Solar cell and Public lighting
There are lots of benefit using solar cell as sources for public facilities, one of the examples is for public street lighting. Unlike ordinary lighting that requires electric power sources, in terms of long distance or isolated location, these solar cell lighting could be applied in there, and it could save costs for installment and materials, for example cables.
With solar cell power, it is also more efficient, because doesn’t need any fuel, so it requires almost no operating costs, cause the nature have giving it for free.
The installment could be applied in two ways, which are centralization can be applied (set in an area and the generated electricity distributed through a distribution network into places where it is needed) and decentralization (each stand-alone system / individual, does not require a distribution network).
And of course the impact for environment is zero pollution. Air pollution is a major problem in many cities, the biggest cause of urban air pollution is from burning of petroleum, including fuel used for transportation. With these solar cell technology at least it could reduce the amount of pollution.
Below are the advantages using solar cell power for public lighting:
- More Bright and durable
- Save energy without the cost of electricity
- Environmentally friendly with no pollution
- Quick and easy installation
- Maintenance Free
- The LED could hold for 3 years.
