The global solar lighting market is experiencing robust growth, fueled by rising energy costs, government incentives for renewable energy, and the increasing need for off-grid solutions in developing regions. Solar streetlights, garden lights, and portable solar lights dominate the market, with solar LED technology enhancing efficiency and affordability.
Solar lights are powered by solar panels that convert electricity. During the day, even on cloudy days, solar panels can collect and store the energy you need. Solar energy is becoming more and more popular as a safe, environmentally friendly and "inexhaustible" new energy source.
In the immediate future, silicon solar cells are likely to continue to decrease in cost which will make them more accessible to more people in the future especially in developing countries. In the United States, the cost decreases are predicted to increase the solar power produced by 500% by 2050. Theoretically to power the whole world as we know it now, we need 4,000,000 square meters of solar cells. To put that into perspective, the Sahara Desert is 3,600,000 square meters.
