Solar Lighting is newly developed lighting method resulted by the development of Solar Technology. Several Technology makes it possible to use solar lighting in Large Scale.
Components[edit | edit source]
1. High energy-efficient solar panels[edit | edit source]
High energy-efficient solar panels can generate enough electricity with much smaller panel, so that the panel can be mount on the top a medium lighting pole to get the best energy conversion.
2. Deep-cycle gel or Lead-Acid Battery[edit | edit source]
Deep-cycle gel or Lead-Acid Battery which will store more electricity for 3-5 days poor weather backup so that solar lighting will light up most of the nights all over the year.
3. LED light Fixtures[edit | edit source]
LED light Fixtures which will produce much more lighting with lower energy consumption. LED light Fixture can save at least 50% of energy in comparison to HPS lights which is widely used in traditional out door lighting.
How it works[edit | edit source]
Solar lighting will experience 4 stages during working:
1. Charging[edit | edit source]
Throughout the day the solar panels will convert the solar energy from the sun into electricity which will charge the battery. The intelligent solar controller charges the battery throughout the day and controls the current to ensure that the battery is not overcharged.
2. Stop Charging[edit | edit source]
As the sun sets the photocell that is built into the panel will sense the voltage drop as the panels are no longer taking a charge. The battery has been charged throughout the day and is now ready to discharge and provide electricity for the lamp and turn it on. If there is inclement weather, there are usually 3-4 days backup for most solar lighting system.

Type of Solar Lighting[edit | edit source]
There are several type of solar lighting for different applications.
Solar Street Light[edit | edit source]

This type of solar lighting has fairly strong lighting, long backup period to make sure citizen can enjoy lighting during the night. It has largest market, but the reliability is not as high as traditional street lights. These lights are especially popular in rural area.

There are also several other type of solar lighting like solar traffic sign, solar bus station lighting, solar marine lighting.
