 INTRODUCTION
Automatic Solar Street light Control System is a simple yet powerful
concept,which uses a transistor as a switch.By using this system manual
work is 100% removed.It automatically switches ON lights when sunlight
goes below the visibe region of our eyes and when it detects movement
detection otherwise switches OFF
 How It Works
●
IR detects infrared radiation in its surrounding and Light not falls
on LDR(it shows its maximum resistance voltage drops across
LDR greater than voltage of transistor,so current will go through
the collector which is used to drive next transistor and relay
gets energized) switches ON lamp
●
It automatically switches ON light when the sunlight goes below
the visible region of our eyes and movement detected

 ABOUT THE COMPONENTS
●
Transistor
It has Emitter terminal,a base terminal and a collector terminal
current flowing from the base to the emitter controls the
collector current
●
Solar Panel
Used to absorb the sun’s rays and convert them
into electricity
●
Diode
used to allow the flow of current in only
one direction
●
Zener Diode
used as voltage regulator
●
LDR(Light Dependent Resistor)
used to decrease or increase the resistance with
increasing or decreasing incident light intensity
●
Relay
provides isolation between the controller
and the device
operate the switching operations of
street lights
●
Resistor
Used to maintain flow of current
●
Battery
Used to provide backup power during power outage
●
LED(Light Emitting Diode)
Electrical current passes through a microchip,which illuminates
the tiny light source we call LEDs and the result is visible light
●
PCB Board
Used to mechanically support and electrically connect
electronic components using
u conductive path ways
●
IR Sensor
Used to measure and detects infrared radiation in its
surrounding environment
CIRCUIT DIAGRAM
 ADVANTAGES
●
Energy Savings
●
Low Cost
●
Automated Operation
●
No need of external power sources
 DISADVANTAGES
●
Higher initial investment compared to conventional street light
system
●
Risk of theft of the automatic street light system is relatively
higher since they are non wired and much expensive
 APPLICATIONS
●
Used in street light applications
●
Used in Domestic applications
 CONCLUSION
Auto Intensity Control of Street Lights are more effective in case of
cost,man power and security compared to today conventional light
control system.We can save more than 80% of energy and we can
control the loss of power.Since long warranty is given to major
components,maintanance also less and can be brought to our streets
