Smart Standalone PV-Based Street Lighting for Rural Areas in Wonogiri Regency

Article Preview

Abstract:

Solar energy is an abundant and free source of sustainable energy. The objective of this project was to construct and examine smart, standalone photovoltaic (PV) street lighting in Kepyar Village, a rural community located in Wonogiri Regency, Central Java. The intelligent, standalone PV-based lighting system consisted of a 5-meter streetlight pole outfitted with a 60 Wp monocrystalline solar panel system and an Internet of Things (IoT) system. In 2024, measurements were taken in August and September. The system was able to capture energy from sunlight from 6 a.m. until 5 p.m. The average amount of daily energy stored was 144 and 148 Wh, respectively, allowing it to power the street lights for around 7 hours. The findings also revealed that installing standalone PV-based street lighting can provide significant community advantages.
