The work is devoted to the issues of research and evaluation of the operation of existing lighting systems in rural areas. In the course of the research, statistical methods were used to process data on the lighting and electric power characteristics of the work of the studied lighting systems. The use of a lighting system with photovoltaic panels has the advantages of no need to connect to the central power grid, a relatively high proportion of illumination in the range of up to 2 meters and a significant proportion of illumination in the arc range of up to 1200 relative to the lighting spectrum of the luminaire when compared with traditional lighting systems. The shortcomings of lighting systems on photovoltaic panels are identified in the form of a significant dependence of the duration of work on climatic factors due to insufficient battery charge, etc.
