Abstract: Global interest in controlling energy resources has dramatically increased due to many reasons. We cannot continue to depend on fossil fuels for our requirements. This is where solar energy comes into picture. The advantages of using solar energy are the cost reduction of installation in the case of non availability of electric grid and contribution to the protection of the environments as solar energy is a clean and renewable energy source. This research focuses on the employment of a solar lighting system which can make a 3 watt lamp glow.
