FAQ

WHAT ARE SOLAR POST TOP LIGHTS?

Solar post top lights are typically composed of various components, including an LED light source, a solar panel, a battery, and additional electronic elements. The solar panel plays a vital role by converting sunlight into electrical energy, which is then stored in the battery for later use during times of low ambient light. As the sun sets, a light sensor or timer within the fixture is triggered, causing the light to automatically turn on. This illumination persists throughout the night, providing reliable lighting.

These lights find widespread application in outdoor settings such as pathways, parks, gardens, parking lots, and residential streets. Positioned at the top of pole, they offer excellent visibility and broad coverage. Solar post top lights come with numerous advantages, including energy efficiency, cost savings, simplified installation, and their eco-friendly nature due to their reliance on renewable solar power. By harnessing sunlight, they obviate the necessity for conventional electrical connections, resulting in a practical and sustainable lighting solution.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO USE SOLAR POST TOP LIGHTS IN ANY CLIMATE

Solar post top lights are suitable in most climates, although their performance may differ depending on specific conditions. Generally, these lights are engineered to endure a range of weather patterns, making them functional in hot, cold, humid, and inclement climates. However, it is advisable to assess product specifications and consult the manufacturer to confirm compatibility with the intended climate before buying. As long as the solar panels receive enough sunlight to fully charge the battery, the climate conditions should not pose a problem.

CAN SOLAR POST TOP LIGHTS BE USED IN COASTAL AREAS WITH HIGH SALT CONTENT IN THE AIR?

Coastal areas pose significant challenges for solar lighting. The presence of saltwater and salty air can negatively impact the efficiency of solar panels. The corrosive nature of salt can lead to malfunctions or even total failure of the panel's components. Over time, this corrosion gradually erodes the metallic parts of the solar panels due to the corrosive ions present in the salty air or water.

When it comes to short-term exposure, occasional contact with saltwater during storms or high tides, especially if the panels are mostly kept dry throughout the year, won't cause significant damage.

However, long-term exposure to salty air or water can result in a gradual decline in electricity production. Even intermittent contact with saltwater, during certain periods when storms and high tides make direct contact unavoidable, can be equally damaging as regular daily exposure.

The extent of damage will ultimately depend on how frequently the panels become wet or are exposed to salty air on a monthly basis.
