This project represents generating electricity using solar plate. This project was design to avoid excessive usage of electricity that already exist during the day and store generated electricity in a battery to be used during night and emergency. The flow of the project can be divided into two parts which is energy harvesting and light up the LED during the night. In energy harvesting, solar plate is used to generate electricity. From the solar plate, it can generate up to 21V and need to be regulating the voltage to 13.5V- 13.8V, and then charging the battery. To light up the LED, the voltage stored in the battery is used and by using PIR sensor, it can sense the human presence. Then, a timer is used to delay the duration of the LED.
