How Solar Powered Street Lights Work

Lighting up public places like streets, roads, and parks is a necessity. The lights provide a sense of security in the dark of night. However, these street lights consume lots of energy. Only in the United States, street lights consume the same amount of energy as 1.9 million households. The street lights are also responsible for generating carbon emissions equivalent to 2.6 million cars. An alternative to this that has really caught on in a few states recently is the use of solar-powered street lights. Solar street lights are not only energy and cost-effective but are also environmentally-friendly.
