In its early days, solar AGL served primarily as an emergency option—deployed when grid-powered lighting failed or wasn't available. It was especially useful for remote, low-traffic, or temporary airfields where full-scale electrical systems weren’t feasible.

Over the years, the technology has matured significantly. Modern solar AGL now meets international aviation standards and has been adopted as a permanent solution for commercial airports worldwide. Yet despite this evolution, emergency use of solar AGL remains highly relevant:

➡️Rapid deployment during grid outages

➡️Temporary lighting during runway maintenance or expansion

➡️Support at contingency landing zones or during natural disasters

➡️Helipad or airstrip operations in remote areas

Numerous real-world examples demonstrate the effective use of solar AGL systems in supporting airport operations during emergencies, many of which are publicly documented and accessible through open sources.
