Electricity wastage in classrooms is a common issue in schools, when electrical appliances such as fans are left running in class when the students go for recess or library. This project, titled Smart Solar Classroom Energy Saver, aims to overcome this problem by developing a sustainable solution.

The system utilizes an ultrasonic motion sensor and an Arduino microcontroller to detect the presence of students. When movement is detected, the fan is automatically on and when no motion is detected for a period, the system turns the fan off. This ensures that energy is only consumed when necessary.

To further enhance sustainability, the system is powered by solar energy. A solar panel converts sunlight into electrical energy, which is stored in a rechargeable battery to operate the system. This integration reduces dependence on conventional electricity sources while promoting the use of renewable energy.

The innovation not only minimizes electricity wastage and operational costs but also supports environmental sustainability. It promotes STEM education by applying concepts of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. This project aligns with Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 7, 12, and 13, contributing towards clean energy usage, responsible consumption, and climate action.

This project demonstrates a practical, cost-effective, and eco-friendly approach to improving energy efficiency in classroom environments.
