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.
