Solar energy is one very important source of non-conventional energy. Earth receives an incredible supply of solar energy. Direct and indirect utilisation of this abundant energy source will play a key role in solving the energy and environmental problems faced by the world. Off-grid solar PV has a bright future in India. The impressive growth of the photovoltaic market, mainly driven by European interest for this technology, has led to a large-scale decrease in prices of solar panels. Solar Panels of different sizes are now available even in small towns and cities of the developing world at a very low retail price. Solar panels, when coupled with Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs), which are durable semiconductors under Solid State Lighting, provide one of the world’s most energy efficient light sources. White LED commercial bulbs have today reached efficacies of 180 lm/W, comparable to the efficacies of certain fluorescent and high intensity discharge (HID) lamps, LED bulb efficacies will only continue to get better. Erratic power supply in urban areas provides ample market for solar LED lights in urban communities as well. LED lights provide effective substitution in the time of power cuts and compare favourably (both in performance and cost) to other emergency lights in the market.
