Solar signal lights have the capability of getting power from sunlight, which makes them suited for the traffic lights in the places where power lines are not available but traffic condition need to be controlled.

Solar traffic lights have solar cells installed in their power supply systems and store the unused power in batteries as the backup power supply. These traffic lights usually include high-brightness LEDs of three individual colors - red, yellow and green. The LEDs are all under the control of MCUs which give switching instructions to LED drivers according to the preset programs; hence the traffic lights can work properly. With RS-485 port, these MCUs can also receive control signal from traffic signal control box or the signal sent by ZigBee modules in the control network. In addition, these MUCs are able to monitor the working state of solar cells and lead-acid batteries, and determine if abnormal conditions occur and adjustment is required.

Solar traffic lights utilize sunlight as their power source, eliminating the need for traditional power supply and thus reducing environment pollution. Employing these traffic lights in a large scale can effectively save power and contribute to the solution for power crisis concerning the world.
