​Solar lights are changing how India lights its homes, streets, and villages. With rising power costs and growing awareness about clean energy, more people are turning to solar lighting. Today, solar lights are not just for remote villages; they are used in cities, industries, farms, and public spaces.

​

• Over 4 million solar street lights have been installed under government-supported programs.

• They help save electricity, lower power bills, and reduce dependence on the grid.

• Solar lights also help reduce pollution by cutting down diesel use in rural areas.

• With falling prices of solar panels and batteries, solar lights are now more affordable than ever.

• By 2030, solar power, including solar lights, is expected to help provide electricity to most rural areas where normal power lines are missing or not reliable.

• Big government projects like Smart City Mission and Saubhagya Yojana are using more solar street lights, both in cities and villages, to make public spaces safer and brighter.​
