Solar-powered parking area lighting was developed as a solution to improve energy efficiency and automated lighting management. The system is designed to control lamp operation based on ambient lighting conditions while providing local (on-site) energy monitoring information through a display. Based on the results of solar panel output testing, the energy source was shown to be capable of supplying sufficient power to support the lighting system operation. Furthermore, the light sensor test results indicate that the BH1750 sensor readings exhibit trends consistent with those of a lux meter, making it reliable for detecting bright and dark conditions. In addition, energy monitoring tests using the PZEM-017 sensor demonstrate that the system is able to consistently monitor changes in voltage, current, and power while the battery supplies the lamp load. These results confirm that the developed solar-powered parking area lighting system operates properly and meets the intended design objectives.
