Solar street lighting based on photovoltaic (PV) electricity and reliable batteries and used at night to power highly efficient light emitting diode (LED) light sources.
To read the full-text of this research, you can request a copy directly from the authors. Today's solar street LED lights are able to provide reliable, quality lighting both in developing and developed countries, thereby reducing light poverty and the economic and environmental costs of electric outdoor lighting.
Rapid technical innovation and dramatic price reduction in the LED , PV module, and battery components, which has occurred in the last 5 years, will accelerate the penetration of solar street LED lights across the world. Applications will not be limited to countries with significant insolation only but will extend to Northern regions as well.
In terms of sustainability, the environmental impact of street lighting due to energy consumption has been substantially reduced in recent years, through the development of LED luminaires, solar power and adaptive control .
Utilization of street lighting using power from solar energy is an alternative form that is cheap and economical to use as a source of lighting electricity , - . Given the potential for solar energy which is always available throughout the year in East Nusa Tenggara. ... ...
Solar streetlights can provide affordable lighting in remote locations where a grid connection is not feasible . Lighting is particularly important in informal settlements to improve safety, security and mobility and solar streetlights can offer environmental benefits in comparison to grid-connected lights . ... ...
