Automated Roadlights Powered by Solar Energy

A non-renewable energy source is coal. In India, coal accounts for around 44% of all energy production, making it a significant energy source that must be protected. The Indian government also takes a number of measures to save coal. After China, India is the second-largest user of coal. Toxic gases such carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and carbon monoxide are released when coal is burned. It is one of the main causes of our transition to renewable energy sources including solar, wind, and tidal power. A significant portion of the overall energy used in metropolitan areas is used by highway lighting. Highway lighting control has always been done manually, which takes time. A completely autonomous system is created by switching out conventional high in sodium light with LEDs in order to solve this problem. The main objective of this project is to present the idea of a smart solar roadway lighting system that reduces electricity waste and maximizes energy conservation. There is no need for electrical energy from the electrical grid since we are utilizing solar energy. Along with decreasing the load on the grid, we are also using less coal and lowering the quantity of harmful gases that are produced when coal is burned. Additionally, in the age of technological innovation, we are automated the system by employing smart sensors, which, when they detect a passing car, raise the LED lights' intensity and reduce them when the vehicle is stationary. This ensures that there are no manual mistakes in the project.
