Abstract

The study focuses on optimizing standalone PV-battery systems for LED street lighting in Magetan Regency, Indonesia, emphasizing the importance of PV panels and lithium battery selection for energy efficiency. Minimizing energy not captured leads to effective, sustainable, and eco-friendly street lighting, reducing energy waste and promoting a greener urban environment. The optimization process involves choosing the appropriate PV panel size, battery capacity, and solar charge controller to maximize energy capture while meeting load requirements and design constraints. Solar resource assessment using PVGIS ensures system feasibility analysis. Simulation results reveal optimized PV panel peak power (200 Wp), battery capacity (1002 Wh), and a 16.67A MPPT solar charge controller. The average energy not captured is 144.21 Wh per month, showcasing the system’s efficiency. The discussion emphasizes the significance of this optimized configuration in enhancing energy capture and storage capacity, resulting in reliable and eco-friendly street lighting solutions.
