The solar lighting market is estimated to grow in the coming years. An increase in research in the solar street lighting market, a decrease in the prices of solar street lighting solutions, and an increase in the number of smart cities will be the key factors driving the growth in the market. The rise in awareness and concern for climate change has led to stringent regulatory reforms for sustainable infrastructural development, thereby positively affecting the market of solar lighting.

Solar Street Lighting Market Dynamics:

The growing popularity of smart solar streetlights is one of the leading factors for the growth in the market. The key features are energy efficiency, and the maintenance and operation costs are low. The fast detection of faults due to real-time control decisions through the central control unit or system is also one of the fascinating features of using solar street lights. Such street lights are used in smart cities to reduce the consumption of energy, and we will soon notice an upsurge in demand in the coming years.

Solar streetlights are the most reliable source of energy when it comes to remote places. Solar streetlights are independent of the power grid; therefore, it is feasible to provide electricity to remote areas. The fall in the prices of solar panels has led to an increase in the installation of solar streetlights. This will lead to lucrative growth in the market. Solar panel costs dropped from $10 / W to around $2 / W between 1980 and 2010, a decrease of 80 % over 30 years, according to a National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) study. From 2015 to 2019, prices fell from $0.70 / W to $0.35 / W by an additional 50 %. It is expected that the reduction in their cost will reduce the cost of these devices and, in turn, drive the demand. There has been an increase in the number of smart city projects around the world in countries like China, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, and India. Among the countries in the Asia Pacific region, China is one of the largest investors in such projects.

Initiatives taken by the government will also foster growth in the market. In the Union Budget announced in India for 2021-2022, Rs. 2516 crore has been allocated to the solar power sector, which includes both off-grid and grid-interactive projects. China has more than doubled its renewable capacity in the year 2020 by building new wind and solar power plants. The Singapore government aims to convert all roads to smart LED street lighting by the year 2022. LED street lights, as compared to the current street lights, are 25 % more efficient. These are more energy-efficient, therefore more reliable, and require less frequent replacement. An increase in the development of countries leads to more investment in infrastructure. There has been a rise in vehicular traffic in countries like the US, China, India, Germany, and several other countries; therefore, the development of roads and highways is essential, which in turn will drive the market growth of solar street lights.

Solar Street Lighting Market Restraints:

One of the major drawbacks of these solar street lights is that they require a high initial investment when compared to convention street lights. However, the actual cost of these solar street lights is relatively low when it comes to operation and maintenance costs, electricity, and the long life of solar street lights. The risk of theft of these solar lights is high as they are costly and non-wired. The panels and the luminary can easily be stolen and sold for a high monetary value. In case of extreme weather conditions, the solar street lights may not perform well and lead to lower production of energy. The accumulation of snow, moisture, or dust on the solar panels will affect the overall performance of PV panels. Therefore, an occasional inspection of these solar street lights in case of extreme weather conditions is a must. Replacement of batteries is also necessary over the lifetime of a solar street light. The use of modern lithium batteries in solar street lights lasts longer than the ones used earlier. However, the batteries can get exhausted with use over time and replacement is necessary.

Solar Street Lighting Market Geographical Outlook:

• APAC region to witness lucrative growth

The Asia Pacific is one of the leading revenue generators of the solar street lighting market. An increase in infrastructure development and initiatives taken by countries like China, India, South Korea, and many others has driven the growth in the market. It is said to be the fastest-growing region in the world owing to the development of smart cities.
