Abstract
This paper presents a smarter and intelligent approach for solar powered home lighting system of Bangladesh. The aim of the paper is to build a ‘Set it and forget it’ type solar powered lighting system which is not only easier to maintain but also environment friendly. The proposed controller units provide optimum power efficiency along with longer system life- span and reduced cost per kilo watt hour in comparison with the existing solar powered lighting system. The proposed system reveals significant improvement in the use of solar powered lighting system in the rural areas of Bangladesh.
