Introduction
Post-installation inspection is a critical step in the solar street lighting project lifecycle. It ensures that all systems are installed correctly, function properly, and meet performance expectations. A thorough inspection helps prevent future issues, enhances longevity, and ensures client satisfaction.
Key Components of a Post-Installation Inspection
1. Visual and Physical Inspection
- Check if the pole is vertically aligned and stable.
- Ensure all bolts and fasteners are tightened.
- Inspect for corrosion, cracks, or surface damage on lights and panels.
- Check the foundation for any signs of tilting or weakness.
2. Solar Panel Evaluation
- Confirm correct direction and optimal tilt based on location.
- Ensure panels are clean, dust-free, and securely mounted.
- Inspect cable routing for exposure or damage.
3. Battery System Check
- Verify battery type and correct installation.
- Check insulation, waterproofing, and proper ventilation.
- Test battery voltage and charge/discharge controller function.
4. LED Light Fixture Operation
- Confirm brightness and light distribution at night.
- Test automatic sensor and timer functions.
- Ensure consistent illumination throughout the night.
5. Wiring and Electrical Safety
- Inspect all cable connections and junction boxes.
- Check for exposed wires or overheating signs.
- Test voltage using a multimeter and verify surge protection.
6. Environmental and Safety Compliance
- Ensure the lighting does not obstruct paths or signage.
- Check pole height and light intensity meet local regulations.
- Verify grounding system for lightning protection.
7. Documentation and Handover
- Take photos, record GPS location and technical specs.
- Document test results and provide reports to clients.
- Deliver warranty cards, manuals, and emergency contacts.

FAQ
Battery and Analysis
What are the advantages and disadvantages of rechargeable batteries?
Ordinary secondary batteries have a high self-discharge rate, so they are suitable for high-current discharge applications such as digital cameras, toys, power tools, emergency lights, etc., but are not suitable for low-current long-term discharge applications such as remote controls, music doorbells, etc. Not suitable for long-term intermittent use such as flashlights.
Why is it necessary to keep the battery warm when shooting in winter?
Municipal and Public Infrastructure
Can solar streetlights be integrated with smart city solutions?
Yes, our solar streetlights can be integrated with IoT systems for smart monitoring, remote control, and data analytics, making them ideal for modern smart cities.
Sustainability
What factors should be considered when choosing an installation location?
Solar street lights should be installed in areas with abundant sunlight and minimal obstructions to ensure the photovoltaic panels receive maximum sunlight. Avoid locations close to trees or tall buildings that could cast shadows on the panels.
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.
