ABSTRACT solar energy and solar panel is an clean energy and prospective resource which can provide daily demand energy to contribute safe and Eco friend energy. The solar panel is made up of photovoltaic cell which is a specialised semiconductor diode that directly convert sunlight rays into electricity (Dc) using photovoltaic effect. The construction of the solar panel is very complex because of there are so many cells in one line of panel. The solar panel is used in various sector like industrial, commercial and residential. The main advantage of solar energy generation is it is pollution free in this solar energy generation there is no any combustion of coal. In this article we have discussed how we can run any application on solar panel like street light, water pumps, used in agriculture for irrigation and etc. In this article, we have reviewed about the solar energy from sunlight and discussed about their future trends and aspects.
Keywords: – Renewable energy, solar street light, photovoltaic cell, solar panel efficiency, green technology, smart grid integration, hybrid energy systems

INTRODUCTION
The rapid depletion of fossil fuels, which accounts for nearly 80% of global energy
consumption, demands an urgent need for researched aimed at finding sustainable and renewable energy alternatives. One of the alternative energy sources that can be used in
industrial and commercial energy systems sector The solar energy can provide Eco-friendly, free, economical solutions. This is unlimited energy source which is available at no cost . In this project named as solar street light installation in our parking area, bsiet we have runed 4 LED panels of 30 watts with the help of solar panel rating of 150 watt and 18volts we
required various components like Led, solar panel, battery, pole, LDR, service wire etc. The main objective of this project to promote the use of solar based application, to promote use of green energy, to promote pollution free energy and does not needed to grid connection A solar panel is a set of solar photovoltaic modules electrically connected and mounted on a supporting structure. The main advantage of solar panel is to reduce electricity bill, low
maintenance cost, longer life span , useful in remote areas, silent operation etc .There are 3 types of solar panel first one is Monocrystalline solar panels second one is polycrystalline solar panels Third one is thin-film solar panels the monocrystalline panels is mainly used in homes with limited space the polycrystalline panels are Budget friendly installations and the thin-film are best for large scale or flexible applications etc .
PROPOSED SYSTEM
The proposed system is solar street light installation in our parking area. The electricity is generated from solar panels then it is going to store in battery and then when there is no
sunlight the timer switch will sense and give the signal to on the LED to on it. The Timer switch is an electrical device used to automatically turn device on or off at a present time. It turns device on/off without any manual operation.
The main components used in the system
-
Solar panel
-
Street light poll
-
Battery
-
LED
-
Timer switch
-
Service wire
-
Inverter
-
GI wire and bobins
WORKING METHODOLOGY
The working methodology of the proposed system follows several steps .
-
First of all we bring 2 polls and then we digged some space to fix the poll in it to remain stable and strong w
-
Then we mounted the solar panel on the poll of the rating of 150watts and 18volts
-
Then we mounted the battery bracket to keep battery on it the rating of the battery is 60ampere
-
Then we mounted the 4 LED bracket two two on each poll
-
Then we connected Timer switch to battery . It saves energy by preventing unnecessary power usage by operating devices only when needed .
-
Then we connected the service wire from battery 2 terminal to the LEDS
After all this process the main process starts the solar panel starts generating the electricity then it go through the wires and stores in the battery and then the battery is charged when there is no sunlight the Timer switch will sense it and on the all LED panel .
