Abstract

Electricity has made a great impact on our world since it was discovered. Electricity can come from many sources, such as thermal energy, kinetic energy, solar energy, and more by energy conversion. Energy conversion is the process of changing one form of energy to another form of energy.   

The main source of electricity as of now is coal, an example of nonrenewable energy. Solar energy, the primary source of renewable energy on the earth, is considered a better choice as a source of electricity because, as stated, it is renewable. Solar energy is utilised for streetlights, but most still run on electric energy.

The main duties, challenges, and issues are listed. The functioning concepts are explained in detail. Throughout the project, checkpoints are also established. The prototype used experimental design to formulate and end with a functional project. Experimental design is defined as a method of research in the social sciences in which a controlled experiment factor is subjected to special treatment for comparison with a factor kept constant to develop a solar–panel–based scheduling for street lighting with microcontroller and sensor device using Arduino.
