As we know, energy resources are limited and consumption of energy has been increased tremendously.Hence, to meet the increasing energy demand, now we are trending towards the use of renewable energy sources. However, for proper utilization of available energy, we need to focus more on reducing wastage of electricity.In most areas, generally, the control of street lights is done manually. In this system, a person switches on these street lights in the evening and switches them off in the morning. However, the manual control method has some disadvantages, viz. If a person forgets to turn on the street lights in the evening, there is a high chance of an accident, and if the street lights are not turned off in the morning, electricity is unnecessarily wasted. Besides, if no one passes on the road at night, electricity is wasted.By virtue of this, we have designed “Solar Powered Smart Street Light Control System” with the aim of saving electricity, using renewable energy sources and eliminating manpower. This paper deal with the “Solar Powered Smart Street Light Control system” demonstrates the operation of automatic street light control using renewable (solar) energy source by reducing the wastage of electric energy.
