Original Abstract

The work deals with the possibility of using renewable energy sources to power variable traffic signs. These marks are used for line traffic control. The destination is roads and motorways, where there is a problem with the power supply of signs due to the absence of mains voltage. Currently, lead-acid batteries are used for power supply, which are always replaced with new ones after discharging and taken to a maintenance center for charging. The costs of the whole agenda involved are enormous and it is therefore desirable to reduce them in any way. The aim of this work is to design a photovoltaic panel for the use of solar energy for charging used lead-acid batteries.
