The electricity demand of the world has crossed 25 trillion Kwatts and increasing further continuously. The major contribution of conventional sources fulfills this demand. The fossil fuels use is continuously increasing over the years with developments of many countries. Use of conventional fuel is hazardous as it created pollution on the other hand the sources of such fuel are limited. To overcome these problems renewables technology is very effective and the only alternative. Renewable technology is going to through modifications for improvements in performance with considerations of various alternate technologies. Authors have designed and implemented the solar based streetlight. The study carried out to understand the potential of solar energy and results are presented in this paper.
