Abstract

Solar energy is a form of energy produced from the sunlight and it is a renewable while friendly to the environment. This solar energy can be converted to electrical energy through a photovoltaic process or also known as solar cells, which it is a device that made up from a semiconductor and capable to transform the sunlight to electrical energy in a form of direct current (DC). Therefore, realizing the advantages of this energy, many academicians and researchers has involved in elevating the technology of this energy and study the feasibility in daily life instead of creating various devices that use solar energy as the power sources. Thus, this report is made to study the feasibility and design a ‘Highway Dummy Signal’ as an alternative to the battery operated. This report is also contained the methodology to build the ‘Highway Dummy Signal’ based on solar energy system. Apart from that, this report has also studied the difference of total cost for the both systems and the time duration for capital returning when using solar energy system.
