Solar Home Lighting Systems (SHLS) are innovative, sustainable solutions designed to power lighting and small appliances using solar energy. These systems are particularly beneficial for homes in rural or off-grid areas, where conventional electricity supply is unreliable or unavailable. Solar Home Lighting Systems reduce dependency on grid power, lower electricity costs, and provide eco-friendly lighting alternatives, all while supporting clean energy initiatives.

Solar Home Lighting Systems are designed to harness solar energy during the day and store it for use when there is no sunlight. The core components of a solar home lighting system include solar panels, a battery, charge controller, and the lighting devices themselves. Depending on the system, additional appliances like fans or small electronic devices can be powered as well.
