Introduction

The project provides for a solar-powered battery charging mechanism.

Solar energy is turned into electrical energy with the aid of a solar panel using
photovoltaic cells. The technique works well for storing energy for usage at
night. Even the charging process, including when the battery is overcharged or
undercharged, is controlled by the project. It calls for a group of op-amps to
continuously track variables like panel voltage, load current, etc. A green LED
illuminates when the battery is fully charged and shine when the battery is
either overcharged or undercharged.

A transistor is used to move the load to another dummy while a MOSFET

is used to cut off the load when it is overcharged or undercharged.

Project Background

Statement of the Problem

The study aimed to determine the design and implementation of an

inverter-powered solar panel to convert DC to AC power.

Specifically, it sought to answer the following questions

o Is Solar Power AC or DC??

o How do Solar Panels Convert to AC?
o Is a Solar Panel Battery Worth it for me?
o How do I know when my Solar Batteries are Fully Charged?
o Can you Overcharge a Battery with Solar Panel?

Objectives
Main Objective

 To control the battery charging procedure to prevent overcharging. It also

helps to stop electrical flow from the batteries to the solar panels during
the night. A solar charge controller can help you get the most out of your
solar panel's performance.

Specific Objectives

 To use an alternative way of producing electrical charging station by the

use of solar panel and solar power.
 To utilize the solar energy and create a renewable energy in inexpensive
matter.

Unique Value Propositions and Unfair Advantage

Solar panels collect clean renewable energy in the form of sunlight and convert
that light into electricity which can then be used to provide power for electrical
loads which means that it can be used for a lot of different things that is
beneficial.

And since this is connected to a battery, there are some cases where too much
current can damage the battery, which is why it can be very expensive and be
difficult to maintain. Generally speaking, if you have a lower-quality battery or
one that is older, it may not be able to withstand those high currents without
suffering damage.

The idea was to provide a solar-powered battery charging mechanism, which is
how the Solar Charge Controller was made in order to power up your battery
while at the same time, keeping it healthy.

A solar charge controller helps protect the battery from excessive charging and
reduce damage caused by high current flow by regulating the voltage and
current coming from the solar panel to the battery.

You can also use this device as a safety precaution when charging your
batteries in case there's any sort of problem—for example, if something goes
wrong during the installation or if there's an issue with one of the internal
components themselves.

The way it works is simple, when the green LED light illuminates, it means that
the battery is completely charged, and when a red LED light blinks it means
that the battery is undercharged on the other hand, if it doesn't blink it means
that is overcharged.

and the solution that we came up with is by incorporating a MOSFET that cuts
off the load when it is undercharged or overcharge; whereas a transistor is
used to switch the load to another dummy one when it is overcharged thereby
protecting it from being damaged.

Market Strategy

Executive Summary

 An unplanned power outage is affecting Aklan, Antique, Capiz,

Guimaras, and Iloilo provinces in the western Visayas region as of July
6. The power agency National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP)
attributed the outage, which began at around 07:00, to infrastructural
issues. While NGCP said that it had restored the supply, reports indicate
that disruptions are still occurring in some parts of the region

Page | 6
  In the province of Albay, one of the biggest and longstanding issues
suffered by residents is power outages, which happen almost every day
within the past months—most of which last for hours.

These are just a few of the reasons why this project or product is beneficial to
everyone. We were unaware of when the power outage would occur. Many
modern devices and equipment are rechargeable, but how long will this last if
the power outage is prolonged?

5 P’S OF MARKETING
1. PRODUCT = Solar Energy Charge
2. PRICE = (Costing is needed).
Things to consider in pricing:
Internal costs = Php 6,825.204 = PHP 7,000

Competitors – What competitors are charging for the same product?

Accessibility – How accessible are products of competitors? (online

shops. Esp shoppee )

Buying power – How much buying power do your customer profile have
to pay for your product?

Market condition – Is the market condition favorable to charge a

particular price?

Quality – Does the quality you provide match the price you want to
charge?

3. PLACE = What channels or platforms will you use? (For example, will
you be advertising on social media, utilizing email marketing, or going
offline?) Consider where your customers already spend their time for the
optimal marketing locations.

Page | 7
4. PROMOTION = (Do you want to run ad campaigns? Do you want to send
outreach emails? Do you want to promote your products in certain
groups? Do you want to promote certain websites?) ✔ 

5. PEOPLE = every marketing strategy needs to consider people – their

behavior, their fears, psychosocial elements, and everything that
connects a person to the business.

(ADULT people which has high profile especially people who have a business
ventures)

PEOPLE

ADULT the researcher targets this type of people because it is applicable

on their needs. It caters larger amount of product so that it is affordable and
convenient for them. For instance, is that people who needs to venture new
types of condominium, houses or even apartment since they must invest
affordable product for their new houses it is very applicable for them. Similarly,
they can afford to purchase it. In addition to what has been said, it is
applicable on normal resident that need to save power / energy consumption
on their houses especially to those people prioritizing saving money it is very
perfect from them.

PLACE

SOCIAL MEDIA it is because almost most of the people are now

influenced by social media and it is vital to provide information thru online due
to its accessibility and sometimes it does not cause a lot and many people can
interact on the information that could provide. Social Media is a great channel
to attract customers, get prior feedback and build loyalty. Furthermore, it
could increase the market reach, including international markets. Do market
research and reduce marketing costs. increase revenue by building customer
networks and advertising. Nevertheless, it is very suitable for our target
customers.

PROMOTION

 A digital marketing flyer, on the other hand, is similar, and can be

designed, shared, and marketed online. Digital flyers cut down the hassle
of moving around looking for target customers on the ground. Instead, it
can include a digital marketing flyer on your website, social media
profiles, and newsletters, and even run ads on other websites using it.
Here are a few points illustrating the importance of flyers for marketing
online.
o Online marketing flyers saves money. Instead of having them
printed, you can design them using free templates.
o They take away the hassle of circulating flyers. Spread your digital
flyers through WhatsApp, upload them on Instagram, integrate
them into website, and add them to newsletter, instead of running
around looking for people to share them with.
o They grab user’s attention online. When adding promotional offers,
exclusive discounts, or exciting announcements to digital flyers,
they get conversions.
o Finally, they boost marketing efforts. After all, direct marketing
flyers play a massive role in highlighting offers and guiding users
directly to the page. For example, include a button in your digital
flyer stating, “Shop Now!” and voila, it is easy for an interested
customer to reach your website, where they can shop the product
directly.

 Commercial Advertising means using videos for promoting and telling

people about your product or service. It helps increase engagement on
your digital and social channels, educates your audience, and allows you
to reach them with a new medium.
