Solar Street Light

With the growth of LEDs and the mass production of solar panels, solar street lighting has become a cost-effective alternative to grid-connected lights. Now, new technology integrated into off-grid lighting systems can deliver the highest level of reliability and long life for these critical systems.

Solar street lights are raised light sources which are powered by photo voltaic panels generally mounted on the lighting structure or integrated in the pole itself. The photo-voltaic panels charge a rechargeable battery, which powers a fluorescent or LED lamp during the night.

Recent technological innovations have paved the way to the rebirth of street lights through solar powered ones.

Most of the solar panels automatically sense outdoor light through a light source. These can give off light on successive nights even when the sun's energy is not available for a couple of days. Many users are switching to solar street lights nowadays due to a number of reasons.

Solar street lights are independent of the utility grid resulting to lessened operation costs. These means that these are wireless lights and are not connected to your electricity provider. The lights are dependent of the heat energy given off by the sun, storing as much of it throughout the day. Solar street lights require lesser maintenance than conventional street lights. These have lower chances of overheating. Since solar wires do not have external wires, the risk of accidents is minimized. A lot of times, accidents happen to the personnel who fixes the street light. These can include strangulation or electrocution. Solar street lights are environment-friendly because its panels are solely dependent to the sun hence eliminating your carbon footprints contribution. Some parts of solar street lighting systems can be easily carried to remote areas making these more efficient and handy solutions to lighting problems.

The solar LED street lights system convert sun energy to electricity and the system is prompted to turn on as the darkness approaches. Therefore, these lights automatically switch on after the sunset and after sunrise it switches off.

Solar Street Lighting Systems

Increasingly, solar power is being used for street lighting around the world. The long term power saving, conservation of precious natural resources and elimination of the need for generating additional power are leading to the fast adoption of solar street lighting systems around the world. In a tropical country like India, solar street lighting makes all the more practical sense, given the abundance of solar energy round the year. Verdia technologies is empowering the adoption of solar street lighting systems across the country with the latest solar lighting technologies.
