Solar energy comes from radiant heat and light from the sun. It is renewable energy and now is widely used by many not only to save money, but to save the earth.

Many people are using solar lighting for practicable purposes. There are differences in this such as converting sunlight into energy. A photo-cell sensor will automatically turn a light on at night after being charged all day from the sun.

Solar lighting using the photo-cell sensor is easy. Simply purchase a solar light and place it in the sunlight during the day then at night, it will illuminate and some solar lights will function up to 10 hours a night.

One of the best advantages of using solar lighting is that you don’t have to install electrical wires. You can place the lights in many places that you can’t get an electrical line ran to. As long as the light has direct sunlight you will have light from it at night. It’s best to find the place that you can get the best sunlight for it to work the best.

If you have a backyard that you use at night, you know that its nice sitting outside with some lighting, usually the lighting that you may use would be a porch light, which is great if you are trying to get inside safely, but if you are outside just entertaining or enjoying the evenings, that lighting may be too much. This is when it’s great to have solar lights in the backyard. These lights can blend in with the landscape of your backyard and give you just enough light to make it cozy, but not enough light to blind you.

You can use solar lights anywhere and the nice thing about solar lights is that they don’t have wires and you can move them around in your yard if you are having a patio party or a swim party at night in just a matter of minutes. You simply pull them out of the ground, and re-plant them where you want them. Sometimes we do this, we have them in the sunlight, and then before our backyard party we move them to snuggle up against the bushes and give people a good lighted area to enjoy. During the day they will need sunlight, at night you can move them anywhere you need them to be.

In locations that is difficult to run electrical lines for regular lighting, solar lights are a great option. You can now choose any location for solar lights in your yard and landscape.
