Hands-On Project Practice:
Title of the Project: Solar Powered Charger
1. Introduction: In an era where sustainable energy solutions are gaining increasing importance, harnessing solar power for everyday applications is becoming a top priority. The solar-powered mobile charger project serves as a practical demonstration of how renewable energy sources can be utilized to power essential electronic devices like mobile phones. The students utilized readily available components to construct an efficient and portable charging solution.
2. Circuit Diagram:
3. Components Used: The solar-powered mobile charger was built using the following components:
- Solar Panel 4W 12V: The main energy source of the charger, capable of converting sunlight into electrical energy.
- 7805 Voltage Regulator: Used to regulate the output voltage to a stable 5V required for USB charging.
- 100μF/25V Capacitor: A filtering capacitor to smoothen the output voltage and reduce ripples.
- 10μF /25V Capacitor: Another filtering capacitor to further stabilize the output.
- 100nF/50V Capacitor: Decoupling capacitor to minimize noise and ensure a consistent output voltage.
- USB Female Connector: To connect the mobile devices for charging.
- Connecting Wires: Used for interconnecting all the components.
4. Design and Construction: The design of the solar-powered mobile charger involved creating a compact and efficient circuit that could harness solar energy effectively. The circuit diagram consisted of connecting the solar panel to the voltage regulator (7805) to obtain a stable 5V output. The capacitors were appropriately placed to ensure smooth output voltage with minimal noise.
5. Conclusion: The students successfully designed and constructed an eco-friendly and portable charging solution using a solar panel and basic electronic components. The project not only fostered practical skills but also raised awareness of sustainable energy solutions among the participants. As solar energy continues to gain traction globally, projects like these encourage the adoption of renewable energy sources and inspire further exploration of clean energy technologies.
