Hybrid Solar Lighting – the Future of Solar Lights

Hybrid Solar Lighting

In this article, I wanted to go a little further in depth into hybrid solar lighting. My first article can be found under Hybrid Solar Lighting Technology.

Hybrid solar lighting is the new buzzword in the energy sector. Unlike standard solar lights, hybrid solar lighting is relatively new and uses a combination of technologies. Conventional solar lights use solar energy and convert it into electrical energy to light the bulb. In the newer version, the sunlight is mirrored indoors using a collector and optical light cables. When there is enough sunlight, there is no . . . → Read More

Industrial Solar Lighting

I touched on industrial solar lights in the Hybrid Solar Lighting Technology article, but I would like to go into a bit more detail about some of the uses of solar lights in commercial application and some of the companies that are on the cutting edge of solar technology.

There are a number of companies that are leading the way for commercial solar lighting. One of those companies is Solar Cynergy. “Solar Cynergy manufactures high end architectural solar LED lighting for homes, developments and cities” as well as “an OEM line of Solar Photovoltaic Panels.” They are primarily . . . → Read More

Hybrid Solar Lighting Technology

With the increased use of solar lights in residential and commercial applications, there is a push for more advanced technologies to integrate indoor solar lights into more and more applications. One such technology is called “ hybrid lighting technology”.

Artificial lighting accounts for the largest percentage of electricity use in commercial buildings in the United States. Hybrid solar lighting provides a promising new way to reduce energy consumption while also delivering increased benefits associated with natural lighting in commercial buildings.

Hybrid solar lighting contributes to meeting the requirements set by the Energy Policy Act of 2005 for renewable energy consumption by . . . → Read More

Usage and Benefits of Solar Lighting

Outdoor Solar Lights

Many of you have seen the little solar lights that are used as accent lights in gardens or along walkways or whatnot to add aesthetic appeal to a home’s landscaping. In fact, when most people hear the term “solar lights”, that is usually the picture that pops into their head. With the mindset of our society going more and more toward “green technology” (rightly so), we are seeing more and more of these green lighting solutions.

A quick internet search will show that, not only are the solar landscape accent lights very popular, but there . . . → Read More
