    Solar Street Lamps, as an important part of modern urban lighting, have received widespread attention for their environmentally friendly and energy-saving characteristics. However, the service life of solar street lamps is influenced by various factors, among which, the light source, battery, light source starter, and solar street lamp controller are all key factors that determine their lifespan. Next, let's delve into these influencing factors.


    The lighting source of solar street lamps


    The light source is the core component of solar street lamps, and its quality and type directly determine the lighting effect and service life of the street light. Common light sources on the market include low-pressure sodium lamps, LED lamps, among others. Among them, LED lamps are widely used for their high efficiency and long life. A high-quality LED lamp can last for over 50,000 hours, equivalent to a lifespan of 10 years. Therefore, when selecting solar street lamps, we should give priority to products using high-quality LED light sources.


    The battery selection for solar street lamps


    The battery is another crucial component of solar street lamps, its performance directly affects the lighting time and stability of the street light. A stable and reliable battery can ensure that the street light remains brightly lit for a long time. Furthermore, the waterproof performance of the battery is also crucial because if the battery gets water inside, it will seriously affect its lifespan. Therefore, when installing and maintaining solar street lamps, we must ensure that the battery is installed tightly to prevent moisture intrusion.


    The light source starter for solar street lamps


    The light source starter is equally important for the stable operation of solar street lamps. Different light sources require different starting methods, therefore, it is necessary to equip the appropriate ballast or driver. Especially for LED light sources, constant current drive is crucial for their stability. The quality and parameters of the constant current source, whether they are suited for the light source, will directly affect the lighting effect and service life of the light source. Therefore, when selecting solar street lamps, we should also pay attention to the performance and parameter settings of their light source starters.


    The controller of solar street lamps


    The solar street lamp controller is the "brain" of the street light system, responsible for controlling the working states of photovoltaic components, batteries, and loads to ensure the stable operation of the entire system. A high-precision, highly stable controller can ensure that the street light works normally under various environmental conditions, especially when the battery power is insufficient or operating under under-voltage, the controller can reasonably allocate resources to ensure the brightness and stability of the street light. Additionally, the controller can also monitor and maintain the working state of the street light, quickly identifying and solving problems to extend the lifespan of the street lamp.


    In summary, the service life of solar street lamps is affected by many factors, among which the light source, battery, light source starter, and controller are key factors. To ensure the stable operation and extended service life of solar street lamps, we should consider these factors thoroughly when choosing and using them, selecting reliable, stable performance products, and carrying out correct installation and maintenance.

    FAQ

    How long is your product warranty?

    Generally 3-10 years warranty , vary from different items.

    Is Anern a solar inverter manufacturer or a system integrator?

    Anern operates as a solar energy solutions manufacturer, supplying solar inverters as part of integrated solar power systems that combine power conversion, energy storage, and system-level design for various solar applications.

    Do solar panels work on rainy days?

    Rain actually helps solar panels work more efficiently. This is because rain will wash away any dirt or dust that collects on the panels so they can absorb sunlight more efficiently. Anern's solar panels actually generate more electricity than you need during peak sunlight hours. This excess power can be used to provide additional power on  days or at night.

    Does Anern produce lithium batteries for solar storage?

    Yes, Anern produces lithium batteries. 


    Multiple references explicitly confirm this:

    Anern's product lineup includes various types of Solar Lithium Batteries, such as Wall Mounted, Floor Type, Rack Mounted, and Lead-Acid Replacement Batteries for different applications.

    They manufacture specific lithium battery product lines like the AN-LFP Series (12.8V50AH, 12.8V100AH, 12.8V300AH) and AN-LPB-Nplus/Npro Series wall-mounted batteries (24V-51.2V configurations).

    Anern specializes in lithium battery manufacturing alongside energy storage systems (ESS), explicitly stating: "With over 16 years of solar industry experience, Anern specializes in lithium battery manufacturing.

    Their direct product catalog lists 12V, 24V, and 48V lithium-ion batteries as core "Hot Products".

    Technical documentation confirms their lithium batteries feature LiFePO4 chemistry, smart BMS protection, and certifications (CE, ROHS, UN38.3).


    Does Anern supply solar energy storage systems (ESS)?

    Anern supplies integrated solar energy storage systems that combine lithium battery storage with solar inverters and system components for residential, commercial, and off-grid solar power applications.
