INTRODUCTION
The proposed system design can be installed in any public places like market, bus stops,
and other shopping places or the places where people gather to charge their mobile phones. The
system is designed in such a way that any mobile phone can be charged. The hardware of the
proposed mobile phone charging station is implemented and tested.
A fully-charged battery can get drained within couple of hours, due to data packet service
and back -end processes which are always active in the phones. The user approaches the nearby
shops to charge the mobile phones under emergency situation. Though the power banks are
widely available in the market for emergency charging, it is not affordable by everyone.
The difference of this proposed design to other existing studies are that the researchers
offer multiple ports to the device to provide more accessibility to other users at a given time. The
design also includes a charge controller which acts as a voltage regulator so that the charging
station will stop discharging energy when a mobile phone is full charged. To allow the charging
station to be placed outside, the researchers have designed the charging station to be waterproof
and dustproof.

Charging Station
The objective of this project is to solve the problem of providing an outdoor power
source for charging devices in an environmentally friendly way to help reduce the demand of
power from other methods. The general objective of this study is to design and implement a
mobile charging station utilizing photovoltaic renewable energy system. The proposed system
design can be installed in any public places.
Create a cost-effective, economically friendly outdoor charging station for most electrical
devices
Improve the efficiency of photovoltaic solar panels.
Determine the acceptability of the device based on the following:
a) Physical features;
b) Cost;
c) Durability
1. Students
The proposed system design will benefit the students. The system will provide the student
a better and convenient way of charging their device without energy consumption. Most
especially they can able to save energy and lessen electric bill at home
2. Tourists
This project would benefit the tourists who are in sunny tourist spots like beaches and
islands. Tourists would need this because they are most likely to take pictures and videos that
could drain their phone and other gadgets' batteries. It would be useful for them to have
emergency charging stations like our project in order for them to have a more enjoyable tour.
3. Workers
Workers would benefit with this project whenever they are in need of charging stations
when they are outside because workers would not always have power banks or charging cords
with them. This project would come in handy especially in emergency situations.
4. Smokers
Charging stations located in smoking areas would also benefit because they could charge
their gadget while smoking
5. Bystanders
Bystanders especially in waiting sheds would charge their gadgets while waiting for their
ride or friend and co-worker.
6. Commuters
Commuters while waiting at bus terminal or ports could charge their phones while
waiting for their respective busses and boats. This is useful because some commuters wait for
hours.
This study focuses on helping commuters in the Philippines have an emergency and/or
alternative charging station. The study will only focus on the charging station/s utilizing
photovoltaic renewable energy systems and it’s efficiently located location.

Maroma (2014) stated in “Solar Powered Cell Phone Charging Station” that Electricity
can be produced from renewable resources, the sun’s energy can be used to heat fluids for
turbines in solar thermal systems or can be converted directly to electricity using the principles
of photovoltaic. The exponential rise in oil prices, the growing awareness of energy-related
pollution, and the adverse effects of climate change have all contributed to a re-evaluation of
energy use. This re-evaluation has resulted in the improvement in the efficiency with which
energy is used in industry and power generation, as well as in lighting, household appliances and
transportation. The efficient use of energy is a major factor that contributes to the improvement
of in energy consumption that has occurred in the last decades in almost all industrialized
countries. The amount of additional energy required to improve the desired energy services
depends on the efficiency with which the energy is produced, delivered, and used. Energy
efficiency improvement would help reduce financially investment in new energy supply system.
Cell phone is one of the most common means of communication today and through
advancements in technology, also one of the most affordable electronic gadgets that one can
avail. Many systems and devices have been integrated into the cell phone making it a
multipurpose gadget that can process pictures, emails and the like. But as with many electronic
gadgets, cell phones rely on electric current to carry out its many functions and they require to be
charged every so often. More so with android phones which consume battery power much faster
than regular cell phones. In order to address the issue of presenting an alternative method of
powering electronic devices, the researcher opted to develop a Solar Powered Cell Phone
Charging Station. Furthermore, to improve the efficiency of the PV mobile phone charging
station, the height of the charging station should be lowered and a sun tracker can be installed to
the solar panel to automatically direct the panel for maximum energy harnessing.
