They are controlled by intelligent charge and discharge controllers to replace traditional public electric lighting street lights. They use solar power generation, and have advantages that other conventional energy sources do not have, such as incomparable cleanliness, high safety, relative breadth and sufficiency of energy, long life, and maintenance-free. Solar street lights do not require laying cables, AC power supply, or electricity bills. They use DC power supply and control, and have good stability, long life, high luminous efficiency, easy installation and maintenance, high safety performance, energy saving and environmental protection, and economical and practical advantages. They are widely used in main and secondary roads in cities, communities, factories, tourist attractions, parking lots and other places.
