Raspberry Pi Based Solar Street Light: (IEEE-2015)
Raspberry Pi Based Solar Street Light: (IEEE-2015)
HID lamps are used in the urban street lights and these are based on the principle of gas
discharge. Therefore, the light intensity isn’t controllable by any voltage reduction method
because the discharge path is broken. LEDs are the longer term of lighting, attributed to their low
energy consumption and long life. These lights are quick replacement standard lights world wide.
White LEDs will replace the HID lamps whenever intensity control is feasible by PWM( Pulse
Width Modulation
The intensity of light helps in saving energy throughout late nights, whereas traffic density on the
streets is low. A Raspberry Pi board is engaged to supply totally different intensities at the
various times of night victimization PWM technique, for energy conserving for star based system,
employing a charge controller for battery charging, overload and deep discharge protection.
PLCs is employed in industrial applications for easy operations like serial switching of loads. The
proposed system uses a Raspberry Pi and the development of this application needs the
formation of the program via i/p key buttons. In industries, there are several tasks are
administered which requires some recurrent operation in various orders

For instance, particular loads need to be turned ON/OFF in a particular time intervals. So as to
attain this, the Raspberry Pi is programmed in such a way that the different loads can be
operated in 3 modes such as set, auto & manual mode. In set mode, through timers, the
machinery works based on i/p time arranged by the user whenever as in auto mode it works on
default time settings and eventually in the manual mode, it functions whereas individual key
buttons are pushed depending on the user requirement. All the status and modes are displayed
on a TV or PC.
Thus, tasks performed by costly PLCs will currently be achieved by employing a Raspberry Pi
board creating the device price effective. In the future, this project is often increased by
interfacing it with a GSM device wherever by sending an SMS to the system we will choose the
mode and timing remotely.
A bunch of LEDs are used to make a street light. The Raspberry Pi board comprises
programmable instructions, that controls the light intensity based on the pulse width modulation
signals produced. The light intensity can be kept high throughout the peak hours. Hen the traffic
on the roads decreases slowly, then light intensity also decreases till morning. Finally, it
shutdowns at 6 am and again continues at 6pm in the evening.
