Solar street lights are independent of the utility grid. Hence, the operation costs are minimized. Solar street lights require much less maintenance compared to conventional street lights. Since external wires are eliminated, risk of accidents are minimized. This is a non polluting source of electricity Separate parts of solar system can be easily carried to the remote areas It allows the saving of energy and also cost. Each street light can have its own photo voltaic panel, independent of other
I would add; Upgrade all street lights to LED!
Way back in 1985, when the university of Malta introduced a pilot project on the ring road, I had gone a step further as a local councillor in a new locality(Pembroke) but unfortunately, Enemalta were adamant against such street lamps. Hopefully this will be studied further and introduced henceforth.
