Capacity and hardware design of solar street lights1

The design of solar street light system includes two aspects: capacity design and hardware design.

The main purpose of the capacity design of the solar street light system is to calculate the capacity of the solar cell modules and storage batteries required for the reliable operation of the system throughout the year. At the same time, we must pay attention to the relationship between the maximum reliability of the system work and the system cost, and minimize the cost on the basis of meeting the maximum reliability of the system work.

The main purpose of the hardware design of the solar street light system is to select the appropriate hardware equipment according to the actual situation, including the selection of solar cell components, bracket design, cable selection, control system design, lightning protection design, lighting and illumination design, etc. The software and hardware aspects of the system need to be considered comprehensively when designing the system.

Before the design of solar street light system, it is necessary to understand the basic data required for calculation and selection: the geographical location of the solar street light system installation, including location, latitude, longitude and altitude; meteorological data of the area, etc.
