The commonly used devices include Solar lantern & solar street lighting system. The main components of solar lantern are solar PV Module, a small rechargeable battery, electronic control circuit board and a lamp (CFL/LED). The whole components are placed in a suitable housing made of metal/plastic/ fibre glass.
A solar street light has a lower cost than a traditional street light. This makes it a more viable option for countries like Pakistan, where electricity supply may not always meet demand due to factors like cost, accessibility, literacy rate, and technology. Solar street lights play a crucial role in leading and meeting the energy needs of communities.
The main function of a solar street light is to store energy in primary batteries or single cell batteries. This has contributed to the reduction of operational costs in automated systems by making the batteries the main component, as they do not get irreversibly discharged.
