According to Visual CapitalistVietnam is one of the 20 developing countries with the highest lighting electricity consumption. With the current strong increase in demand for light, solar lights are an effective solution to help reduce pressure on power sources and create sustainable value for society. Let's explore with NLT Group the top 5 benefits of this green energy lighting system through the article below!
What are solar lights?
Solar lights aredevices that use solar panels to absorb and convert sunlight energy into electrical energy. This allows the lamp to operate without using mains power, widely used for lighting in areas without mains electricity or areas prone to power outages.
Solar lights are applied in different environments such as street lighting, gardens, decorative lights, billboards... This will be a new trend in the future, using renewable energy - an energy source. clean and sustainable quality.
Structure of solar lights
LED lights the main light source of solar lights. LED lights consume little energy and have a long lifespan, making them a good choice for lighting.
Solar panel: contains solar panels made from photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight into electricity. This battery panel is capable of collecting energy from the sun and turning it into electricity to charge the battery.
Battery: a place to store electrical energy from a solar panel. This battery is usually lithium-ion or other types of batteries with good energy storage and long life.
MPPT controller an important part to control the charging and discharging process of the battery. It ensures that the battery does not become overcharged or overdischarged, helping to prolong the life of the battery. In addition, an extremely important function is to monitor and control the lighting system, transmitting data to the remote center.
Light sensor and motion sensor: Equipped with a light sensor to automatically turn the light on and off when the environmental light changes. Motion sensors help the lights automatically turn on when people or objects move within the sensor range.
Protective cover and frame: Solar lights often have plastic or metal protective covers to protect the internal components from weather and environmental impacts.

How do solar lights work?
The operation of solar lights is based on converting energy from light into electricity. Solar panels will receive sunlight and through the photovoltaic process, the light will be converted into electricity. This electricity is then stored in charged batteries to power the LED lights throughout the night.
When the outside environment is dark or there is no sunlight, the controller will automatically activate the LED light to light up. This is an economical and environmentally friendly method to use lights in areas without mains electricity.
Furthermore, solar lights are equipped with light sensors to automatically turn on and off according to the light level of the surrounding environment. When the light decreases, the light will automatically turn on and work until there is enough sunlight to recharge the battery. This helps ensure that the light won't use unnecessary power, increasing the life of the battery and reducing its impact on the environment.
5 advantages of solar lights
Below are the top 5 main advantages of solar lights
- Optimize energy and costs: Solar lights use renewable energy from sunlight, without needing to use grid electricity. This helps reduce electricity bills each month and saves money in the long run.
- Easy to install: Solar lights do not require pulling wires or needing a nearby power source. This makes installation simpler and more convenient, especially in hard-to-reach locations.
- Automatic operation: Solar lights are often equipped with light sensors and motion sensors, allowing them to automatically turn on when it's dark or someone passes by. This helps optimize energy use and ensure lighting is available when needed.
- Environmental protection: Using solar energy helps reduce greenhouse gases and polluting emissions compared to using energy from fossil sources. This contributes to protecting the environment and minimizing negative impacts on climate change.
- Ability to operate in remote locations: Solar lights can be used in remote locations or where traditional power sources are not available. This has special significance in street lighting, billboards, rural areas and remote areas.
- Easy maintenance: Solar lights typically do not require routine maintenance like traditional lights, as most electronic components and batteries have a fairly long lifespan.
- Smart technology integration: Solar lights from NLT Group will be integrated with IoT and AI technology allowing remote control, scheduling operations, and integration with other smart devices.
