What are the benefits of using solar garden lamps?

Solar technology is one of the most popular and widely used technology today. With the advent of solar technology, many people are using solar garden lamps for their purpose. There are many benefits you can get from using solar garden lamps. In this article, we are going to talk about those pros and cons and many more.

Benefits of using solar garden lamps:

1. You can save your current bill.
2. Provides clean, renewable energy.
3. You do not need to turn on/off manually.
4. Ability to use even in the event of a power outage.
5. No need for electricity wires from the house.
6. Ability to use in places where electricity is difficult to obtain.
7. No energy production cost

1. You can save your current bill

This is one of the main benefits you will get. If you use ordinary garden lamps, you will incur significant costs for the current bill. It is used at night and stays lit for more than 12 hours. But if you use solar garden lamps, you can use the solar garden lamps you need without incurring any electricity bill.

2. Provides clean, renewable energy

Solar energy is a 100% pure renewable energy source. The use of solar energy also reduces the use of coal, oil, and natural gas required for power generation. This will reduce pollution. This is because these fossil fuels also affect the quality of fuel water, air, and soil and contribute to global warming.

There is no waste and no pollution when using solar power. The sun’s power is a source of unlimited energy and does not harm the ozone layer or anything else. Therefore the use of solar panels can be termed as an investment made on behalf of the Earth.

3. You do not need to turn on/off manually

Normally you should turn on/off your garden lamps manually. When you go on a picnic or an emergency trip, you can’t turn it on and off those days. But if you use this solar garden lamp, it works automatically, it lights up automatically at night and it goes off during the day. We do not need to do anything.

4. Ability to use even in the event of a power outage.

No matter what country you are living in, even though how developed your country is there can be power outage several times per year due to various causes. If you use ordinary garden lamps, you have to face various power failures as mentioned above. But if you use a solar garden lamp, you can use it without any problems even in the event of a power outage.

5. No need for electricity wires from the house

When you use ordinary garden lamps, you need electricity to light them. Then you have to bring electricity from the house through the wires. if you supply the power by wires throughout the garden it can be dangerous. because if there any power leakage from wires it can electrocute any person who comes in contact with the wires.

 But if you use solar garden lamps, you do not need to provide electricity. The solar panel generates electricity, stores it in a battery, and lights the bulb.

6.Ability to use in places where electricity is difficult to obtain

If you have a large garden, you will have to deal with various problems while wiring through it. There is also a high tendency for electricity to leak. But if you use solar garden lamps, you do not need to pull the wire. So by using it you can avoid that problem.

7.No energy production cost

In this case, solar energy does not require an external supply to generate electricity, so its energy cost is zero. The only source of it needs is sunlight. But if you use government electricity, it needs coal, oil, or other energy sources to generate electricity.

All that is required is the cost of installation. It is a profitable and environmentally friendly investment as it is an initial investment but there are no later costs.

Is there a downside to using solar garden lamps?

None of the disadvantages are harmful to humans or the environment. Most of those disadvantages come with the area where you live.

Weather

No matter how technologically advanced the solar garden lamp is, its efficiency drops during cloudy rainy days. The productivity of solar panels depends on sunlight. Low sunlight or a rainy day or days can have a significant effect on these lights. Also, keep in mind that this does not accumulate energy at night.

Sunlight availability

Now you know that this lamp needs sunlight to work. Sunlight is the main factor that determines the efficiency of your lamp. Accordingly, these lamps should be installed in a well-lit area. If it is installed in trees shade or other places where there is no light, it will not work efficiently.

Reliability

Since solar energy depends on sunlight, it does not generate electricity at night and is limited due to various environmental factors. Environmental issues such as clouds, rainy days, and storms reduce the amount of sunlight you absorb and reduce the electricity store in the battery. Then you may have a problem with your lamp going dark or lit for a long time.

Can you use solar garden lamps in the winter season?

Yes, you can use it. Solar garden light can also use in the winter season. But their output is lower than the summer season due to low sunlight during the winter and the accumulation of snow on the panels. Read our article about this and winter solar panel cleaning and everything else here.

Do you need to clean this garden solar light?

Not necessarily if you live in a rainy area. The solar panel on your lamp gives the lamp full power, receives sunlight through it, stores it in a battery, and lights it at night. So if there is dust or dirt on your solar panel, it will reduce the efficiency of your solar garden lamp. But if you live in a rainy area, the rain removes dust, dirt, and other things.

If there is no rain in your area, you may need to clean it 3 or 4 times a year. Because dust and bird droppings can reduce the efficiency of your lamp.

| Conclusion |

Using solar garden lamps has its own advantages and disadvantages. As we can see it has more advantages than disadvantages. Also, the disadvantages are very minor problems which only affect the efficiency of the solar garden lamps. As the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. We can say using solar garden light is profitable.
