In the developing countries and regions, solar LED lighting is increasingly replaced candles, firewood, kerosene lamps use fuels such as traditional lighting, creating huge energy conservation and environmental protection benefits. Not only that, the United States, the researchers found that this trend also stimulates the local economy development, is expected to create about 2 million worldwide job opportunities.

Energy analyst at the Lawrence Berkeley national laboratory, Dr Evan mills has been completed to date first about how to solar LED lighting will affect the global analysis of employment and job opportunities. He focuses on the global about 274 million lack of power supply of 112 million of the poorest in the family. These families are mainly distributed in Africa and Asia is not connected to the electricity grid, also cannot afford solar power generation equipment, thus is suitable for using solar LED lighting.

Mills in the sustainable development of energy recently published bimonthly website related research reports that solar energy to replace fossil fuels used for lighting, creating more jobs than loss of jobs.

According to the investigation and analysis, this paper mills, including selling candles, wick, kerosene and other products, based on the lighting industry of fossil fuels in the global support for about 150000 jobs. And for every 10000 people without access to power grid power supply to use solar energy LED lights, solar LED lighting industry will need to create local 38 jobs. According to this calculation, the current for solar LED lighting and increase jobs and employment opportunities provided by the fossil fuels lighting. And to fully meet the demand of 112 million families of solar LED lighting, you also need to add about 2 million jobs, this is far more than fuel based lighting market may lose jobs.

Research report also said that will greatly improve the quality of new jobs. In the fuel supply for lighting, filled with the black market, cross-border smuggling kerosene and the use of child labor, etc., the work is not stable, and toxic fuel itself. In contrast, solar LED lighting industry to create jobs in the legal, healthy, stable and fixed.

Report also says, the use of solar energy LED lighting can also through the indirect employment, energy saving money to spend, improve the working environment, improve the level of workers culture etc, create more jobs and employment income.
