As a renewable energy source, solar street lights are green and environmentally friendly. With the strong support of national policies, solar street lights enter the roads of cities and rural areas. According to the analysis, the value of solar street lamps is reflected in their social and economic benefits.
Social benefits - reducing energy stress and improving environmental pollution
China's energy mainly depends on coal, oil and natural gas, and all three are the chief culprit in the production of carbon dioxide, which has a serious impact on air pollution.
The solar energy used in solar streetlights is a clean renewable energy source. Compared with traditional power generation methods, it has no pollution, safety, simple maintenance, and resources are never exhausted. Compared to traditional high pressure sodium lamps, it can reduce carbon dioxide emissions. According to statistics, if China's 20 million street lamps are all converted to solar street lamps, it can reduce 25.8 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions, equivalent to 10.3 billion US dollars in carbon dioxide abatement costs. Therefore, investing in the solar street lamp industry can generate greater social benefits.
