Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging technology that efficiently and effectively improves our activities of daily living via the integration of physical objects, sensors, and devices via the Internet for synchronised communication for smart decision-making applications. It reduces the cost of living by automating manual processes. IoT is adapted into various technologies including enabling smart streetlight systems. As streetlight consumes a huge amount of energy, an alternative solution is usually needed to optimise power consumption, such as linking to renewable energy sources. Hence, an adaptation of solar panels for a sustainable supply of electricity in smart streetlights is an ideal solution. Solar panels naturally generate electricity with sunlight. Photovoltaic cells are used in these systems, which convert sunlight into electricity. Moreover, smart streetlights usually use light-emitting diodes (LED) for illumination, as these consume much less power compared to traditional light bulbs. IoT-based smart solar streetlight system technology is usually paired with various additional technologies to provide additional applications for users. Hence, this chapter reviews various studies conducted on IoT-based smart solar streetlight systems and provides insights into the challenges and prospects faced with this current technology, especially regarding the improvement of human factors and ergonomics in outdoor environments. © 2026 selection and editorial matter, Waldemar Karwowski and Beata Mrugalska; individual chapters, the contributors.
