Abstract

Lighting appears to be the most sought-after application when solar electricity first reaches a remote village. Solar lanterns increase living standards, enhance education, provide extra time for productive work during the night, initiate rural development, and improve health and usually save money compared to kerosene lanterns. This study begins with the gathering of research findings based on solar lanterns and rural lighting as well as the component selections of a new solar lantern design that would improve the quality of light and enhance performance to meet standards for area and reading lighting. Experiments were performed on four commercial lanterns and generated data on the light output, charging and discharging performance. A prototype was designed and fabricated based on light intensity and duration, and cost. The results from prototype testing show that the new design meets user requirements and improves the light quality compared to the four tested lanterns. Results are encouraging of incorporating new technologies: dye-sensitized solar modules, and in headlamps: ultraca pacitors, and light emitting diodes(LED)..
