DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF SMART SOLAR ENERGY OPTIMIZATION SYSTEM

Abstract

The increasing demand for reliable and sustainable energy solutions has led to the development of a Smart Solar Energy Optimization System designed to efficiently generate, store, and utilize solar power for classroom applications. The system uses photovoltaic panels to convert solar energy into electrical energy, which is stored in a 12 V, 200 Ah battery and supplied to AC loads through a 1450 W inverter, ensuring optimal energy utilization while reducing dependence on conventional grid electricity. A 600 W solar panel array was implemented, and experimental results demonstrated that the system successfully powered 6 fans and 5 tube lights simultaneously, with the inverter indicating approximately 80% load utilization, confirming efficient real-time performance. The integrated battery storage provides a stable and uninterrupted power supply even during low sunlight conditions, making the system a cost-effective, eco-friendly, and scalable solution for small-scale energy requirements in educational institutions while supporting sustainable development and clean energy initiatives.
