Solar energy is becoming more popular as it is a clean and renewable source of energy. This reduces electricity bills and carbon footprint, making it the best choice for homes around the world. Still, solar panels are not only important in cities or places with street lamps on every corner. In many villages and remote areas where lack of electricity is a common problem, solar energy emerges as a ray of hope. Such areas usually get plenty of sunlight but do not have access to a reliable power supply; therefore, installing a domestic solar lighting system would be highly beneficial.

Using such an easily available tool can help homes in these areas gain independence on electricity thereby keeping even the farthest corners illuminated and connected.

Why Are Domestic Solar Lighting System Essential for Rural Areas?

In rural areas, electricity is often absent or unstable. Each household can solve this problem by using solar-powered lights. These programs use the sun’s energy and convert it into electrical power that illuminates homes, schools, and other public facilities thereby promoting community development. Here are the reasons why individuals should have home solar lighting in a rural environment:

• Improved quality of life: Reliable nighttime lighting extends daytime activities for families into the evening hours. The provision of extra time for children to study after dark can enhance their education and boost productivity.
• Environmental benefits: In rural areas, people commonly use kerosene lamps or other fossil fuels for lighting. However they are not only expensive but also dangerous as they can cause health problems and harm the environment. By getting rid of such fuels, solar lighting helps reduce carbon emissions and also cleans the air.
• Empowering women and children: When homes are safer because of good lighting systems installed around them, public spaces also become safer, especially late at night when women or children are moving from one place to another because they are working late night shifts or attending evening classes away from home, which requires them to walk through poorly lit paths at night. This also creates educational opportunities, as children can read books even after sunset if there is adequate lighting outside their homes, such as from solar devices like lanterns near schools.
• Enabling enterprise development at the local level: Solar energy systems that provide reliable sources of light can enable neighborhood businesses to stay open longer, increasing their chances of serving more customers. This move can spur economic development as well as raise the standard of living in remote areas.
• Promote Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): Solar lighting contributes to the achievement of sustainable development goals in rural areas by reducing dependence on non-renewable energy sources and promoting the use of clean renewable alternatives. It supports international efforts against climate change and encourages the adoption of green technologies.

How Does a Domestic Solar Lighting System Work in Rural Areas?

• You can place solar panel systems on the roofs of homes or in open areas to ensure they receive the maximum possible sunlight. Photovoltaic (PV) cells in the panels convert sunlight into electricity. The PV cells capture sunlight during the day and create direct current (DC) electricity – which is sufficient for all household lighting needs.
• When night falls, the solar panels charge rechargeable batteries that store the DC electricity so that it can power the lighting system throughout the night. This is important mainly in rural areas where people need light at night for their daily tasks and for security purposes.
• To use AC appliances such as lighting fixtures, we need to convert the stored DC electricity into AC (alternating current) using an inverter. During DC to AC conversion, the process transforms direct current into alternating current. Most rural solar lighting systems use DC-powered lights directly because otherwise it would waste a lot of energy. LED lights turn off at dusk until dawn, when they resume using the stored energy – thus providing reliable lighting throughout the night.
• Solar panels do not require much maintenance and are long-lasting, making them ideal for use in rural areas; components such as solar panels or LED bulbs typically last for several years, making them a cost-effective solution for rural homes. They only require regular cleaning to work effectively.
• Solar lighting systems can be customized for remote areas, promoting energy independence, self-sufficiency, and resilience against grid failures.

Other features of the domestic solar lighting system:

• Easy to use
• Small and good looking
• It can last up to three days in rainy weather
• Takes five hours to charge on a bright day
• For up to four hours a day, you can use it.
• Easily replaceable electronics sub-assembly in case of fault
