Evaluation of different types of solar garden lamps

Abstract

Solar energy is the most important and cleanest energy source that can be used in almost every field. Almost 25% of produced electricity is being consumed for lighting in all over the world. Therefore, using alternative energy for lighting systems has become inevitable. Usage of alternative energy for lighting in the local parks, gardens and streets, long distance highways and roads have become widespread quickly. In addition to the money savings, solar-powered Led lighting offers substantial environmental and health benefits. Technological developments have allowed the use of LEDs technology in many general illumination applications, from houses to commercial or outdoor spaces. Different varieties of solar garden lamps were found to be manufactured in many countries like China, USA and Middle East but in India most of the solar garden lamps available in the market were imported from China. So, people used to buy through online and offline source. An attempt was made to analyse the features of different types of solar garden lamps available in the market. Secondary sources of data were used to analyse the features of the lamps.
