Abstract: The present study was conducted in two villages viz. Ludas and Patan of Hisar, block II, district Hisar selected randomly, to study the benefits and constraints in use of solar lighting system in rural areas of district Hisar. A sample of 100 rural women respondents was taken randomly from the list of households having solar technologies. Data pertaining to benefits and constraints in use of solar lighting system was collected by using, duly pretested and finalized, interview schedule. It was observed that economic benefits ranked highest among all benefits with WMS of 1.91 which means that the respondents perceived the use of solar technologies as economically beneficial. Technical constraints ranked highest with WMS of 1.35, followed by situational constraints and repairing related constraints (rank II, WMS- 1.20). Repairing needs ranked at the highest, followed by needs related to technical aspects and economical aspects.
