Leveraging the principles of photovoltaic cells, the solar street lighting system captures solar energy during the day, converting it into electrical energy stored in a battery. As night descends, the lamps activate automatically, drawing power from the stored energy, thus ensuring uninterrupted operation.
Storage Battery: The storage battery plays a crucial role in solar street lights, storing the generated energy for use during nighttime or periods of low sunlight. Lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries are commonly used, each with their advantages in terms of capacity, lifespan, and discharge characteristics.
Solar street lighting based on photovoltaic (PV) electricity and reliable batteries and used at night to power highly efficient light emitting diode (LED) light sources.
Harnessing solar energy for street lighting aligns, with a growing consensus on the necessity of sustainable energy sources . In addition to suggesting an autonomous photovoltaic street lighting system coupled with smart relay control, this research adds to this revolutionary movement. The suggested system has all the necessary parts.
The design, implementation, and assessment of a self-sufficient photovoltaic street lighting system is the main goal of this study. Accompanied by intelligent relay control, in addition to fusing solar energy harvesting concepts.
Charge Controller: The charge controller is the brain of the solar street light system, managing the flow of electricity between the solar panel, battery, and LED light.
