Smart Lightning Solutions for Smart City with Solar Energy

Abstract

The increasing demand for sustainable urban development has led to the emergence of smart cities that leverage modern technologies to improve the quality of life, optimize resources, and reduce environmental impact. This paper proposes Solar Smart City framework that integrates Internet of Things (IoT) technology with solar energy systems to create an intelligent, energy efficient, and eco-friendly urban environment. The system utilizes smart sensors, actuators, and wireless communication to monitor and control solar power generation, distribution, and consumption in real time. Key components include smart street lighting, solar-powered public infrastructure, energy-efficient buildings, and centralized monitoring systems. Data collected from various nodes is analysed using cloud computing and machine learning algorithms to optimize energy usage, predict maintenance needs, and enhance decision-making. The integration of IoT with renewable energy not only reduces dependency on fossil fuels but also ensures resilience and sustainability in urban planning. The proposed system demonstrates a scalable and cost-effective solution to future-proof cities while contributing to global carbon reduction goals.
