This paper proposes the design and implementation of a technologically advanced, cost effective and smartLED street light with the use of MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracking)algorithm, and the latest microcontrollerLPC800 max board. The basic buildingblocks for the street light design include microcontroller of the ARM family,battery for power supply and MPPT boostconverter. All the design configurations have been made with the LPC800board which has ARM cortex M0+ controller. The MPPT algorithm is used to extract maximum power from the solarpanels.The MPPT boost converter circuit will boost the voltage and store it in the battery which will be consumed by thepower LED bank at night. I2C bus has been configured for the communication betweenmicrocontroller and ADC forobtaining voltage and current samples which is primary need for designing MPPT. RTC is implemented for automaticswitching on and off the street lights. Microcontroller keeps monitoring the overall performance of the system andfeedback mechanism is also introduced to prevent the battery from getting overcharged.
