S124-Solar Based Mobile Charger For Rural Areas

This document describes a solar-based mobile phone charger circuit for rural areas. The circuit uses a solar panel to harvest energy from sunlight through photovoltaic cells and convert it to electricity. A regulator circuit maintains a fixed 5V output to charge batteries. An alternative charging circuit uses a 230V AC power supply for charging at night. The circuit includes a step-down transformer, rectifier, filter, and regulator to produce a regulated 5V output for charging. The conclusion states that this dual power supply solar charger achieves high efficiency and is beneficial for charging phones in rural areas without access to the electric grid.

SOLAR BASED MOBILE CHARGER FOR RURAL AREAS

ABSTRACT: With the existing push in the direction of sustainable, clean sources of power, it is no surprise that solar power has become one of the most popular alternative energy sources. Free and available everywhere, the power of the sun can be employed to power everything like cel phones and MP3 player. The sun's energy is usually harvested through solar panels that are made up of photovoltaic cells. These cells can convert the sun's power into electricity that can be used for a number of purposes. For private use, a handheld solar hybrid charger can be employed to recharge little device for instance a MP3 player, a cell phone, or a camera.

A normal PN junction diode is used for unidirectional flow of charge current. The output of the solar panel depends on the intensity of the solar light. To regulate this voltage, LM317 is used. LM317 is an adjustable voltage regulator. The regulator circuit is designed to get a fixed voltage of 5V.

An alternative charger circuit is also provided to charge the mobile by house hold general purpose 230V in the absence of the sun light. This charge circuit uses regulated 5V, 750mA power supply. 7805 three terminal voltage regulator is used for voltage regulation. Bridge type full wave rectifier is used to rectify the ac output of secondary of 230/18V step down transformer.

POWER SUPPLY:

The input to the circuit is applied from the regulated power supply. The a.c. input i.e., 230V from the mains supply is step down by the transformer to 12V and is fed to a rectifier. The output obtained from the rectifier is a pulsating d.c voltage. So in order to get a pure d.c voltage, the output voltage from the rectifier is fed to a filter to remove any a.c components present even after rectification. Now, this voltage is given to a voltage regulator to obtain a pure constant dc voltage.

Filter:

Capacitive filter is used in this project. It removes the ripples from the output of rectifier and smoothens the D.C. Output received from this filter is constant until the mains voltage and load is maintained constant. However, if either of the two is varied, D.C. voltage received at this point changes. Therefore a regulator is applied at the output stage.

Procedure
keep the solar panel in sunlight As solar panel gets heated up it charges the mobile connected to the output pin. During night mobile can also be charged by using power supply circuit.

Advantages:
Highly sensitive Visual identification with LED Low cost and reliable circuit Sensitivity can be adjusted

CONCLUSION :
This project presents a SOLAR BASED MOBILE CHARGER
FOR RURAL AREAS

Experimental work has been carried out carefully. The result shows that higher efficiency is indeed achieved using the dual supply. The proposed method is verified to be highly beneficial for the purpose for rural areas.
