Abstract
Lighting plays a significant role in human lives, as it assists humans with better vision. Streetlights are essential for both safety and visibility at night. Like any electrical component, they consume energy and need to be switched on/off every day. It is essential to consider the optimal time for the lights to be switched on/off, the optimal control equipment and how to increase their efficiency. Various components are suitable for this task, but it is imperative to choose components that will deliver the desired results at minimal cost. This paper investigates controlling the street lights from one controller that uses Solar PV energy stored in a battery and the grid as a backup source. The source provided can supply power to all three streetlights from one supply instead of multiple power supplies and controllers. Furthermore, it is also possible to dim the street lights.
