This paper proposes energy efficient and energy free system for street lighting system. As there is no energy demand from grid hence we use solar panel for street lighting purpose. A standalone solar street LED light system is proposed consisting PV panel, battery, LED lamp, sensing and controlling device. The main objective is to design energy efficient LED street light for energy conservation in existing street lights. The smart streetlight is controlled on the basis of traffic on road at night time. The system is programmed so that it can automatically turn off during the hours of daylight and only operate during the night. In most of the cases street lights remain switched ON even during day time. This is a total of waste of electricity, while our area is facing lack of electricity. Another issue is the conventional street lamp i.e. Sodium vapour, Incandescent, Fluorescent lamps use more power as compared to the Led Lights. Streetlights can be operated at no working cost by using automatic control and self-powered LED street light.
