The study said the development of China's domestic solar LED lighting is beneficial to the economy

In developing countries and regions, solar LED lighting is increasingly replacing candles, firewood, kerosene lamps and other traditional lighting using fuel, resulting in a huge energy saving and environmental benefits. Not only that, U.S. researchers found that this trend can stimulate local economic development, is expected to create about 2 million jobs worldwide.

The Laurence Berkeley National Laboratory energy analyst Dr. Evan Mills completed so far before the first global analysis on how to convert solar lighting to LED impact on employment and job opportunities. He focused on 274 million of the world's poorest households in the absence of electricity supply in the world's top 112 million. These are mainly distributed in Africa and Asia, the family does not have access to the grid, but also can not afford solar power equipment, it is suitable for the use of solar LED lighting.

In a recent study published on the website for sustainable energy, Mills said that solar energy instead of fossil fuels for lighting, creating more job opportunities than the loss of jobs.

According to Mills survey analysis, including the sale of candles, wicks, kerosene and other supplies, including the fossil fuel based lighting industry in the world supports about 150 thousand jobs. And every 10 thousand people can not get the power grid to use solar LED lights, the local solar LED lighting industry needs to create 38 jobs. According to this calculation, the current increase in employment due to solar LED lighting and employment opportunities provided by fossil fuels lighting. In order to fully meet the needs of 112 million families of solar LED lighting, but also need to add about 2 million jobs, far more than the fuel based lighting market may lose jobs.

The report also said that the quality of new jobs will be greatly improved. In the supply of fuel for lighting, black market transactions, cross-border smuggling of kerosene and the use of child labor, such as instability, the fuel itself is toxic. In contrast, the solar LED lighting industry to create jobs legal, healthy, stable and fixed.

The report also said that the use of solar LED lighting may also indirectly through employment, energy saving funds spending, improve the working environment, improve the cultural level of employment, create more jobs and employment income.
