Solar- Powered Coin-Operated Charging Station

Abstract

This study is focused on the development of a coin-operated mobile gadget charging station that is powered by solar energy, which is attached to the charging station by means of a storage battery. The device is aimed for the promotion of solar energy as alternative off-grid source that demonstrate limitless potential for development. It can also be used for commercial use since it requires certain fee for a specified period to charge mobile gadgets. However, in case of calamities the charging station can be used as an emergency charging station in the event of prolonged power outages. Since the device is a standalone system it can charge mobile gadgets as long as there is sunlight.
