Solar street lights, as an emerging product, have become increasingly well-known in recent years. With the development of the economy in various parts of the country, the vigorous promotion of municipal facilities, and the call for energy conservation and emission reduction, local governments are vigorously promoting the application of solar street lights.

Installing solar street lights can not only bring fresh elements and attraction to urban and rural construction, but also save installation costs. The most important thing is to save electricity resources and reduce electricity expenses. It should be noted that a street light with municipal electricity on a 1-kilometer road costs tens of thousands of yuan per month.

However, this emerging field is quietly experiencing pain, with more and more media reporting that the installed solar street lights do not light up after about a year, bringing great changes to the lives of the people. Why on earth is it that spending money to install solar street lights cannot achieve the desired effect? Can't solar street lights really work?

The marketing director of Zhuge Lighting briefly analyzed the following reasons:

As a new star industry, the solar street lamp industry lacks industry standards. The production process of solar street lamps is chaotic and the entry threshold for the industry is low. Many small enterprises directly purchase low-quality raw materials to assemble solar street lamps at low cost, and in this process, they also cut corners and make rough products, seriously affecting the performance and service life of the products. The lack of mandatory inspection standards has led many companies to seek profit and disregard product quality.

2. The market mechanism for solar street lamps is not perfect enough. As a public facility, street lamps are naturally invested and constructed by government departments, and the government implements solar street lamp installation through bidding. However, due to the fact that most solar street light installation units do not have mandatory requirements, but only have qualification requirements for bidding units. However, most of the actual solar street lamp installation units bid by borrowing the qualifications of solar street lamp manufacturers. Due to the discrepancy between the construction entity and the qualified unit, and the lack of corresponding evaluation system for the construction unit, there are significant loopholes for the construction unit to exploit. On the one hand, they strive to lower the prices of suppliers, and on the other hand, they also cut corners in construction. So quality cannot be talked about. Street light projects usually cost several million yuan, and installation companies can make a lot of money as long as they receive 70% of the payment. Therefore, if there are problems, they are lazy to solve them. Next time there is a project, a new company will be used and qualification authorization from the manufacturer will be sufficient. It is precisely because of this that the phenomenon of problems being ignored has emerged.

3. The bidding operation of solar street lamps is not transparent, fair, and open enough. The bidding for solar street lights, like other bidding methods, is more or less tricky, with hidden operations and money and power transactions. Therefore, the price and quality cannot effectively participate in market competition. Buying inferior products at high prices is also a common phenomenon.

The above is a brief analysis by Zhuge Lighting on the reasons why solar street lamps have various problems.
