Have you ever thought about how many bulbs are turned on in public places during the night? Parks, streets, industrial compounds, IT parks, shopping malls need lights throughout the night. The energy consumed and electricity bills are huge. Moreover, continuous usage of non-renewable resources like fossil fuels harms the environment. However, as technology advances, researchers find more sustainable and permanent solutions. Solar energy evolved as one such solution and the world embraced it. Due to the benefits such as efficiency and cost- effectiveness it is used for residential, commercial and industrial purposes.
Solar lights for outdoor are best suitable for streets, parking lots, parks and even signages because being outdoor lights they can absorb as much solar energy for themselves.Solar outdoor lights are also weatherproof, bright and has low insect attraction rate.Savings of 30% on the electricity bills would be a blessing for small scale industries and small businesses.
Solar street lights consist of PV panels, an in-built battery, LED light and sensors. Solar energy that falls on the panels is stored in a rechargeable battery. The light is turned on automatically by an in-built smart sensor and controller that can sense darkness.
