Solar street lights provide complete independence from the power grid. Due to low maintenance and minimal operation costs, solar lighting has emerged as a popular and reliable source to power street lights. With this, transmission of electricity into remote areas has become feasible, which is currently not possible with traditional systems.
Falling prices of solar lighting solutions are driving the solar street lighting market. According to a National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) report, the cost of solar panels fell from $10/W to about $2/W between 1980 and 2010, an 80% drop in 30 years. The cost has dropped another 50% from $0.70/W to $0.35/W from 2015 to 2019. Reduction in their cost is expected to reduce the cost of these systems, thereby driving the market.
Rise in smart cities across the globe is a major driver of the growth of the solar street lighting market. A significant number of smart city development projects have been completed, with several underway in China, the United States, Saudi Arabia, India, South Korea, and other countries. China makes huge investments in projects like this compared to other her APAC countries. Moreover, South Korea signed a memorandum of understanding with Malaysia to build a smart city in Kota Kinabalu, the capital of Malaysia's Sabah state in 2018. As a result, demand for LED lighting is increasing worldwide to improve streetscapes and increase energy efficiency.Therefore, such initiatives related to the lighting has enhanced the Solar Street Lighting market CAGR across the globe in the recent years. However, to cater the demand there has been significant advances in reducing maintenance cost is another factor driving the growth of the Solar Street Lighting market revenue.
The Renewable Energy Street Lighting segmentation, based on type, includes standalone, and on-grid. The standalone solar street lighting segment held the majority share in 2021 in respect to the solar street lighting market revenue. This factor has increased the use of standalone systems in remote areas, contributing to the growth of the street lighting market.
The Photovoltaic Street Lighting segmentation, based on product type, includes compact fluorescent lamps (CFL), and light emitting diode (LED). The benefits of LED solar lighting that they are more reliable, consume less energy, gives better efficiency in light and lower price which plays a major role to driving growth of solar street lighting market. Hence, rising applications of light emitting diode (LED) for solar street lighting positively impacts the market growth.
