Solar Street Lights are raised light sources which are powered by photovoltaic panels generally mounted on the light structure. The photovoltaic panels charge a rechargeable battery, which powers a fluorescent or LED lamp during the night.

Features : Most solar panels turn on and turn off automatically by sensing outdoor light using a light source. Solar street lights are designed to work throughout the night. Many can stay lit for more than one night if the sun is not available for a couple of days. Older models included lamps that were not fluorescent or LED, Solar light installed in windy regions are generally equipped with flat panels to better cope with the winds.

Latest designs use wireless technology and fuzzy control theory for battery management. The street lights using the technology can operate as a network with each light having the capability of performing on or off the network.
