Analysis of Solar Panel Based Public Street Lighting Installations

Abstract

Public Street Lighting is one of the public facilities that requires energy, so to meet these energy needs it is appropriate to utilize New Renewable Energy, Apart from supporting government programs, it will also minimize the use of conventional electricity in accordance with ESDM regulation Number 14 of 2012 concerning Energy Management. Public Street Lighting is a public lighting installation and is usually installed on road medians, bridges, toll roads, arteries and collectors and certain places such as parks and other public places so as to provide a sense of security and comfort to the public when traveling/activities at night. To obtain effective and efficient Public Street Lighting, good and correct planning is required, including selecting the type of lights to be used. Calculating the need for solar panels, pole height and distance from one pole to the next is part of planning Solar Panel-based Public Street Lighting.
