An advantage is that because they use the sun's energy to supply energy to the light strings, they don't draw electricity from your power grid. Because they are fully self contained, you can use them anywhere you want to, as long as the solar panel is placed where it can get the most sun. Because they have their own battery back up, you don't have to be anxious about not having light during a black out, or when the weather is bad. Even if you have a pavilion that is pretty far from the house, you can still have light. Many of these solar powered light strings are on a detector that instantly comes on when the sun sets.
