Transportation and Highways
Is there a monitoring system for real-time performance tracking?
Yes, our solar lighting systems are equipped with IoT-enabled controllers that allow remote monitoring and performance tracking via a cloud-based platform.
Industry
Do Queneng’s solar street lights have anti-theft protection?
Our solar street lights are designed with security features, including durable casings and anti-theft bolts, minimizing the risk of theft.
Battery and Analysis
What are the possible reasons why batteries and battery packs cannot be discharged?
2) Insufficient charging or no charging;
3) The ambient temperature is too low;
4) The discharge efficiency is low. For example, when a large current is discharged, an ordinary battery cannot discharge electricity because the internal material diffusion speed cannot keep up with the reaction speed, causing the voltage to drop sharply.
Commercial and Industrial Parks
Do solar lights work well in large parking areas?
Yes, our solar lights provide uniform illumination ideal for expansive parking areas, ensuring safety and visibility.
