Sun Charge: Transforming Solar Streetlights into EV Power Hubs

Abstract

The fundamental objective of this project is to harvest excess energy generated by solar-powered streetlights. It accomplishes this by installing solar panels on existing streetlights and implementing a centralized control system. Excess energy is intelligently redirected to a shared battery, which is then used to power electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. The project emphasizes sustainable energy methods, urban expansion, and transportation electrification. It has numerous benefits, including the efficient use of renewable energy, enhanced urban sustainability, cost-efficiency, and a substantial decrease in greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, the project is scalable, with a chance to expand the network of EV charging infrastructure, making it a crucial part of the moving forward global transition to sustainable energy solutions.
