چکیده
A number of villages in India is yet to be electrified due to its location. At the same time it is also important to mention that grid connection to those areas is very expensive and time consuming. The source of lighting in those areas are conventional fuel based lighting system i.e. mainly kerosene based lantern. It has immense health hazard and environmental impact. To meet the energy demand of the off grid locations in India, solar energy can play vital role. The aim of the present study is to design an efficient and low cost solar based lighting system for the off grid location in India. The solar based lighting system was compared to the kerosene based lantern and found much efficient as far as lighting flux is concerned. The cost of the solar based system and payback period is also studied. The payback period definitely indicates the opportunity to utilize solar based lighting system for off grid locations in India.
