Unfortunately, some of the technological inventions not only brings advantages, but also disadvantages. One of the disadvantages is the pollution of environment. Therefore, to prevent the pollution from getting worse, environmental-friendly aspect is suggested to be included in new inventions nowadays. Thanks to the invention of solar panel, solar energy is able to become a renewable energy source that can be applied to various applications. Considering the increase of electricity consumption every year in Malaysia, solar powered street lighting system is proposed in order to reduce the burning of fossil fuels to generate electricity, hence reducing air pollution. The street lighting system will consist of automated switching mechanism to further reduce the electricity consumption of street lights. The system will also be able to provide energy measurement to determine the efficiency of street lights. Some security features provided by selected wireless communication protocol will also be implemented to secure the system. © 2014 IEEE. date: 2014 publisher: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84938792261&doi=10.1109%2fICCOINS.2014.6868398&partnerID=40&md5=fd27d9938f299e2c7a57490405ddbc0c id_number: 10.1109/ICCOINS.2014.6868398 full_text_status: none publication: 2014 International Conference on Computer and Information Sciences, ICCOINS 2014 - A Conference of World Engineering, Science and Technology Congress, ESTCON 2014 - Proceedings refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781479943913 citation: Ramachandran, T. and Ponnusamy, V. and Jung, L.T. and Hudaya, A.
