SOLAR POWERED AUTOMATIC STREET LIGHT

CONTROL SYSTEM

Objective:
The main objective of this project is to automate the street light system depending
upon the intensity of the environment light intensity by using the LDR sensor. The total
system is powered with solar.

Scope:
The project can be applied to all streets light where you need to automatically
switch on and switch off the lamp according to light intensity. It will also save power as it
automatically switches off the light.

Methodology:
This project is designed by following blocks,
Power Supply
Arduino UNO
Relay
Lighting system

The system consists of power supply unit, lighting system, LDR (light dependent
resistor), comparator and a relay. The LDR is a light detecting resistor, which output
voltage varies depends on the environmental light, it is connected with Arduino UNO for
compare the reference value and input value, when the sun light is low, the LDR sends
low voltage to the Arduino UNO, so the reference voltage and LDR output voltage are
not matched with each other, then the Arduino UNO triggers a high pulse from its output
pin, this is given to the relay driver circuit for ON the street light. If the environmental
light is in normal power the LDR output voltage will be equal to the reference value then
the Arduino UNO triggers a low pulse to the relay driver circuit, so the street light will
switch OFF by relay.
APPLICATIONS:
It is used in large industries.
Used in apartments and hospitals.

ADVANTAGES:
No manual work.
Saves power.
