Abstract
The primary objectives of this project are centered around reducing power consumption in urban areas by implementing a solar-powered smart streetlight system. The system employs an ESP8266 as its main controller and incorporates advanced features to enhance energy efficiency. Specifically, streetlights are designed to operate at high intensity only when motion is detected, dimming in the absence of people or vehicle movements. By harnessing solar energy during the day and storing it in efficient battery systems, smart streetlights ensure nighttime operation with minimal power usage. This approach contrasts with traditional streetlight systems that consume power throughout the entire night. Moreover, the integration of a Light Dependent Resistor ensures that the smart streetlights remain inactive during daylight hours, further conserving energy. Activation occurs when the Light Dependent Resistor detects insufficient sunlight, coupled with motion detection by an Infrared Sensor. The combination of these technologies not only optimizes power utilization but also contributes to a sustainable urban future. This innovative project offers a promising solution for reducing energy consumption in public lighting systems, promoting environmental consciousness and efficient resource utilization in urban settings.
