Benefits Of Solar Energy For Lighting For Helipad

By Roger Watson


Solar energy has become an alternative source of energy worldwide since unlike in the past years when it was only used by military and for space purposes, it has become cheaper and quite affordable for use as a source of energy for everyone globally. The energy is also used today to provide energy for lighting for helipad. The main reason for using solar energy is because besides being quite a competitive option to the system that uses cables it is also easier to use for night operations.

This solar system installed through a Hybrid AGL which is reliable and with no complexities while installing. The duration taken in completing the whole process is remarkably short, taking just a few days as compared with the cabling system that is usually complex and takes a longer duration to put in place. This makes this system quite efficient, and the technology is tested and proven to be effective. This translates into overall profitability and real economy growth.

Using solar power does not require the use of wires and cords associated with the usual cabling of conventional lighting. The cost of purchasing these wires and fee to pay people with wiring skills is done away with. The running of day to day operations in the port will not be halted since there will be no involvement of a large group of workers running up and down during the operation hours. There is, therefore, zero loss incurred due to shutting down.

The LED fixtures, which are the fixtures used when fixing solar lighting system, are hardy rendering them effective for outdoor usage. This is an important attribute of beating rough weather conditions that become either cold or hot. The durability of these appliances is high and completely out lives the conventional wiring fixtures. This minimizes the occurrences of breakdowns and repairs.

Installing solar lights is affordable since the energy is freely available. The onset of the installation project may be a little bit costly, but it gets lower as it comes to an end since there are no running costs and the fixtures used last longer than all other fixtures in the market. There is, therefore, a huge saving realized over time making the solar energy a choice of many.

The solar system uses green energy, and it is appropriate in curbing the problem of destruction of the ozone layer by eliminating carbon emission into the atmosphere. The usual incandescent fixtures emit gases that are harmful to the environment hence the workable solution would be to use the energy from the sun.

The technology relies on the sun that is always available and has even gotten hotter in the recent past due to global warming. This solar illumination is also effective in areas that the conventional system of using wired illumination is not suitable hence promoting the safety that comes with a proper lighting system.

Ports have no excuse now for not providing the required illumination or for using sub- standard systems that does not provide good visibility since the solar power is cheap and available. Considering the article above, one will have the knowledge of the benefits that come with solar technology at applying it at the heliport for added advantage.
