The hot spot effect of solar panel 
       
Integrated solar street light, including solar panels and batteries, controllers and LED lights, which are important components.It is easy to install so is preferred by customers. However, during the installation process, if you do not pay attention to the hot spot effect of the solar panel, it will have a serious impact on the lamp.

What is the hot spot effect?

Solar panels are usually installed in an open, sunny area. In the long-term use, it is inevitable to fall on the obstructions such as birds, dust, leaves, etc. These obstructions form a shadow on the solar cell module, and the spacing between the large solar cell modules is not suitable and can form a shadow with each other. The solar street lamp Too long at the top of the pole will also block the sun from forming a shadow. Due to the presence of local shadows, the current and voltage of some of the battery cells in the solar cell module change. As a result, the product of the local current and voltage of the solar cell module is increased, thereby causing a local temperature rise on these battery components. Defects in some of the battery cells in the solar cell module may also cause the components to locally heat during operation. This phenomenon is called “hot spot effect”.
