Solar Street Lights with Motion Sensor

Integrated solar street lights are also called All-In-One Solar Street Lights

With a steady cost decline of solar panels, solar-powered street lights are widely used now, which have the advantages of lower energy consumption, longer life span, and environmental benefits.

Solar street light is taking the world by storm. Currently, most of the manufacturers in the world are based in China.

What is a solar street light motion sensor?

The sensor device which detects object motion is known as a motion sensor. There are two types of motion sensors viz. active and passive.

  • Active motion sensor transmits radio frequency towards the person/object and analyzes received frequency to determine the motion. An example of an active motion sensor is a microwave motion sensor.
  • A passive motion sensor senses heat and light to determine the change in motion.

Microwave Motion Sensor

An example is the PIR sensor which receives a change in thermal energy to determine the motion of an object or person. PIR stands for Passive Infrared Sensor. PIR measures infrared light radiating from objects in its FOV (Field of View). By default, it generates energy based on observed heat surrounding it. When a human or anybody comes nearby, it receives more thermal energy compared to normal conditions. This way it determines the presence or absence of the object or person.

Advantages of motion sensor

Following are the advantages of motion sensors of active and passive types:

  • ➨It can be used in a very harsh environment having irregular heat cycles (Active Motion Sensor).
  • ➨It has more lifespan which is about 100000 Hrs (Active type).
  • ➨It detects motion in light and dark conditions reliably indoors. (Passive motion sensor)
  • ➨It helps in providing security by detecting suspicious movement.
  • ➨It is easy to install motion sensors.

The difference between PIR sensor and Microwave sensor in solar street lights

Microwave sensor sensing distance is 8~10m and is sensed by the wavelength of a moving object. PIR sensor sensing distance is only 6~8m, is sensed by infrared ray, so is affected by the temperature. If in summer, the environment temperature is the same as the body, the induction is slow or even no induction.

In a word, the Microwave sensor sensing distance is wider, faster, and further though the cost is more expensive than the PIR sensor.
