Design and development of High MAST Solar Street Light

Mechanical Engineering

In recent years there have been a number of failures of traffic light poles and other signage, indicating that the existing design rules and fabrication methods are not adequate in addressing fatigue and fracture issues associated with the connection of MAST arms to the vertical poles and the connection of the poles to the foundations of traffic light pole. The strategic overall objective of the proposed research is to develop an efficient and cost effective solar energy system for electrical energy production that uses direct solar radiation as the primary energy source. In order to achieve these objectives we are presenting an innovative concept of Photovoltaic (PV) solar system which is based on a combination of the latest developments in photovoltaic technology, a product that is able to produce electricity.
