Various possibilities of using solar energy exist. Here you find a few applications and experiences with them in projects.
Electric street lights consume high amounts of energy, which makes solar street lights attractive. They can be used at streets, highways, parks and villages. An important impact is increased security. In this section, tips, tricks as well as common sources of failures are described.
Battery charging stations are usually not the first choice for Rural electrification, but they can be viable in remote areas were no other alternatives exist and the income of the population is too low to invest in other solutions as for example solar home systems. Costs, models, leassons learned and exapmles with solar battery charging stations can be read up in this section.
