Smart Street Lights

Auroville Consulting has designed and is in charge of implementing the installation of 87 smart street lights along the Crown road from the Farewell Centre to the Mahalakshmi Home, from the Visitors Centre to Savitri Bhavan and from the Matrimandir Visitors’ Gate to Solar Kitchen Roundabout. The funds have been made available from the 50th anniversary grant. The street light clusters will be connected to a solar PV system (grid-interactive plus battery storage) which is installed in a public building identified along the stretch. A similar pilot was implemented last year from the Solar Kitchen roundabout to the Vikas Radial crossing, with the PV system in the Auroville Library building.
