Recent technological innovations have paved the way to the rebirth of flagpole lightings through solar powered ones. Solar powered lightings are raised outdoor light sources, which are powered by PV (photovoltaic)panels. These panels are mounted on the lighting structure or connected in the flagpole. PV panels have a rechargeable battery, providing power to the fluorescent or LED lamp during the entire night.
Most of the solar panels automatically sense outdoor light through a light source. These can give off light on successive nights even when the sun's energy is not available for a couple of days. Many users are switching to solar lightings nowadays due to a number of reasons.
Solar energy can be directly converted to electricity by photovoltaic cells. Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems provide electricity to home or business for lighting. The benefits of solar powered lightings are numerous.
Solar powered flagpole lightings are an excellent way for homeowners to reduce their carbon footprint. The lights charge throughout the day and then run off stored energy. This means homeowners are able to light their flags through the night with no additional energy consumption. Lighting a flagpole with electric lights for a comparable amount of time would constitute a large increase in energy consumption. Solar lightings are generally safer than electric lights, as there are no electrical cables. The lack of cables makes them a good choice for installations where there is a risk that children might trip over exposed cables from electrical lighting options. Solar powered lightings are also safer than lanterns, which pose a fire hazard.
On the other hand, if there are advantages, solar lightings also have a number of disadvantages. It also pays to make you aware of these few advantages just so you can compare it to conventional lighting systems. In the end, you just have to decide whether the advantages top the disadvantages or not.
Some disadvantages are the following. There is a barrage of cheap solar powered flagpole lightings being imported and sold, that do not comply with the flag statute. This is bad for a number of reasons. Imported stuff is cheaply made and more importantly, the designs, materials, colors, and methods do not compare well with the better quality, longer-lasting, and correctly designed flagpole lightings made by American manufacturers. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flags and flagpole lightings offered a special edition of solar powered flagpole lightings to provide innovative solutions for individual projects.
