INTRODUCTION Scarcity of fossil fuels has led for man to look for an alternative source of energy. Solar energy is one such in-exhaustible source which provide large amount of energy which is available to us for free. Solar energy is the radiant light and heat from the Sun that has been harnessed by humans since ancient times using a range of ever-evolving technologies. Solar radiation along with secondary solar resources such as wind, wave power, hydroelectricity and biomass accounts for most of the available renewable energy on Earth. Only a minute fraction of the available solar energy is used. The sun's heat and light provide an abundant source of energy that can be harnessed in many ways. There are a variety of technologies that have been developed to take advantage of solar energy. These include concentrating solar power systems, passive solar heating and day lighting, photovoltaic systems, solar hot water, and solar process heat and space heating and cooling. Solar power can be used in both large-scale applications and in smaller systems for the home. Businesses and industry can diversify their energy sources, improve efficiency, and save money by choosing solar technologies for heating and cooling, industrial processes, electricity and water heating. Solar power technologies, from individual home systems to large-scale concentrating solar power systems, have the potential to help meet growing energy needs and provide diversity and reliability in energy supplies. ABSTRACT Solar energy is a renewable energy which is used as a power source to charge the battery. As the main motive is to reduce cost and use of renewable energy which will help in development in Rural electrification. The issue with the existing design of solar LED street light was that the design is not application-oriented and other parameters such as boom angle, pole spacing, pole height etc. has not been considered. So in this project, we have investigated the effect of mounting angle of solar panel, panel sizing, battery capacity, pole spacing, boom angle, etc. Street lights need more energy in winter tha n on summer due to long winter nights therefore the effect of mounting angles of panel has a great impact on the cumulative energy output of the panels. Moreover, by installing sensors like motion sensor, Dusk and dawn sensor will allow operation of LED lights at different intensity levels thereby saving energy wastage. By Using correct pole spacing and optimum boom angle will help in reducing blind spot and increase the efficiency of the system. Basically Dialux-EVO and Relux software were used in lightning design to improve the system efficiency. Fabrication of pole was done according to the parameters with flexibility in the design.

VIII. CONCLUSION Design and performance improvement of a solar powered street light is itself a very complicated task as there
are various governing parameters such as the mounting angle of panel, pole spacing, LED fixture angle or boom
angle, battery sizing, pole height, LED wattage.
As a rule of thumb, solar panels should be more vertical during winter to gain most of the low winter sun,
and more tilted during summer to maximize the output.
We have used software like Dialux-Evo and Relux basically a light designing software where we have
input parameters which we observed such as Boom angle, spacing, Overhang length, which type of light to
select and wattage of light etc. In this software we have used various luminaries catalogues to check
whether or decision was right or wrong and go for further processing. Addition of dusk sensor gives an
overwhelming advantage of auto turn on/off of light.
Solar LED street lightning performs better with a solar charge controller connected to battery than with
direct connection to battery. Installation cost of solar-powered street light is bit high but the running and
maintenance cost is quite low.

IX. FUTURE SCOPE Dimmable light with proximity sensor can be used which will help in energy savings. Automation can be given
to panel orientation so that the panel will automatically change its direction with the sun to absorb more energy.
Along with LED light on pole we can add camera for security which will run on solar energy.
