EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
|
About Project |

|
Title of the proposed project |
Project proposal for installing street solar lights in 15 villages of District-Jhansi (U.P.) |
||
|
Proposed project activities |
The solar-powered led street lights activate from dusk to dawn. The LED street light automatically turns ON after the dusk and turns off after the dawn. The designing of the entire system includes: Solar panels, LED light, Rechargeable battery, Controller, Pole, and Interconnecting cables. During sunny days, they use solar panels to convert solar energy into electricity, and then store the electricity in batteries. At night, the electricity in the battery has been released to power the solar street lights. Solar technology's recent prevalence has seen both large organizations and individual consumers choose to integrate solar power into commercial facilities and homes nearly everywhere. Solar power's renewable, eco-friendly supply of energy isn't the only factor to consider when deciding to transition your household to a solar system, though. While the best solar companies simplify the solar panel installation process, |

Objectives of the proposed project |
|
||
|
Purpose of Solar Light |
It is a renewable energy source that does not emit greenhouse gases. In this way, it also plays a role in preventing the greenhouse effect. Village solar street light provides cheap and sustainable energy to rural communities, improving their lives. It requires no heavy wires or machinery to install. Solar-powered household lighting can replace other light sources like candles or kerosene lamps. Solar lamps have a lower operating cost than kerosene lamps because renewable energy from the sun is free, unlike fuel. In addition, solar lamps produce no indoor air pollution unlike kerosene lamps.

What is solar energy
Until the sun exists, solar energy is infinite and is available in abundant quantities to mankind to satisfy all global energy needs. Today with the increasing speed of improvements in technology and innovations, the climate crisis can be solved with renewable sources like solar, nuclear, wind, biomass, etc. These eco-friendly and sustainable sources can replace decreasing fossil fuels like wood, petrol, crude oil, diesel, coal, etc. These renewable sources can power the whole planet, and underdeveloped countries can access electricity and heat at much lower costs. There are many devices and gadgets powered by solar energy like solar heaters, solar cookers, solar cells, solar batteries, solar calculators, solar watches, solar pumps for agricultural purposes, and many more. Even though currently, solar energy is used by a relatively small percentage of the population, it will become the primary source in the future that can be looked upon by coming generations.
Home lighting System is powered by solar energy using solar cells that convert solar energy (sunlight) directly to electricity. The electricity is stored in batteries and used for the purpose of lighting whenever required. These systems are useful in non-electrified rural areas and as reliable emergency lighting system for important domestic, commercial and industrial applications. The SPV systems have found important application in the dairy industry for lighting milk collection/ chilling centers mostly located in rural areas.
Solar Street Light system is designed for outdoor application in un-electrified remote rural areas. This system is an ideal application for campus and village street lighting. The system is provided with battery storage backup sufficient to operate the light for 10-11 hours daily.
The system is provided with automatic ON/OFF time switch for dusk to down operation and overcharge I deep discharge prevention cut-off with LED indicators.
In entire world there are more than 300 million of street lights, which emits 100 million tons of carbon dioxide per year. 40% of energy is wasted which costs around 20 billion dollars. Therefore for economical operation of street lights and reduction of carbon footprints, High efficient LED luminaries with smart control of illumination level are the demand and need of time.
Features
Most solar lights turn on and turn off automatically by sensing outdoor light using solar panel voltage. Solar streetlights are designed to work throughout the night. Many can stay lit for more than one night if the sun is not in the sky for an extended period of time. Older models included lamps that were not fluorescent or LED. Solar lights installed in windy regions are generally equipped with flat panels to better cope with the winds.
Modern designs use wireless technology and fuzzy control theory for battery management. The street lights using this technology can operate as a network with each light having the capability of performing the turning on and off of the network. Solar street lights are designed to absorb energy during the day. This energy is used by the off-grid system to power LED lighting during the night. The main function of the solar panels is to convert sunlight into electrical energy through photovoltaic solar cells.
Components
Solar street lights consist of four main parts:
Solar Panel
The solar panel is one of the most important parts of a solar street light, as the solar panel can convert solar energy into electricity that the lamps can use. There are two types of solar panels commonly used in solar street lights: mono cry stalling and polycrystalline. The conversion rate of mono-crystalline solar panels is much higher than their poly-crystalline counterparts. Solar panels also vary in wattage systems.
Lighting Fixture
LEDs are usually used as the primary lighting source of modern solar street lights, as the LED will provide much higher luminosity with lower energy consumption. The energy consumption of an LED fixture is at least 50% lower than the HPS fixture counterpart which is widely used as the lighting source in traditional street lights. A lack of warm-up time in LEDs also allows for use of motion detectors for additional efficiency gains.
Rechargeable Battery
Batteries will store the electricity generated by the solar panel during the day and provide energy to the fixture during the night. The life cycle of the battery is very important to the lifetime of the light and the capacity of the battery will affect the backup days of the lights. There are two types of batteries commonly used in solar-powered street lights- gel cell deep cycle batteries as well as lead acid batteries. Lithium-ion batteries are also popular due to their compact size.
Pole
Strong poles are necessary to all street lights, especially to solar street lights as there are often components mounted on the top of the pole: fixtures, panels and sometimes batteries. However, in some newer designs, the PV panels and all electronics are integrated in the pole itself. Wind resistance is also a factor.
In addition, accessories do exist for these types of poles, such as a foundation cage and battery box.
Type
Each street light can have its own photo voltaic panel, independent of other street lights. Alternately, a number of panels can be installed as a central power source on a separate location and supply power to a number of street lights.
All-in-one type solar street lights are gaining popularity due to their compact design which incorporates all of the parts necessary in a compact manner including the battery.
The city of Las Vegas, Nevada was the first city in the world that tested new Planet Solar Street lights which are coupled with kinetic tiles that produce electricity when people walk over them.
Advantages
Solar street lights are independent of the utility grid. Hence, the operation costs are minimized.
- Solar street lights require much less maintenance compared to conventional street
lights.
- Since external wires are eliminated, risk of accidents is minimized.
- Electricity produced from solar panels is non-palliative.
- Separate parts of a solar panel system can easily be transported.
- Energy costs can be saved.
Disadvantages
- Initial investment is higher compared to conventional street lights.
- Risk of theft is higher as equipment costs are comparatively higher.
- Snow or dust, combined with moisture can accumulate on horizontal PV-panels and
reduce or even stop energy production.
- Rechargeable batteries will need to be replaced several times over the lifetime
of the fixtures adding to the total lifetime cost of the light.
- The charge and discharge cycles of the battery are also very important considering
the overall cost of the project.
Market Potential
The proposed smart solar LED streetlight can be operated free of cost with sufficient solar charging. The system can be made more reliable by using auto changeover technique; in which streetlight is automatically switched to utility supply if there is insufficient charge in battery storage.
The battery starts charging in daytime via PV solar panel. With the help of light sensor (LOR), in dusk, streetlight automatically turns on with 30% of intensity and battery starts discharging. If there is any movement of vehicle or person then intensity of light will increase from 30% to 100% for preset time period. After this preset delay intensity will gradually reduce to 30%. In-between this if any movement is detected then again intensity will increase to its maximum. This ensures optimum lighting as well as.

