How to Make Solar Street Light at Home
Creating a solar street light at home can be a rewarding project for professionals in the solar lighting industry. This guide provides a step-by-step approach to assembling a functional solar street light, ensuring you have the knowledge to implement and maintain these systems effectively.
Components of a Solar Street Light
- Solar Panel: Converts sunlight into electricity. Typically, a 100W panel is sufficient for street lighting (Source: Solar Energy Industries Association).
- Battery: Stores energy for use during nighttime. A 12V, 100Ah deep cycle battery is commonly used (Source: Battery University).
- LED Light: Provides illumination. A 30W LED is often used for street lighting due to its efficiency and longevity (Source: LEDinside).
- Charge Controller: Regulates the flow of electricity from the solar panel to the battery, preventing overcharging. A PWM or MPPT controller can be used (Source: SolarReviews).
- Pole and Mounting Hardware: Supports the solar panel and light fixture. The pole should be sturdy and weather-resistant (Source: American Society of Civil Engineers).
Assembly Steps
- Mount the Solar Panel: Secure the solar panel to the top of the pole, ensuring it faces the sun for maximum exposure.
- Install the Battery: Place the battery in a secure, weatherproof enclosure at the base of the pole.
- Attach the LED Light: Mount the LED light to the pole, positioning it to illuminate the desired area.
- Connect the Charge Controller: Wire the solar panel to the charge controller, then connect the controller to the battery and LED light. Ensure all connections are secure and insulated.
- Test the System: Charge the battery during the day and check if the light turns on automatically at night.
Maintenance Tips
- Clean the Solar Panel: Regularly clean the panel to remove dust and debris, ensuring optimal energy absorption (Source: National Renewable Energy Laboratory).
- Check Battery Health: Monitor the battery's state of charge and replace it if it no longer holds a charge effectively (Source: Battery University).
- Inspect Wiring: Periodically check all connections and wiring for signs of wear or damage, repairing as necessary (Source: Electrical Safety Foundation International).
Troubleshooting Common Issues
- Light Not Turning On: Check the battery charge level and ensure the solar panel is receiving adequate sunlight.
- Dim Light: Verify the LED is functioning correctly and that the battery is fully charged.
- Flickering Light: Inspect the wiring and connections for loose or damaged components.
By following these guidelines, solar lighting professionals can successfully create and maintain solar street lights at home, contributing to sustainable lighting solutions.

Battery and Analysis
What is overcharging and what effect does it have on battery performance?
Positive electrode: 4OH- - 4e → 2H2O + O2↑;①
Negative electrode: 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O②
Since the negative electrode capacity is higher than the positive electrode capacity during design, the oxygen generated by the positive electrode passes through the separator paper and combines with the hydrogen generated by the negative electrode. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the internal pressure of the battery will not increase significantly. However, if the charging current is too large, Or if the charging time is too long, the generated oxygen will not be consumed in time, which may cause the internal pressure to rise, battery deformation, leakage and other adverse phenomena. At the same time, its electrical properties will also be significantly reduced.
Battery Performance and Testing
What is high temperature and high humidity test?
After the battery is fully charged, store it under certain temperature and humidity conditions for several days. During the storage process, observe whether there is any leakage.
The high temperature and humidity test for lithium batteries is: (national standard)
Charge the battery with 1C constant current and constant voltage to 4.2V, with a cut-off current of 10mA, and then put it in a constant temperature and humidity box at (40±2)℃ and a relative humidity of 90%-95%. After leaving it for 48h, take the battery out and put it in (20 Leave it aside for 2 hours at ±5)°C. Observe that there should be no abnormality in the appearance of the battery. Then discharge it to 2.75V at a constant current of 1C, and then perform a 1C charge and 1C discharge cycle at (20±5)°C until the discharge capacity Not less than 85% of the initial capacity, but the number of cycles should not be more than 3 times.
