LED lights are used due to their high luminous efficiency and long life. This section also includes additional parts such as light controller, time controller, sound, temperature compensation, lighting protection, reverse polarity protection and AC transfer switches which ensure sensitive back-up loads work normally when outage occurs.
It ensures, under any circumstances including extreme weather conditions with large temperature difference, the battery does not overcharge or over discharge and damage the battery even further. This section controls the entire working systems to protect battery charge. Only 23% is absorbed, which means a battery is a crucial part of solar lamp. 33% is heat lost to surroundings, and further losses are of approximately 15-20%. Around 24% of solar radiation of a long wavelength is not absorbed. In general, the efficiency of photovoltaic energy conversion is limited for physical reasons. This part of the lamp saves up energy from the solar panel and provides power when needed at night when there is no light energy available. It may also use lead-acid, nickel metal hydride, nickel cadmium, or lithium. īatteries inside solar lamps usually use gel electrolyte technology with high performance in deep discharging, in order to enable use in extreme ranges of temperature. Lastly, the collector conducts a charge from the battery to outside. A separator also exists between cathode and anode which stops the electrodes reacting together at the same time as allowing electrical charge to flow freely between the two.
Inside the case are electrodes including cathodes and anodes where chemical reactions occur. Ī battery is usually housed within a metal or plastic case. The encapsulate keeps out moisture and contaminants which could cause problems. Solar panels are made out of layers of different materials, as you can see in Figure 2, in order of glass, encapsulate, crystalline cells, encapsulate, back sheet, junction box and lastly frame. Photovoltaic systems directly convert sunlight into electricity. This process is called photovoltaic and photoelectric effect. More light shines through, more electrons move around hence more current flows between. This promotion of an electron allows freer movement within the crystal which produces a current. It promotes one electron from a covalent bond to a next energy level from upper layer to the lower layer. When the stream of light particles called photons enter, they give up their energy to the atoms in the silicon. A potential barrier is created between these two layers.
In addition, the upper layer has more electrons and has slightly negative charge. The lower layer has less electrons and hence has a slight positive charge due to the negative charge nature of electrons. A solar cell has two different layers of silicon. Most solar panels are made out of single crystalline silicon, a semiconductor material. The costs of solar lamps have continued to fall in recent years as the components and lamps have been mass-produced in ever greater numbers.
Solar lamps for use in rural situations often have the capability of providing a supply of electricity for other devices, such as for charging cell phones. However, solar lamps generally have a higher initial cost, and are weather dependent. In addition, solar lamps produce no indoor air pollution unlike kerosene lamps. Solar lamps have a lower operating cost than kerosene lamps because renewable energy from the sun is free, unlike fuel. Solar-powered household lighting can replace other light sources like candles or kerosene lamps. The lamp operates on electricity from batteries, charged through the use of solar panel (solar photovoltaic panel) A solar lamp, also known as a solar light or solar lantern, is a lighting system composed of an LED lamp, solar panels, battery, charge controller and there may also be an inverter.
