From Dusk Till Dawn: Solar Controllers with Lunar Mode for 24/7 Street Lighting
In regions prone to long winter nights or frequent overcast skies, conventional dusk-to-dawn solar street lights can leave gaps in coverage when batteries run low before sunrise. Lunar mode—a dimmed “moonlight” phase—extends autonomy by shifting from full brightness to a low-power output during the late-night hours. This feature lets systems maintain basic illumination all night […]
Desert-Proof Your System: How Military-Grade Solar Controllers Withstand 60°C Heat
Desert environments routinely challenge electronics with ambient temperatures soaring above 50 °C and solar module surfaces exceeding 70 °C. To ensure your off-grid or hybrid solar system keeps running in this heat, you need military-grade robustness in both controller and inverter. Below, we explore how cutting-edge thermal-management techniques, component choices, and deployment best practices come […]
