Description
Summary:Solar energy is the most abundant and cleanest energy source on Earth. Its technology is used to exploit and make use of the energy of the sun. This project is designed and developed using the solar energy as the main source of energy to generate electricity. It focus on its main function as a backup power supply for everyone when doing outdoor activities. The hardware can be brought to anywhere easily because it is built using light components in term of weight and small in term of the size. It is essential to design a lightweight hardware with fancy design because with that, everyone will become attracted and comfortable enough to use it. As for the efficiency, the solar panels that is used has been chosen with the greatest efficiency and suitable rating according to the market. Starting with solar panel directly connected to battery protection charger TP4056, the framework of the project is just good as it implements safety and protection to prevent any damage from occur. Lithium-ion batteries together with battery holder are used as their effectiveness in life cycle, capacity and size are good to obtain the highest capabilities of battery storage. Besides that, DC-DC boost converter are also connected to USB output port to increase the voltage to a sufficient voltage of 5V in charging electrical devices with same rated value of current and voltage. As SPDT switch is also included in the hardware, user can choose the time they want to use this solar power charger. As the solar energy is ecologically acceptable and does not produce pollution, the project is recommended to be developed more in the future for a clean backup energy power supply.
