Abstract

A solar photo-voltaic panel light structure includes a sectioned pole including a lamp formed on a upper end thereof and a foot formed on a lower end thereof to facilitate erecting the pole in the ground, a solar photo-voltaic panel battery adjustably connected to the pole and a control box electrically connected to the solar photo-voltaic panel battery so that the solar photo-voltaic panel battery is able to provide electricity.

Claims

1. A solar photo-voltaic panel light structure comprising:

a sectioned pole comprising a lamp formed on a upper end thereof and a foot formed on a lower end thereof to facilitate erection of the pole in the ground;

a solar photo-voltaic panel battery adjustably connected to the pole; and

a control box electrically connected to the solar photo-voltaic panel battery so that the solar photo-voltaic panel battery is able to provide electricity to the lamp.

2. The solar photo-voltaic panel light structure as claimed in claim 1 comprising a securing device for adjustably connecting the solar photo-voltaic panel battery to the pole, wherein the securing device includes a fixing plate firmly connected to a side of the solar photo-voltaic panel battery, a pivotal plate pivotally connected to the fixing plate and a locking screw for interconnecting two halves of a ring put around the pole.

3. The solar photo-voltaic panel light structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein the foot is formed as a shovel.

4. The solar photo-voltaic panel light structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein the foot is formed as a spike.

5. The solar photo-voltaic panel light structure as claimed in claim 3, wherein the pole is composed of multiple sections, wherein except a lower-most section and an upper-most section, each of the sections is provided with a threaded hole defined in a lower end of the section and a threaded tip formed on a upper end of the section corresponding to one of the threaded holes such that the threaded tip can be driven into the corresponding threaded hole to secure two adjacent sections of the pole.

6. The solar photo-voltaic panel light structure as claimed in claim 4, wherein the pole is composed of multiple sections and except a lower-most section and an upper-most section, each of remaining sections is provided with a threaded hole defined in a lower end of the section and a threaded tip formed on a upper end of the section corresponding to one of the threaded holes such that the threaded tip is able to be extended into the corresponding threaded hole to interconnect two adjacent sections of the pole.

7. The solar photo-voltaic panel light structure as claimed in claim 3, wherein the pole is composed of multiple sections and except a lower-most section and an upper-top most section, each of remaining sections is provided with through holes respectively defined in a lower end and a upper end of the section, a connector provided between the lower end and the upper end of two adjacent sections of the pole and comprising connection holes defined corresponding to the through holes of the two adjacent sections and screws extending into the through holes and the connection holes when the connection holes are aligned with the through holes in the lower end and the upper end of two adjacent sections of the pole such that each section of the pole is able to combine with another via the connector.

8. The solar photo-voltaic panel light structure as claimed in claim 4, wherein the pole is composed of multiple sections, wherein except the lower most section and the top most section of the pole, each of the sections is provided with through holes respectively defined in a lower end and a upper end of the section, a connector provided between the lower end and the upper end of two adjacent sections of the pole and comprising connection holes defined corresponding to the through holes of the two adjacent sections and screws extending into the through holes and the connection holes when the connection holes are aligned with the through holes in the lower end and the upper end of two adjacent sections of the pole such that each section of the pole is able to combine one another via the connector.

9. A solar photo-voltaic panel light structure comprising:

a sectioned pole comprising a lamp formed on a upper end thereof and a foot formed on a lower end thereof to facilitate erecting the pole in the ground;

a solar photo-voltaic panel battery placed on the ground; and

a control box electrically connected to the solar photo-voltaic panel battery so that the solar photo-voltaic panel battery is able to provide electricity to the lamp.

10. The solar photo-voltaic panel light structure as claimed in claim 9, wherein the solar photo-voltaic panel battery includes a frame pivotally connected to a side of the solar photo-voltaic panel battery so that the solar battery is able to be supported by the frame and placed on the ground.

11. The solar photo-voltaic panel light structure as claimed in claim 10, wherein the foot is shaped as a shovel.

12. The solar photo-voltaic panel light structure as claimed in claim 10, wherein the foot is formed as a spike.

13. The solar photo-voltaic panel light structure as claimed in claim 11, wherein the pole is composed of multiple sections and except a lower-most section and an upper-most section, each of remaining sections is provided with a threaded hole defined in a lower end of the section and a threaded tip formed on a upper end of the section corresponding to one of the threaded holes such that the threaded tip is able to be extended into the corresponding threaded hole to secure two adjacent sections of the pole.
