenarios.

Off-grid solar street lights are lighting systems that are completely independent of the power grid. They use solar panels to collect solar energy and store electricity in batteries to provide lighting at night. This type of street light does not require cable wiring and is easy to install. It is an ideal choice for remote areas, rural roads or areas without grid coverage.

Off-grid street lights manage battery charging and discharging through an intelligent control system, ensuring reliable lighting even in continuous rainy weather. Its biggest advantage is energy independence, which is not affected by grid outages, while reducing electricity bills and maintenance costs. The disadvantage is that it relies on battery energy storage, which requires regular replacement or maintenance, and weather factors may affect performance.

Grid-connected solar street lights are connected to the public power grid. Solar panels collect energy during the day to power street lights, and excess electricity can be transmitted to the grid to achieve energy feedback; at night or when solar energy is insufficient, the grid provides supplementary power.
