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.

Battery Performance and Testing
What are the common charging methods?
1) Constant current charging: The charging current is a certain value during the entire charging process. This method is the most common;
2) Constant voltage charging: During the charging process, both ends of the charging power supply maintain a constant value, and the current in the circuit gradually decreases as the battery voltage increases;
3) Constant current and constant voltage charging: The battery is first charged with constant current (CC). When the battery voltage rises to a certain value, the voltage remains unchanged (CV), and the current in the circuit drops to very small, eventually tending to 0.
