The Benefits of LED
Long Life & Energy Efficiency
lifetimes that can last decades (from 50,000 (17 yrs at 8 hrs/night) to 100,000 hours), many times that of other types of lighting, making them a great solution for hard-to-reach or costly to replace/maintain locations like street or parking/area lights.
In general, LED lights are significantly more energy efficient than other types of lighting (as much as 90% more).
Brightness
Durability and robustness
Non-toxic
Lower overall product life-cycle cost
LED lights are more expensive to purchase initially; however, they can last significantly longer (decades vs. a few months or years) which translates to lower maintenance costs (fewer bulb replacements and labor/equipment associated with frequent bulb changes) and significantly reduced energy requirements.
Cool & Solar Friendly
LED has less heat radiation than HID (high-intensity-discharge) or incandescent lighting. LEDs are dramatically more efficient than conventional lights, making them ideal for solar applications. Enable significantly more light output (lumens/watt) and less battery storage needs due to the increased energy efficiency.
The Benefits of Solar
Environmental Impact
Location
Scalability
Peak Energy Generation
Fuel Risk
Solar energy has no fuel price volatility like fossil and nuclear fuels. Solar energy systems can be properly sized and configured to be highly reliable and in turn will provide long-term fixed prices for your electric power needs.
Reliability
Solar roof and ground mount systems require minimal maintenance as there are limited moving parts.
