Solar LED light favored by partial rural areas, 1H16 global shipments of 4 million 300 thousand

In Africa, India and other remote areas without electricity, lighting at night can only rely on the old kerosene lamp, candle or battery flashlight, not only the high cost, so that the burden on the poor, but also the pollution of the environment.

However, the progress of science and technology provides new lighting options with grid solar LED lamp, according to the world bank's global illumination (Lighting Global) platform, and the global power grid Lighting Association (Global Off-Grid Lighting Association, GOGLA) the latest semi annual report on joint research, solar LED lights to June 2016 has replaced the 20 million 800 thousand global traditional lighting product.

The global lighting and global power grid Lighting Association every half a series of off grid lighting market survey report, in the world, there are 93 million 500 thousand people living in the lack of power of life, however, with the development of various power grid energy technology to June 2016, 36 million 500 thousand people have no from power, promoted to the first of the first level the power and ability to obtain, with the village areas toward consumer products such as solar lantern, the cumulative 2080 has replaced the kerosene lamp, candle, or battery flashlight, saves partial rural residents up to $4 billion 330 million in energy expenditure.

The first half of 2016, the global solar LED lamp product shipments 4 million 300 thousand, compared with the last half of the year, 4 million 100 thousand in the first half of 2015 grew 5%; among them, 45.5%, 1 million 960 thousand product sales sites located in the area south of the Sahara; South Asia accounted for 40.9%, 1 million 760 thousand. 70% of sales and $77% in sub Saharan Africa are located in East africa. South Asia is the main sales locations in India, sales of 1 million 720 thousand.

Revenue was $139 million, compared with $118 million in the second half of 2015 substantial growth of 18%, revenue growth is greater than the volume of consumers is the main reason that solar LED lamps advantage, began to buy more more and more high priced products. Revenue figures have not yet included the use of prepaid lease type industry, because many businesses do not want to disclose revenue, so 20~50 watt scale system shipments may be underestimated.

In the past the main sales of less than 3 watts single lamp system, in 2015 accounted for more than 90%, now the proportion of sales of less than 3 watts system decreased to 77% 3~10 watt multi lamp solar system sales will increase 4 times, such systems often support mobile phone charging. The sale of the system, there are 80% shipments are certified products, accounting for the total revenue of 75%. Increase in the number of watts, as well as the purchase of quality certification products, showing consumer awareness and confidence in the rise of solar boarding, and gradually climb the energy ladder.

According to the report, this exciting data proved through active commercial market to achieve energy equality, provide the development community to achieve energy capacity, while reducing energy costs, improve the poor balance, but also can reduce the pollution. The huge investment in solar energy and the LED industry, resulting in substantial price cuts, has become a major push for this effort, demonstrating the ability of capitalism to improve human life.
