Published: February 2025

The need for more energy-efficient and sustainable urban lighting solutions calls for the development of smart solar-powered street lighting systems. Generally, conventional solar streetlights suffer from low efficiency in energy utilization because the lighting source is of fixed orientation, leading to decreased power generation. The proposed system is a Smart Solar-Powered Street Lighting System with Automated Tracking Mechanism for Arduino, aiming at maximizing solar energy absorption and thus improving energy efficiency.The system uses Light Dependent Resistors (LDRs) for detecting sunlight intensity, and solar panel angle adjustment is done using servo motors. A dual-axis tracking system keeps the panel perpendicular to the sun's rays throughout the day, thus maximizing power generation compared to fixed panels. The Arduino microcontroller processes real-time data from sensors for precise control of panel movement and also adjusts the functioning of LED street lights according to the intensity of ambient light.Experimental results show a 25-40% increase in energy absorption of the tracking system compared to stationary panels, which can now achieve prolonged lighting hours and less battery dependence. It runs automatically, therefore lowering associated maintenance costs, as it offers a cost-effective and scalable system for urban and rural street lighting.This research contributes to sustainable urban infrastructure by integrating automated solar tracking with smart lighting control. Future developments could explore AI-based optimization algorithms for enhanced tracking precision and wireless monitoring systems for real-time performance analysis. The proposed system serves as a viable alternative to conventional street lighting, promoting renewable energy adoption and reducing carbon footprints.

Key Words: Smart Solar Street Lighting, Automated Solar Tracking, Arduino-Based System, Energy Efficiency, Renewable Energy.

Published: February 2025

This research investigates the influence of registration, e-Filing, and e-Billing applications on taxpayer satisfaction and their subsequent impact on taxpayer compliance. Conducted among individual taxpayers registered at KPP Pratama Jombang, the study utilized a sample of 103 respondents. Data analysis was performed using Partial Least Squares (PLS) with the Smart PLS 3.0 software. The findings reveal that the registration application significantly affects taxpayer satisfaction, positively impacting taxpayers by eliminating the need for in-person visits to the local KPP for registration, thus saving valuable time previously spent queuing. Similarly, e-Filing also demonstrates a significant positive effect on taxpayer satisfaction, streamlining and expediting tax return reporting through the DJP application or website, accessible anytime and anywhere. Conversely, e-Billing does not show a significant effect on taxpayer satisfaction, attributed to a lack of understanding regarding the e-billing system, the distance between taxpayers' residences and payment points like banks, post offices, or ATMs, and the resulting queues and time constraints caused by limited access to these facilities. Finally, the research indicates that taxpayer satisfaction influences taxpayer compliance, with higher levels of satisfaction correlating with increased compliance.
