Abstract

The prevalence of robberies, thefts, and accidents has led to an increasing number of issues in the hamlet of Arenas in Arayat, Pampanga. The installation of solar lighting is one potential answer to these issues. Given the numerous advantages involved, installing solar-powered streetlights is the most advantageous course of action. For their study, the researchers will combine solar panels with an 8-ampere street light and a 100-watt LED. There will be sixty solar-powered lightings set at intervals of fifty meters along a three-kilometer road length. In barrio Arenas, Arayat, Pampanga, a solar street light is being proposed as a result of this research. By manually computing the proper sizes for the wires, breakers, and electrodes, solar streetlights for Arenas' streets can be installed. After calculating the total daily wattage of the streetlights, multiply that figure by 1.3 to account for system energy loss. Thus, the total daily watt-hours that the panels must produce were calculated. The researchers visited the location while taking note of important information including the criteria governing road length and width. In order to locate the poles, road curbs were also taken into account. For the calculated size of PV panels and batteries, the proponents also took into account equipment that was readily accessible on the market. To account for energy wasted in the system, multiply the total daily watt-hours of the street lights by 1.3. Thus, the total daily watt-hours that the panels must produce were calculated. W-hr required from the modules is equal to W-hr divided by 1.3. Divide the total Watt-hours per day needed from the PV modules by 3.43 to get the total Watt-peak rating needed for the PV panels needed to operate the street light. Divide the required Watt-peak rating for PV modules by the rated output Watt-peak of the PV modules that are currently on the market. Simply round up to the next greatest whole number if the solution had any fractional components. PV systems are advised to utilize deep cycle batteries. Specifically made to be rapidly recharged after being quickly discharged, or to cycle through charges and discharges repeatedly every day for years. The steps below were used to determine the battery size: To account for battery loss, divide the daily watt-hour usage by 0.85. 0.6 times the response from the preceding stage is the depth of discharge. Divided by the nominal battery voltage, the response from the previous step Add the number of autonomy days, or the number of days the system needs to run without PV panel electricity, to the result from the previous step. This allowed the deep cycle battery to reach the requisite ampere-hour capacity. The advocates sought advice from Alpha Solar Incorporated regarding the system's total cost. Data from polycrystalline solar panels, solar LED floodlights, brackets, poles, and labor/installation costs were surveyed. In order to install the solar PV road lights in their ultimate location, CAD tools like AutoCAD will be used.
