Solar Street Light
Overview
A stand alone solar photovoltaic street lighting system comprises a compact fluorescent lamp, lead acid battery, PV module mounting hardware, battery box, operation, instruction and maintenance manual.
The system is designed to automatically switch ON at dusk operate throughout. The right and automatically switch OFF at the dawn, under average daily insulation of 5 KWH/ sq.m on a horizontal surface
About Battery
Solar Street Light consists of positives plate, (tubular) lead Exide battery the minimum rating of battery is 12V. 75AH at (C/10) discharge rate. It is low maintenance battery that gives reliable services if properly used. It should be regularly charged with the supplied SPV module. The charging & discharging operation of the battery is controlled through charge controller. It is placed inside a suitable luminaire.
Flooded electrolyte type, positive tubular plate, low maintenance lead acid battery.
The battery is having a minimum rating of 12V, 75AH (at C/10) discharge rate.
The battery is capable of withstanding discharge to a level of 23% of its rated capacity, without damage or loss of cycle life.
About Photovoltaic & SPV Module
The PV module(s) shall contain crystalline silicon solar cells. The power output of the module(s) under STC is 37 W (if 2 modules are used) or 74 W (in case of a single module). The operating voltage corresponding to the power output mentioned above 16, 4V. Photovoltaic means generation of voltage (electricity) with the help of photo (light), it is semi conductor device generally called solar cell. When the source of light is the sun It is called Solar Photovoltaic.
In SPV Module, the solar cells are connected & mounted in a modular form to give required output to a system. This is a low voltage DC source device. When it is exposed to sun, it produces electrical energy from light energy. The SPV Module chargers the battery which connected through the controller of SL SOLAR STREET LIGHT is 37W under STC. The operating voltage corresponding to the power output mentioned above is 16.4V.
It mainly consist of the following:
