Smart solar powered street lighting have bright prospects

  As night falls, on both sides of the Ningbo Institute of Technology students" restaurants are all smart solar powered street lighting.The project leader of research and development,Professor Wang proudly said that the scale of solar panel outdoor lights was the first time in Ningbo. They were officially installed and commissioned on the 6th of this month.

  The secret of a solar panel outdoor lights have solar receiver plate at the top, a built-in battery, and a chip that automatically controls the light. Professor Wang used a book to cover the solar receiver board of the solar street light with sensor. Soon the LED lamp will light up. "Sunlight shines for one day, the solar light can be illuminated for more than 7 days, and the energy efficiency is very high." According to the reporter, this solar energy LED lamp was developed by several colleges and universities in the United Nations under the academy of the School of Telecommunications of the School of Engineering. With the help of the college, the teachers also set up a new energy company to achieve a one-stop production, learning and research. Yang Chaoyi, a senior in the college, is already a company employee and has become a technical expert. Professor Wang said that last year, their solar lighting system reported seven national patents, two of which have been approved, and two other preliminary examinations have been passed.

  The smart solar powered street lighting is very "powerful", and the 30-watt LED lamp is equivalent to a 100-watt ordinary street light. Because it does not use electricity, it is a "master" of energy saving and emission reduction. Professor Wang said that 100 sets of ordinary 300W municipal road lighting street lamps use 10 hours of lighting per day, and consume 10 million kilowatts or more in 10 years, which is converted into carbon dioxide emissions, which is 1078 tons. With solar lights, it is all over the province. According to Professor Wang’s calculation, the 340sets solar light in Zhenhai’s new campus has 70 tons of carbon dioxide emissions saved a year. Although the initial investment, solar lamps cost a little more than ordinary street lamps, but if used in 10 years, the total cost can be saved by 30% to 50%, and energy pollution can be reduced.
