Do it yourself - For stand alone systems, no wiring or electrical contractor is needed.

Reduce your energy costs - Consider replacing some of your existing grid-connected lights with stand-alone solar.

Longer life, less maintenance - SInce LEDs and fluorescent lamps outlast halogen and incandescent lights by 5 to 20 lifetimes, there is much less worry and fuss surrounding fixture upkeep.

Make a visual statement - Your neighbors will notice that you are doing something for the environment and saving money in the process. Lighting is the most visible form of energy usage next to transportation.
