Limited availability of grid-based electricity is a major challenge faced
by many developing countries, particularly the rural population. Fuel-based
lighting, such as the kerosene lantern, is widespread in these areas, but it
is a poor alternative, contributing to global warming and causing serious
health problems. Several developing countries are therefore now encouraging
the use of sustainable lighting. Solar Lighting gives an in-depth analysis
of energy-efficient light production through the use of solar-powered LED
systems. The authors pay particular attention to the interplay between
energy transformation and device efficiency. They also discuss diverse
aspects of renewable energy, including how an improvement in the efficiency
of appliances can reduce the cost of energy. Solar Lighting is written for
physicists, environmental experts and lighting engineers. It is also suitable
for undergraduate students in the fields of environmental science, electrical
engineering and renewable energy.
