In ordinary lighting systems, we need to invest in lighting fixtures, pipeline laying, control cabinets, and electrical light sources (i.e. lighting lamps). Users need to pay electricity bills during use, and the power supply department needs to pay maintenance fees for daily maintenance and repair of the equipment. In the solar lighting system, we only need to invest in solar devices (including storage batteries) and solar energy-saving lamps. Because the solar lighting system is a one-time investment, users do not need to pay electricity and maintenance fees during use.

The economy of using solar power generation is superior to conventional power supply methods in many cases. The solar lighting system has low operating costs and does not require the addition of fuel or other energy sources (such as water sources or nuclear materials); The solar lighting system equipment can operate automatically and is suitable for use in unmanned stations; The solar lighting system has few equipment and can operate continuously without frequent maintenance, with a service life of over ten years (depending on the configuration and model, it can last for about 10 days in rainy weather. The solar cell can be used for 15-20 years); The solar lighting power supply system adopts a DC output low voltage method, which is very stable, safe and reliable (the charging and discharging processes of the solar lighting system are carried out under low voltage 12V and 24V conditions, and there is no harm to the human body); The solar lighting system does not need to build roads to connect to the power grid. In places without a power grid, solar energy provides the possibility of flexibly selecting station locations. Construction is fast and convenient, and each solar lighting system is an independent lighting unit. Charging, discharging, and control are all completed independently, without the need for trenching, wiring, backfilling, instant installation, and application.

In addition to direct economic benefits, solar lighting systems also have many indirect advantages. In other power supply systems, sudden power outages or damage to power supply equipment often result in huge economic losses immediately (as exemplified by the rain, snow, and freezing disaster that occurred in southern China in February 2008). The solar lighting system is either locally independent or individually independent, so the solar system will not cause significant economic losses due to local power outages, thus ensuring stable operation. It is also particularly suitable for scattered locations and mountainous areas, rural residents, and units far from distribution substations.

Using sunlight as energy, clean and environmentally friendly without any pollution to the environment, in line with the current direction of social development, fully reflecting the concept of green lighting, giving people a wholehearted visual experience. Solar lighting is the development direction of future outdoor lighting and a rising star in lighting fixtures, and is an ideal green lighting fixture. It incorporates the concept of new energy and new technologies.
