Arduino
Light dependent resistor(LDR)
Light Emitting Diode (LED)
Comparator
Resistors
Voltage Regulator

SOLAR PANEL

Solar panels are active solar devices

that convert sunlight into electricity

INFRARED SENSOR
An infrared sensor is an
electronic instrument that
is used to sense certain
characteristics of its surroundings
by either emitting and/or
detecting infrared radiation.
It is also capable of measuring heat of an
object and detecting motion.

ARDUINO

Arduino is a single-board
microcontroller, intended to make the
application of interactive objects or
environments more accessible.

LIGHT DEPENDENT RESISTOR

Light-dependent resistor (LDR) is a

light-controlled variable resistor.
The resistance of a light dependent resistor
decreases with increasing incident
light intensity.

LIGHT EMITTING DIODE (LED)

A light-emitting diode (LED) is a

semiconductordevice that emits
visible light when an electriccurrent
passes through it

COMPARATOR (LM358)

Comparatoris a device that

compares twovoltages orcurrents
and outputs a digital signal
indicating which is larger

RESISTORS

A resistor is an electrical component

that limits or regulates the flow of
electricalcurrentin an electronic
circuit.

VOLTAGE REGULATOR

Avoltage regulatoris designed to

automatically maintain aconstant
voltagelevel.

ADVANTAGES

Solar street light is independent of grid as a

result of this operating cost is much low.
Maintenance cost is much low compared to
conventional street light.
Intensity of LED can be controlled effectively
without changes in its light color which is not
possible in case of High power supply.
Risk of accidents is very low.

ADVANTAGES

It is environmental friendly, no harmful

emissions.
Longer life compared to conventional street
lights.
Power consumption is much lower.
Totally automatic no manual interference
required.

CHALLENGES AND DRAWBACKS

Initial investment is very high.

Rechargeable batteries have to be replaced
from time to time
Non-availability of sunlight during rainy and
winter seasons is a problem.
Dust accumulation on the surface of panel
creates a problem.
Sensor problems regarding sensing function.

CONCLUSION

The components used in the project, like

Arduino, relays and sensors, are slowly
becoming an indispensable part of our daily
routines.
The use of power electronics is increasing
exponentially across various sectors of
human life.
Keeping in mind the urgent need for energy
conservation, SSLS (Smart Street Light
System) is an excellent and effective
solution.

CONCLUSION

Safe lighting protocols with consumption of

minimal amount of power.
Less energy consumption leads to less cost
in street lightning.

FUTURE SCOPE

The future scope of this project expands into

speed detection and customizable area of
illumination.
The Future scope of the project is very high
as our non-renewable sources are vanishing
with a rapid rate and in future we will be
going to rely on renewable source of energy
only, which is the main idea of our project
that in future the demand of solar energy is
going to increase.
