The solar energy is stored in a battery that is later used at night to turn on the light. There are other forms of collecting the sun’s energy to be used for lighting. New methods for harnessing the sun's energy are being invented regularly.
In some homes, solar lighting is consistently used to light up both indoor and outdoor areas. Indoor lights use the energy from the solar panels connected to them most likely installed in the roof or any area that has maximum exposure to sunlight. Outdoor solar landscape lighting usually has small solar panels installed on the lamp fixtures themselves. The lamp fixtures batteries are charged by solar energy. In most cases, the outdoor solar landscape lighting usually has a photo switch that is sensitive to the presence of sunlight. Solar landscape lighting is automatically triggered at dusk by a photo switch and uses its stored solar energy to light the yard.
Benefits of Solar Landscape Lighting
There are numerous advantages of using solar landscape lighting for the outdoors. One very obvious reason is saving electric costs of the household. Eventhough the initial cost of purchasing solar landscape lighting is higher than expected, in the long run it is cheaper that using electrical lights.
Using solar landscape lighting keeps your lawn clear of electrical wirings that you might need if you install electrical lights for your outdoor needs. Digging trenches for underground wires is tedious work and dangerous too: you could get electrocuted if the wires are improperly installed. {Solar landscape lighting can be easily installed by inserting the fixtures into the ground}.
Solar landscape lighting is advantageous also for most homeowners because most of them have photo switches that automatically turn on when daylight turns to dusk. When you come home, or are trying to find your way across your yard, this feature is especially helpful.
The use of solar landscape lighting is basically more advantageous. The disadvantages are sometimes the solar panels may not charge properly and give you a dim light but other than that all other problems with electrical or solar lighting may be experienced.