In-between this if any movement is detected then again intensity will increase to its maximum. This ensures optimum lighting as well as energy saving. With this automation technique, capacity (Ah) of battery required is much less a compared to conventional solar LED streetlight. The Adriano microcontroller receives command signal from LOR light sensor, motion sensor and charge controller and controls streetlight according to program loaded into it.
The demand of Solar Light Systems is day by day increasing due to it works on consumption of natural source of energy i.e. sun light. Use of electric power in decreasing and people are shifting towards use of solar power. Many subsidies are also being given by Indian Government on use of Solar Power.
Working of Proposed System
- During day time solar panel produces electricity and it stored in the battery.
- In dusk to dawn time light sensor gives command to arguing controller. As per program it executes command and turns LED ON to 30% of max intensity when there is no motion below streetlight.
- If any person or vehicle passes nearby streetlight, motion sensor activates and gives command to arduino to increase brightness to 100%.
- After preset time and if there is no movement detected, intensity reduces gradually to 30%.
- At the time of morning LOR will send command to arduino and hence street light will turn OFF.
- Normally streetlight will operate from electricity stored in the battery.
- If battery is not charged sufficiently due to cloudy weather condition then streetlight will automatically switch to utility supply.
Power Calculation
Power consumption per month for existing SV, LED and Smart solar LED Street light Existing SV lamp:
(150W)*(l2Hrs) *(30days) =54 kWhr
2- Ordinary LED lamp:
(30W)*(12Hrs) *(30days) =10.8 kWhr
3-LED lamp with automatic intensity control: ((30W*6Hrs) + (10W*6Hrs)) *(30days) = 7.2kWhr
The streetlight with solar PV panel does not consumes any power from utility supply, therefore operates free of cost within provided backup from battery.

Solar Street Lighting
Solar street lighting, unlike traditional street lighting, has not been around for many years. These street lights are not connected to the electrical power grid:
The solar light will produce its own energy from the sun (photovoltaic panel) and store the energy in a battery until the light turns on once it is dark enough.
There are a few different ways that solar lighting can be used off grid. One way the solar can be connected through a micro grid which essentially a mini power grid used specifically for the lights; another way is that each street light can be a stand-alone system.
Solar Photovoltaic Array (PV) Units Solar photovoltaic devices generate electricity directly from sunlight though an electronic process that occurs in certain types of material called semiconductors. The material frees the electrons when photons (particles of sunlight) hit the material; solar energy can be induced to travel though electrical circuits where it is sent out to power an electrical device or send electricity to the grid.
Solar cells today are mostly made from either crystalline silicon or thin-filmed semiconductor material. Silicon is pricey, but research has shown that it is very efficient at converting sunlight to electricity.
Sometimes thin-film materials are used as these materials are less expensive. The downside is that these materials are not as efficient as silicon and require more area of material to generate electricity.
A solar panel is much like the micro PV flexible sheets as it consists of many small units called PV cells.

A solar panel is much like the micro PV flexible sheets as it consists of many small units called PV cells. These cells are linked together and allow photons to knock electrons free from atoms; this generates a flow of electricity.
Off-grid system has batteries and there is a battery meter which indicates much energy is having left in the batteries. The stages of off-grid systems are:
- The sun light hits the PV cells where the electrons are knocked loose
- This second stage is where it is a little different than on-grid. Instead of going straight to the inverter, the electricity will go through a charge control unit. The charge controller will prevent over charging the batteries as mentioned in the third stage.
- The third stage is where the electricity is sent to the batteries from the charge controller. The batteries will charge until full. The energy will be stored until it is need during periods of no sunlight or when the user is using more energy than what is generated.
- In the fourth stage, the electricity will either be sent out as direct current to DC appliances or to an inverter where the DC will be converted to AC for the AC appliances.
- In the home, there is a battery meter indicating much battery charge remains. If the indicator light is green, the stored electricity is okay. A yellow light indicates the batteries are getting low. A red light indicates the system needs to be shut off to let the batteries recharge or the batteries can damaged.
