Outdoor lighting is more of a necessity than a luxury today. This is because it enhances security in a 24-hour economy. However, the monthly bill incurred by local authorities due to outdoor lighting is usually quite significant. In fact, some local authorities may not be willing to install more street lights in their jurisdiction for fear of high energy bills. A great alternative to traditional street lights is solar-powered lights.
About Solar Street Lights
As the name suggest, this is a street light that is powered by the sun’s energy. A solar panel mounted on top of the lighting pole converts sunlight to electricity during the day and stores it in a battery, which can either be mounted on the ground or near the top of the pole. At night, the LED lights draw their power from the battery, which can power the lights until the sun rises in the morning. This eliminates energy bills and ensures that streets are always lit even during a power outage.
