Solar street light is a segment of the photovoltaic industry. It can directly use solar power to generate electricity, save energy, and eliminate the need for complicated and expensive long-distance transmission cables. It also has many advantages such as automatic operation and voltage safety, which is also the reason why it is widely and quickly used to replace traditional street lamps in the past few years.
However, solar street light industry is suffering from quality pain. “Some solar street lamp can’t work normally even for 1 year”, “A town has installed thousands of street lamps, and the failure rate of lamps has reached 21% after half a year”, “Solar lighting projects in some areas have been replaced with ordinary electric lighting for solar lights’ bad performance”. There are many solar streetlight projects that are forced to repair each year, causing a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial waste. How could this happen?
Well, the biggest feature of many solar street lamp manufacturers is that the production process is very messy. Their street light products are mostly based on patchwork, rather than independent research and development. In the production process, these companies often cut corners and make shoddy goods, so that they can bid at low prices. Not to say some lighting companies do not have factories.
As we all know, solar street lamps rely mainly on solar energy to generate electricity, which can save a lot of electricity fee. Many projects are indeed implemented with the hope of recovering costs, which is relying on the electricity saved by later use. If there is no warranty, it means that huge investment in projects cannot be recovered.
"Solar lighting is a sunrise industry which is not yet fully developed, but already full of unspoken rules." According to reports, in this industry, lots of lighting products are selected from small companies, which have no professional engineers, technical capabilities or strong management system. They don’t have the ability to reach quality standards, although some of them said they have.
On the other hand, lots of solar street lights companies don’t have or don’t care about after-sales service. They can’t give you a guarantee on products quality, and there is no enough manpower and financial resources to support them provide after-sales service. As a result, more and more "orphans" of solar street lamps on the market bring bad reputation on solar lighting industry, seriously jeopardizing the interests of users, and causing extreme road safety for the local residents
In the opinion of industry experts, solar street lamp market is full of low-quality and low-price products. Customers should not make the only choice based on price before purchasing outdoor solar lights. It is necessary to learn about the products and their technology in order to avoid being deceived!
Facing the chaos of the solar street lamp market, Road Smart, as an R&D and manufacturing enterprise of intelligent solar street lamps, has always been pursuing high quality as the core concept of the company, providing customers with excellent quality products and actively responsible after-sales service. Meanwhile, Road Smart called on major manufacturers resolutely resist low quality engineering, protect lighting industry with a high sense of social responsibility and mission.
