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.

FAQ
Battery and Analysis
What certifications have the company's products passed?
Battery Performance and Testing
What is the internal pressure of the battery?
For example, overcharge, positive electrode: 4OH- - 4e → 2H2O + O2↑;
①The generated oxygen reacts with the hydrogen precipitated on the negative electrode to form water 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O
②If the speed of reaction ② is lower than the speed of reaction ①, the oxygen produced will not be consumed in time, which will cause the internal pressure of the battery to increase.
Municipal and Public Infrastructure
What happens if the battery runs out of charge?
Our solar streetlights use advanced battery management systems to optimize energy usage. Even during prolonged cloudy or rainy periods, the lights can function at reduced brightness to conserve energy.
