Why Is My Solar Street Light Not Working?
Experiencing issues with your solar street light? You're not alone. Many professionals in the solar lighting field encounter similar problems. Let's explore the common reasons behind these malfunctions and how to address them.
Insufficient Sunlight Exposure
- Shading Issues: Solar panels require direct sunlight to charge efficiently. Nearby trees, buildings, or other obstructions can cast shadows, reducing the panel's ability to capture sunlight.
