Abstract
In this paper, a photovoltaic switch is suggested that is operated by solar module, a substitute for CdS(Cadmium Sulfide) of most existing automatic switches and thus is powered by its renewably charged battery, and its usability is investigated through various experiments. At first the characteristics of CdS and the operation principle of the existing automatic switch are investigated, and then the characteristics of solar module are examined. These preparatory research shows the possibility of substitution of solar module instead of CdS in light activated switch. Secondly the suggested photovoltaic switch's circuit is designed, implemented and then its experimental comparison data shows the possibility for the replacement of the existing switch to the suggested switch, and furthermore its superiorities.
