Is the Cost of Solar Street Light High?

There are many types of solar energy products, such as solar water heaters, solar battery packs, solar insulation cups, solar umbrellas, etc. In addition to solar water heaters, solar street lights should be the most suitable for our lives. The solar energy street light has come into view, and traditional street lights are gradually fading out of our sight. Why is the cost of solar street lights higher than traditional street lights?

1. Why is the cost of solar street light higher?

The solar energy street light is a high-tech product. It is advanced and beautiful, in line with our expectations for products in the new era. The first reason why the cost of solar street lights is higher than that of traditional street lights is that the solar energy street light has more advanced systems. For example, it absorbs sunlight and converts it into electricity to emit light. It will automatically light up at night and automatically cut off the power when it detects that water is about to enter the system. How can such advanced products not be loved?

The second reason is that the solar street light cost is still linked to customer needs. The general configuration is definitely different from the high-specification requirements. For example, a light pole of 5 meters can be equipped with 15W, 20W or even 30W light source. It requires 4-10 hours to turn on the lights at night, and the specifications of the solar panels and batteries are different. Is it difficult for customers to accept the price difference of 1000 RMB to 2000RMB for the same 5-meter pole? Therefore, the solar street light cost still depends on customer requirements.

2. The solar street light cost is lower than the cost of traditional street lights in the long run

With the substantial reduction in the cost of solar panels, the improvement of battery performance, and the popularity of LED light sources, the advantages of solar street lamps are very obvious compared to ordinary street lamps. The more complicated the conditions of use and the longer the lighting time, the more it can show its advantages. Compared with the cost of traditional street lights, the solar street light cost may be higher when they are purchased. However, solar street lights belong to the one-time investment and long-term benefits. Due to the simple wiring, no maintenance costs are incurred, or expensive electricity bills are generated. So from a long-term perspective, the solar street light cost is lower than that of traditional street lights.
