A standalone solar photovoltaic street lighting system (SLS) is an outdoor lighting unit used for
illuminating a street or an open area. The Solar Street Lighting System consists of solar
photovoltaic (SPV) module, a luminaire, storage battery, control electronics, inter-connecting
wires/cables, module mounting pole including hardware and battery box. The luminaire is
based on White Light Emitting Diode (W-LED), a solid state device which emits light when
electric current passes through it. The luminaire is mounted on the pole at a suitable angle to
maximize illumination on the ground. The PV module is placed at the top of the pole at an angle
facing south so that it receives solar radiation throughout the day, without any shadow falling
on it. A battery is placed in a box attached to the pole.
Electricity generated by the PV module charges the battery during the day time which powers
the luminaire from dusk to dawn. The system lights at dusk and switches off at dawn
automatically.A standalone solar photovoltaic street lighting system (SLS) is an outdoor lighting unit used for
