Solar energy is the most direct and clean renewable energy on the earth. As energy issues become more prominent, for the progress and development of solar photovoltaic technology, solar street light applications are being increasingly widely appreciated. It absorbs energy sun light, charging during the day, using in the evening. It is easy to manage, without laying the expensive cable. The bright of light can be adjustable. It is safe, energy saving and no pollution of the environment.

But how to effectively use the solar street light? Of course, manager needs to control it intelligently.

An intelligent street light controller can be used in outdoor lighting systems, can help local communities effectively use of electric power. According to the time of the local manager can adjust the light intensity. Through RS485, RS232 and other communication interface, you can effectively remote control lights.

Using the advanced science and technology, Intelligent light controller can be effectively used in street lights control system, It can smartly control light's on and off through the local latitude and longitude, it also has midnight mode.

However, what's the key benefits of using solar lights and intelligent control it? Please read the follows.

1. To reduce energy costs

Currently, for the safety of pedestrians, there is no any city can completely turn off all lights at night, but not every street and road need turn on the lights at the whole time. Therefore, according to a survey on the site and poll, a viable way to dim the lights, so the light bright levels can be adjusted to 50%. in which case you have already saved 40% electricity consumption. To achieve energy-saving effect. Typically, manager can set the lights dimmed at the non-peak activity time of people. The time is 11 pm and 05 am.

2. To reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

With the energy saving, a corresponding reduction of carbon dioxide emissions in your community's, that means saving 1500 kwh of electricity consumption, it can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 1 ton.

3. To reduce maintenance costs

Intelligent monitoring the operation of the lights, you can clearly acquire whether there has some lights been damaged in your community. And can make a effective maintenance plan. But not your patrol to check the street light whether have run normally by visual inspection, or need to rely on the complaints from the public, to know where the lights need repair. In addition, through intelligent control, the life of street light can be optimized. Can significantly improve your community's street lights performance, efficiency and reliability.

Through saving energy and reducing maintenance expenses, you can excess public funds allocated to other programs in your community to improve life quality in communities.

Effective use of energy-saving programs, bringing low-cost sustainable development of intelligent lighting.
