One of the fastest growing business in the country is the Solar Energy Business. There is high demand in the country especially in new residential suburbs which may not be connected by ZESA. Most home owners are therefore resorting to solar energy as an alternative. Below we feature one solar product-solar street lights. Visitors to Mrewa Town Centre should have seen the nice street solar lights that are installed there. The Rusape Town Council recently flighted tender adverts for solar street lights. This shows a growing business by city and rural town councils for solar street lighting.

Prices of the solar lights range from $350-$400 per light in China. You can refer to various trading platforms from China such as Made-In-China or Alibaba.

Solar street lights are fresh alternative to traditional street lamps such as LPS, HPS, or MH street lights. LED lighting provides a multitude of advantages over conventional incandescent light: LED solar street lights are environmental friendly, energy efficient, and cost-effective. This smart, ‘green’ option for outdoor LED lighting has emerged on the green scene due to the recent technological advancements of LED illumination.

The system is mainly composed of solar panel, light source, controller and battery. In daytime, when there is sunshine, the solar panel can convert the solar energy to electric power and store it in maintenance-free battery. At night or rainy or cloudy condition, the controller can control the lights automatically on when day off, auto-off when day break, and the battery shall supply the power for lighting.
