The future of solar LED street lighting

In developing countries and regions, the solar LED street lighting is increasingly replacing candles, firewood, kerosene and other fuel use traditional lighting, which bring huge economic and environmental benefit. Moreover, the US researchers found that this trend can also stimulate local economic development, it is expected worldwide will create about two million jobs.

Original lighting sources, including the sale of candles, wicks, kerosene and other supplies including, fossil fuel-based lighting industry worldwide support about 150,000 jobs. And every 10000 Unable to get people to use the power grid solar LED lights, solar LED lighting local industry need to create 38 jobs. Even so, because of the current solar LED lighting to increase jobs and employment opportunities provided by fossil fuel lighting considerably. And to fully meet the demand of solar LED lighting 112 million households, also we need to add about 2 million jobs, far more than fuel-based lighting market may lose jobs.

Solar energy to low-voltage DC power supply, it is safe and reliable, no noise, no pollution, energy widely available without geographical restrictions, no consumption of fuel, no mechanical moving parts, low failure rate, easy maintenance and so on. Use, each lamp solar lights are quite independent and have the power that can be placed anywhere, without power design, no electricity capacity, without manual power control, without trenching pipe, without laying cable wire, easy installation, in case of road improvement, more convenient position.

Development of solar LED lights bring new jobs will greatly enhance the quality. In the fuel supply for lighting, a full black market, cross-border smuggling and kerosene use of child labor, etc. These job insecurity, as well as the toxicity of the fuel itself. In contrast, the employment of solar LED lighting industry to create legal, clean, stable and fixed.

Solar LED lighting is also possible by generating indirect employment, energy savings to spend money to improve the working environment, improve the cultural level of employment, creating more jobs and employment income.
