ECONOMIC RECOVERY WITH SOLAR LIGHTING
• Solar-powered lighting is the most sustainable, carbon-neutral means to provide exterior illumination.
• Solar-powered lighting is easy to understand. Anyone who sees a solar panel attached to an exterior lighting fixture knows what it is, how it works, and can easily determine that it is green and renewable.
• Installing solar-powered lighting creates jobs. Solar-powered lighting does not require any connection to the electrical grid allowing any skilled contractor to install solar-powered lights.
• Solar-powered lighting projects are “shovel ready” because it typically takes only 6-8 weeks from initial inquiry to installation.
• Solar-powered lighting uses long-life LED technology to provide lighting for over 20 years without needing to change light bulbs; eliminating complaints about non-operating outdoor lighting fixtures!
