Abstract
Unavailability of grid based electricity is a major challenge facing a majority of developing countries, particularly the population in rural areas. Consequently, people are forced to use the kerosene lantern in much of the world for lighting. However, fuel-based lighting is contributing to global warming and causing serious health related problems. To address these issues, several developing countries are now encouraging the use of sustainable clean lighting systems - solar-powered light emitting diode system. In the present paper, barriers and mechanisms to boost the use of solar-powered lighting are discussed.
