As an extension of the previous work on Solar System tests of an effective loop quantum black hole, and an attempt to find more stringent constraints on the loop quantum effect, we study its effects on physical experiments and astronomical observations conducted in the Solar System. By considering light deflection, time delay, and Cassini tracking experiments at the second post-Newtonian (2PN) order for light propagation, we find that the parametrized post-Newtonian (PPN) parameter (gamma ) in the black hole strictly equals 1. Using supplementary advances for Mercury taken from the EPM2011 and INPOP10a ephemerides, we derive much improved bounds on the black hole, which strengthen constraints on the loop quantum effect by ten times. Since such quantum effects are more likely to be observable in strong-field regimes, we estimate a preliminary bound on the loop quantum effect in these regimes based on results from EHT observations, discuss future prospects of other tests (e.g., extreme mass-ratio inspiral systems), and compare these strong-field constraints with those from the Solar System. It is worth noting that primordial black holes might provide a promising way to identify the loop quantum effect. Solar system experiments are probably not applicable for probing the quantum effect signal.
