Solar technology is not a new technology, it was developed in 17th century B.C, and this technology has
marked its presence in both developing as well as developed countries. Electric Street lights consume more
energy as they use HD lamps. Today we have everything that work with solar energy like solar-powered
buildings, vehicles, solar LED street lights, etc., for energy conservation.

Nowadays a new range of solar LED Street lighting make their presence felt everywhere and these lights
are environmentally friendly and are easy to install and give high-intensity LED output. The solar LED street
lights system convert sun energy to electricity and the system is prompted to turn on as the darkness
approaches. Therefore, these lights automatically switch on after the sunset and after sunrise it switches
off.

Design of Solar LED Street Light

The solar street lights operate from night until morning. The LED lamp automatically switches on after the
sunset and switches off after the sunrise. This system design consists of the following parts:

Solar Panels

In solar street lights, the solar panel is one of the most important parts, and it is also known as solar
photovoltaic cell. These cells are of two types: poly crystalline and mono crystalline. Compare to the poly
crystalline, mono crystalline conversion rate is higher. Solar panels use light energy from the sun used to
convert solar energy into electricity, which can be used to run many applications.

Electrical connections are made in series to accomplish an output voltage and to provide a current facility
connections are made in parallel. The majority of modules use silicon or wafer based crystalline silicon but
most of these solar panels are in exible.

LED Light

In modern solar street lights, LEDs are used as lighting source and LED provide much brighter light with
lower energy consumption. The energy utilization of LED xture is lower than the HPS xture, which is
generally used in traditional street lights. Compare to the other HD lamps, and these lights do not emit light
in all directions. The directional uniqueness of the LEDs will affect the design of lamps.

The output of the single LEDs is less than the other lamps like compact uorescent and incandescent
lamps but a set of LED lights gives bright light than these two. LED lights offer many bene ts like Long life,
durability, Eco-friendly and zero UV emissions.

Rechargeable Battery

In solar LED street lights, a battery is used to store electricity from the solar panel during the day time to
provide energy in the night time. The capacity and lifetime of the battery is very important as they affect the
backup power days of the lights.

Controller

In solar LED street lights, a controller is very important as it usually decides to switch on or switch off the
lighting and charging. Some modern controllers are programmable and are used to decide a suitable
chance of lighting, dimming and charging. The Controller consists of a battery charger, a secondary power
supply, a Led lamp driver, a driver, a protection circuit and a MCU.

The controller also controls the battery from overcharging and under charging conditions. By receiving the
power from solar panels it continuously charges the battery in day time and while in evening it supplies the
battery power to set of LED street lights.

Pole

For every street light, a strong pole is necessary, especially for a solar street light, there are some
components like xtures, batteries and panels mounted on the top of the pole, and input power
consumption is 7.2 watt (LED). In solar street lights, the input operating voltage is 12V DC nominal system
voltage, and the light output at the height of 12 feet is min of 09 LUX (unit of luminance).

Interconnecting cables

The battery box, Led light and solar panel are all xed on the top of the pole and they are interconnected
with cables. The cable for this LED system includes a PV module to the controller, and from controller to the
battery and lamps. The cable size and lengths depends on the current being carried to the lights and the
height of the pole.

With assembling all the above components into a one integrated system results the complete solar LED
light system which uses sunlight energy to power the LED lamps tted on street poles.

LED Lights o ers the following Advantages:


Require fewer systems for installation.
Offers high lighting output when compare to the conventional lights.
Requires less time for installation and needs fewer systems.
Offers Long shelf life and low maintenance.
Offers pollution free ambience.
Provides provision of portability.
Comes with two year full system warranty.

Disadvantages
Initial investment is high when compared to the conventional lights.
The dust, snow or moisture can mount up on the PV panels, and thus reduces the energy production.
The rechargeable batteries need to be replaced several times.
Solar system costs reasonably high, and therefore,, the risk of theft is higher.

This is all about the solar LED Street light and its applications. We hope that you have got clear
understanding of this topic, and if you have any doubts on this topic, you can contact to us. And, don’t forget
