Can Solar Lighting replace the Outdoor Lighting at home?
21 Jan 2020
Solar Lighting has gained prominence in the recent years. What it used to be a costly and expensive and over the roof budget affair, is now much affordable, thanks to the revolution in the Battery, Quick Charging, Efficient Solar Panels, High Lumen LEDs and not to forget the Sensor Technologies(smart solar).
Yes solar has stepped out of the once know for the water heating and cooling systems on the roof tops to a large player in the Outdoor Lighting at homes and offices. Solar Lighting today have come out with integrated solutions which have the Solar Panel, LED Light and Battery Storage in a one single piece. This had helped them to improve the overall aesthetic looks of the Luminaire as well as overcome the design challenges. Since the Solar Panel is integrated within the luminaire, the once reported issue on solar panel theft is minimal.
The Outdoor Solar Lighting solutions are available for Boundary Walls, Roof Tops, Gardens and Lawns, Pathways, Step and Stairs, Roadways and the list keeps growing. The efficiency of the Solar Lighting is also improved by integrating a motion sensor to the luminaire, which allows it to use the 8 hours of charge from the Sun to be utilized for 4 to 5 nights of lighting. This really helps during a cloudy and rainy days, where sunlight is not available in abundance to get a full charge of the battery.
To conclude, the economies of scale are largely improved in Solar Lighting and would further improve in the months and years to come, which will accelerate the adoption of Solar Lighting for homes and offices, across the globe.
