Solar Based Home Lighting System converts solar energy into electricity and provides a comfortable level of illumination in one or more rooms of a house. The Home Lighting System can also be used to run a small DC fan or a 12-V DC television along with the CFL. The Home Lighting System consists of a PV module of 18, 37 or 74 WP capacity and is designed to work for three to four hours daily even in cloudy days. Solar Based Home Lighting System is usually mounted on the roof of the house or any other convenient place so that it is exposed to direct solar radiation throughout the day, avoiding any shadow.
