12W SOLAR STREET LIGHT
Solar light sensing system
The system is based on the combination of two approaches to precisely track the sunlight: first, using multiple LDRs (light-dependent resistors) as photo sensors to track the position of the sun by balancing the resistivity using a proportional integral deprival (PID) controller, and the second approach using the time-based control for cloudy days when sunlight is diffused, getting the time GPS coordinates and time to calculate the accurate position of the sun by determining the azimuth and altitude angle.

Sri Lanka Street Solar Panel solar Power Generation
The Ministry of Power and State Minister of Solar, Wind and Hydro Power Generation Projects Development has launched a community based power generation project titled 'Soorya Bala Sangramaya' (Battle for Solar Energy) in collaboration with Sri Lanka Sustainable Energy Authority (SLSEA), Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) and Lanka Electricity Company (Private) Limited (LECO) to promote the setting up of small solar power plants on the rooftops of households, religious places, hotels, commercial establishments and industries.

Glass solar Power Station Cooperation Project
The project, applied for and led by Associate Researcher Zhang Chuncheng of IEECAS as the Chief Scientist, has brought together top scientific research institutions from countries such as the United States' NREL, Germany's DLR, Spain's CIEMAT, and France's CSP Energies, as well as leading domestic enterprises such as Northwest Electric Power Design Institute Co., LTD, of China Power Engineering Consulting Group and Zhejiang KeSheng Technology Co., Ltd., demonstrating a high level of international cooperation.

The cost of solar panels
While the upfront costs of solar panels have dropped by over 70% in the past decade, a comprehensive lifecycle analysis includes several key components: initial purchase and installation ($15,000-$25,000 for an average home system), ongoing maintenance (roughly $300-500 annually), inverter replacement (typically needed once during the system’s lifetime), and eventual decommissioning costs.
