Philips Solar lighting – for greener, smarter and sustainable world

Lighting accounts for 12% of global power consumption. Compared to conventional lighting, connected LED lighting can save up to 80% on lighting-related energy consumption. We call this transition the Green Switch, and it's a quick and effective way that you can make progress toward your sustainability goals.

In order to achieve the targets set out in the EU Green Deal, and to improve the lives of people across the globe, it's so important that we embrace clean energy. The adoption of solar powered and solar hybrid streetlighting in our cities will help to reduce emissions and accelerate the scale of renewables.

Infrastructure projects, such as connected street lighting retrofits, create 19 local jobs for every EUR 1 million spent benefitting the environment, the economy, and building the digital platforms needed to ensure a green future. Lighting is the quickest path to a greener, smarter and more prosperous world.

Solar energy is renewable, free, and available everywhere on the planet. Solar technology can help more people access cheap, portable, and clean power, that it needs low maintenance.

Moving to solar lighting may prove beneficial in the fight against the triple crisis of climate change, rising energy costs, and energy sourcing challenges.

For example, Marina Bar (city of Bar, Montenegro), was equipped with all-in-one Philips SunStay solar powered street lights – to help reduce energy costs, increase the comfort and become more sustainable.

Solar street lighting can decrease energy consumption by up to 100% compared to a conventional solution in case of off-grid systems.

Switching all conventional light points globally to connected LED could save annually:
420 million tonnes of CO2e emissions

870 TWh of electricity consumption

EUR 120 billion in electricity costs

Solar is widely considered to be the most effective form of renewable energy, and the technology is advancing every day. Philips has a range of products that help keep energy bills down and have a positive impact on the environment. And as you can see, the saving potential is extraordinary.

Together we can create a brighter lives and a better world.
