Solar Lighting

Solar lighting can be found outdoors and indoors. This type of lighting uses solar cells for power. The cells harvest the sun’s power and energy during the day and convert it into energy to be used at night to light the lights.

Outdoor solar lighting is great for landscape lighting. Solar lights illuminate plants, walkways, fountains, and sculptures. These lights do not have to be turned on to work. Many of them illuminate automatically after the sun goes down.

Indoor solar lights are usually provided power from outdoors. The power is often provided by solar panels. These panels are usually on the roof of a home or building.
