Multipurpose Solar Charging Station

A working prototype of an environment-friendly multipurpose solar charging station is presented here. It is meant for use in places that have limited access to electricity but has abundance of solar irradiance. While solar charging stations have been available and in use, the charger presented here will be capable of tracking the path of sun to achieve greater efficiency through better harvesting of solar energy. It uses pulse width modulation technique to provide the desired output voltage for charging. We have developed an initial prototype that delivers up to 75% efficiency and can follow the path the sun during the day. Our goal is to improve on what we already achieved and further develop the product for commercial production.
