Development of a comprehensive model for the design of
Furthermore, the case study has validated the proposed model by providing an optimal solar street lighting solution, ensuring energy autonomy and compliance with lighting
The integration of photovoltaic (PV) technology into urban landscapes is key to meeting rising energy demands while reducing environmental impacts. Innovations in high-efficiency solar cells, transparent PVs, flexible materials, and BIPV systems are enabling solar integration into city infrastructure.
Solar lighting offers a better solution, especially for urban areas looking to become more sustainable. First, solar lighting significantly reduces energy consumption. Since each solar light generates its power from sunlight, it doesn't draw electricity from the city's grid.
The authors of the presented research conclude that urban photovoltaic public lighting installations are technically, economically, and socially viable by virtue of the results obtained.
The potential of solar energy technologies in urban environments is discussed, from the perspective of supporting the transition to sustainable, energy-efficient cities while addressing technical, economic, and policy challenges.
