ABSTRACT
Solar powered device stores the energy that the solar panel produces instead of feeding it
back into the electricity grid. With solar battery, it maximizes the ability to use the electricity
generated by the solar panel on a day to day basis. Unlike in common batteries, it quickly drains
and has a limit of the power supply (Gadkari, 2007). Experiencing lack of access to electricity is
very inconvenient to students when studying. Nowadays, students stores their data’s and
assignments on their mobile phone. A mobile phone is a very useful device for everyone because
almost everything can be produced technologically, information, communication, and data. If
electricity is unavailable it tend to slow the process and for most students they may not be able
to meet their deadline and can cause delay. Renewable energy resources are a good option
because they neither require complicated infrastructure nor a nationwide grid.
The researchers will conduct a research study that will be helpful to the people; it is the
solar powered mini electric fan, LED light and cell phone charger. The aim of this study is to
construct a product that will benefit the people, community and the nature. The 12 volts battery
in response to the 25watts solar panel can handle only 3 devices and has a total duration of the
LED Light (26 hours), for the Mini Electric Fan it maximizes the time of (21 hours) and for the
Cell Phone charger it can fully charge up to 2 cell phones apple/android except for Asus phones
for (2 hours) with a remaining battery percentage of 15%. For the whole device with all the
gadgets running at the same time the overall duration is 3 hours. The study focuses on converting
solar energy into electrical energy by means of exposing the 25 watt solar panels under the
sunlight in order to run the LED light, mini electric fan, and cell phone charger. The researchers

INTRODUCTION AND REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
In this generation everything is produced and operated by electricity. People use it every
day even in simple movements or operations. Whenever electricity is interrupted, it brings
inconvenience to everyone may it be at work or home. It is a frustrating moment if they are
working on something that is technologically operated.
Nowadays, students stores their data’s and assignments on their mobile phone. A mobile
phone is a very useful device for everyone because almost everything can be produced
technologically, information, communication, and data. If electricity is unavailable it tend to
slow the process and for most students they may not be able to meet their deadline and can cause
delay. It is ironic if you have a phone but doesn’t have a charge. This 3-in-1 device can give you
an alternative source of light, fan, and cell phone charger for emergency and power interruption
purposes. This will surely have a big role to students and people who needs it.
Solar powered device stores the energy that the solar panel produces instead of feeding it
back into the electricity grid. With solar battery, it maximizes the ability to use the electricity
generated by the solar panel on a day to day basis. Unlike in common batteries, it quickly drains
and has a limit of the power supply (Gadkari, 2007).
Light Emitting Diode (LED) is more advantageous than the existing incandescent light in
terms of life expectancy, high tolerance to humidity, low power consumption and minimal heat

generation lighting. LED is used in full color display, traffic signals, and many other means of
illumination (Komine, 2004).
Incandescent create light by use of a filament. When power is applied, the
filament glows, generating heat, in turn, producing light. LED’s are the opposite. LED’s create
light through a “cold process”, when power is applied to semiconductors (usually gallium,
arsenic, and phosphorus) they’re stimulated by the movement of electrons; thus creating photons,
the light that is visibly seen by humans. LED light bulbs are much brighter than incandescent or
halogen bulb of the same wattage (Komine, 2004).
Portable solar chargers are more useful and effective. Unlike other portable charging
devices, that typically has to be charged up at home, portable solar chargers’ power reserves and
can be replenished by energy from the sun. They come very much in handy in situations where
there’s power shortage (Magdaleno, 2012).
Today’s technology provides a large number of other mobile appliances, instruments and
tools that will also greatly benefit from extended power. Existing solar panels operate under
direct sunlight conditions and are deployed when the equipment is in use or stationary (Nevada,
2002).
The base and the primary source of this work is solar energy, and acting as the secondary
source is the batteries, and for the lighting source is the LED (Costa, 2009).
Solar light was collected and distributed by a device inside the reactor through optical
fibers. Continuous light supply is achieved by the reactor using solar light during sunny times
and artificial light for night and cloudy days (Tanaka, 1999).

The energy conversion efficiency of a solar cell is the percentage of the solar energy to
which the cell to which the cell is exposed that is converted into electrical energy (Nevada,
2002).
Solar energy is being used to generate the required voltage to charge a mobile battery
which is operated by a coin. The Ordinary solar panel faces one direction and because of this the
solar panel is not getting enough sun rays to produce a coin operated charger (Kalyani, 2015).
The researchers came up with the idea of a portable device that is powered by solar
energy by means of exposing the solar panel under the sun to store an energy into the solar
battery that is used to run the mini electric fan, LED light and cell phone charger.
The product that was presented is made to supply people a handyman device that is able
to provide them an alternative power source such as light, fan and power.
The researchers will conduct a research study that will be helpful to the people; it is the
solar powered mini electric fan, LED light and cell phone charger. The aim of this study is to
construct a product that will benefit the people, community and the nature.
Nepal, an underdeveloped country with one of the lowest energy consumption in the
world suffers from chronic energy shortage. To meet unquenchable demand of energy, the
country spends large amount of money to import fossil fuel and electricity. Use of solar power
technologies can help mitigate the blackout problem as Nepal receives good solar insulation
(Gautam, Li, Ru, 2014).
Restore energy into the solar battery to provide as an alternative power source to sustain
gadgets like LED Light, Mini Electric Fan and Cell Phone Charger.
