Project Idea:
This project focuses on an energy-efficient LED-based solar street lighting system with automatic intensity control. It uses solar panels to charge batteries during the day and powers the street lights at night. A microcontroller (8051) regulates light intensity using PWM based on traffic density during nighttime hours. It switches lights ON at dusk and OFF at dawn automatically.
Components:
8051 Microcontroller
Crystal Oscillator
Resistors, Capacitors
Diodes, Transistors
Cables and Connectors
ICs and IC Sockets
LEDs
Transformer/Adapter
Push Buttons and Switches
PCB and Breadboards
Battery
Solar Panel
Project Features:
