Why We Need Solar Traffic Signs

Solar energy--Clean our world

Solar energy is a smart, free way to power our lives. No matter the weather outside, you can use solar power to electrify your life and work. Fortunately, someone was bright enough (pardon the pun) to ask the question, If we can use solar power to energize our laptops and cell phones, even our homes, why not cut down on the energy costs associated with traffic management? In other words, what about solar panel traffic signs?

It have been turn out that solar panels can be installed on traffic signs to power flashing lights that alert drivers and pedestrians to conditions on the road whatever the weather. A China company,Taizhou luqiao stars plastic factory, produces solar traffic signs just as the picture that can work in cloudy regions, as well as sunny days.

While out for a weekend run recently, I discovered a solar traffic sign about 800 meters from my home, shown to the right. On the front of the sign is a cautionary blinking light, signaling a busy intersection ahead. On the reverse side, a solar panel absorbs sunlight energy which is converted into electrical power. Excess energy is stored in a battery located at the base of the sign. Among the benefits to government (and, ultimately taxpayers) are lower energy costs for maintaining the signs and the ability to avoid running power lines and/or trenching. Of particular note is the fact that , overall, there are lower maintenance costs for solar traffic sign than ordinary traffic signals.

Solar power technology has spread to allow use of solar power to energize street lights,warning lightand brighten road studs. Importantly, these solar traffi signwill continue to function in the event of a power failure, when the need for safety alerts will be the most crucial. With all these positive features, government agencies should be getting the green light to install more reliable, energy-efficient solar traffic signs and solar warning light.

I have to admit that, since I started to study and blog about solar power traffic safety products earlier this year, I now notice solar panels everywhere! Even in rainy Washington State, I still saw a number of solar panel traffic signs along I-5 during a recent visit. Look around your region. Do you see PV panel technology at work?

The advantage of Solar traffic signs:

1.It can work well in cloudy region

2.Don't need any Beam,which is forbidden in city

3.Save energy

4.Green concept,Environmental protection

5.Durable life
