Arduino Based Solar Street Light: Abstract

This project proposes an automatic solar-powered street light system that reduces the intensity of LED lights at night to conserve energy. An Arduino board controls the intensity of a string of LEDs using pulse-width modulation to provide different light levels throughout the night. A solar panel charges a battery during the day, while a charge controller protects the battery from overcharging or deep discharge. The system aims to automatically switch the lights on at dusk and off at dawn each day using only solar power.

Arduino based Solar Street Light

ABSTRACT:
The main goal of this project is to implement an auto intensity control of LED based street light
system from solar energy for conserving the electrical power on the streetlight using Arduino
board. As the traffic decreases slowly in late nights the intensity is reduced progressively till
morning to save energy and thus, the street lights switch ON at the dusk and then switch OFF at
the dawn automatically. The process repeats every day.
Intensity is not possible to be controlled for the high intensity discharge (HID) lamp which is
generally used in urban street lights. LED lights are the future of lighting, because of their low
energy consumption and long life and also they are fast replacing conventional lights where its
intensity control is possible by the pulse width modulation.
This proposes system uses an Ardunio board and battery for power supply. In this project uses a
solar panel to charge the battery. The charge controller circuit is used to control the charging. A
string of LEDs are interfaced to the Ardunio board with help of a MOSFET switch.
The intensity control of LED light is possible by varying duty cycle from a DC source. A
programmed Arduino board is engaged to provide different intensities at the different times of
night using PWM technique. The charge controller is used for protect the battery from overload
and deep discharge protection.
This project future can be enhanced by integrating the LDR to follow the switching operation
precisely.
