Solar street lights for our community is the future. The British government has given it as a policy statement that all household should switch to solar and a deadline for this has been given.
Nigeria looks like a nation without a clear cut energy plan for its people. As the cost of living is increasing so is the price of renewable energy is going down compared to the price many years ago.
The technology has also improved. The solar street light is not as big as before and it even comes with sensors to detect a change in light output and waterproof covering.
10 REASONS FOR INSTALLING SOLAR STREET LIGHTS ARE AS FOLLOWS:
1. It is cheaper now to install for streets with 5-10 electric poles.
2. It comes in sleeker models and it does not take much space
3. The batteries last longer and are more powerful than before to supply light for at least 10 hours in the nights.
4. It's easier to install
5. It comes with waterproof casings that give it longer battery life.
6. Corporate bodies and landlords can even afford it for their buildings because it is in two modes with pole and without poles
7. The solar street light has different voltage and watt capacities, so you can choose.
8. It comes with a warranty of not less than three months
9. Bulk purchases can attract free installations.
10. It reduces security threats and enhances free movement and commercial activity in the night.
With the above benefits, you can consider it. Facts about the outdoor electrification in Nigeria is that in every one hundred streets that you pick really will you have three streets with functional street lights. That means ninety-seven streets are in dark ess every night.
This can be changed considerably by the self-help of people coming together to electrify their streets.
