INTRODUCTION
Since the discovery of electrical energy for illumination, it is evident that human interaction is required to operate the switch, either off when not in use or ONM when needed. Because of this reason, as well as a lack of electricity supply, there has been a pressing need to develop a highly efficient and effective method of generating electricity for the purpose of illumination known as solar energy (Craig, 2016). According to Oke, Adigun, and Fenwa (2017), this entails the usage of a module known as a solar panel, which receives energy from the sun and converts it to electricity. The importance of light to all humans cannot be overstated; even when the world was formed, it was lighted with light, making it a living space. This implies that without light, the entire planet is in darkness, and as a result, living things, whether plants, animals, or humans, cannot survive. When it comes to illumination, it may come from two main sources: natural or electrical. The former originates from the Creator (God), while the latter is the consequence of humans properly using our natural resources. Because there is a need for illumination, electric energy generation is used to tackle the challenges that people have throughout the day, particularly at night when there is complete darkness everywhere.
Basically, this project focused on the design and construction of a solar operated automatic streetlight. This is a commercial quality light that can easily illuminate the streets and other areas of choice giving the potential of many years of trustworthy use with a minimum of maintenance required.
The four major components needed to build construct a solar powered streetlight are: The solar panel, high efficiency d.c. Temperature, charge controller and a battery. The solar panel has its major task to convert the sun’s energy into electricity, precisely D.C voltage. The basic circuitry on solar powered streetlights consists essentially of a automatic battery charger, fed by the solar panel and a lighting controller automated for dusk to down operation. The charge controller projects the battery from over-charging, maximizes the charging voltage and current output of the solar panel.
To achieve the automatic operation of the streetlight, a photocell or a time, which senses the period of darkness and lightness, is used to trigger. The type of battery employed here is a maintenance free one, which is capable of supplying few days of back up power in case of bad weather or charger failure. Also the lamp used in this project work is a D.C operated lamp.
