Solar panels: There are different types of solar panels, and they have their own features. Monocrystalline silicon solar panels have the highest conversion rate but are the most expensive. Polycrystalline silicon solar panels are cheaper, but the conversion rate is lower. Thin film solar cells have a light weight, and their production is simple, but their conversion rate is not as high as the silicon ones.
Battery: The common types of batteries include lead-acid batteries, colloidal batteries, lithium batteries, etc. Lithium iron phosphate batteries can be a good choice, as they have a long service life and high charging efficiency.
LED lights: For the LED lights used outside, you need to choose those with an IP 65 rating to ensure they can resist water. Also, their heat dissipation performance should be up to standard.
