Use of Solar Lighting Systems
Solar Lighting System are powered by solar energy using photovoltaic solar panels that convert solar energy (sunlight) directly to electricity. The electricity is stored in batteries and used for the purpose of lighting whenever required. These systems are useful in non-electrified rural areas and as reliable emergency lighting system for important domestic, commercial and industrial applications.
The system comprises of Solar PV Module, charge controller, battery and lighting system (lamps & fans). The solar module is installed on the top of lighting equipment exposed to sunlight and the charge controller and battery are kept inside a protected place in the closed box. The solar module requires periodic dusting for effective performance.
The above systems are designed to give a daily working time of 10-12 hours with a fully charged battery. The system must provide for buffer storage for 1-2 non-sunny /cloudy days.
