ABSTRACT

Most of the entity in the world has been changed except educational materials.
With the development of technology, transformation of current educational
materials is the most convenient needs. Tables are widely used in human daily
activities which is often used to place books, stationary, personal computers, for
eating and more .In this paper a complete smart study table is designed. Lamp ,
fan and phone charging are the main features of this study table. The main
objective of this project is that solar energy is using for the table functionalities.

This project proposes the design and construction of a solar powered study
table. The table will be equipped with a solar panel, a battery charger circuit, a
light, and a fan. The solar panel will convert sunlight into electricity, which will
be used to charge the battery. The battery will then power the light and fan,
allowing the user to study in any location, regardless of the availability of
electricity.

The main components of the solar powered study table are the solar panel, the
battery charger circuit, the light, and the fan. The solar panel is responsible for
converting sunlight into electricity. The battery charger circuit then uses this
electricity to charge the battery. The light and fan are powered by the battery,
and can be used to provide illumination and ventilation for the user. The solar
powered study table is a practical and environmentally friendly way to provide
light and ventilation for students and other users.

the solar panel to the battery.BatteryThe battery stores the electrical energy
from the solar panel.Lighting-The lighting is powered by the battery.Fan-The
fan is powered by the battery.Project Goals-The goal of this project is to
design and build a solar powered study table that is functional, affordable,
and easy to use. The table should be able to provide enough light and airflow
to allow users to study comfortably in a variety of lighting conditions. The
table should also be able to store enough energy to power the lighting and fan
for a reasonable amount of time.

Project Methodology-The project will be completed in three phases:1. Design

phase: In this phase, the design of the solar powered study table will be
finalized. The dimensions of the table, the type of solar panel, the capacity of

3.3 CIRCUIT DIAGRAM

3.4 CIRCUIT DIAGRAM EXPLANATION

The solar-based battery charger works on the rule that the charge control circuit
will create a constant voltage. The charging current goes to the LM317T voltage
regulator through the diode D1. The yield voltage and current controls by
adjusting the adjusted pin of the LM317T voltage controller. The battery during
the charging state utilizes the same current.

The schematic shown here is a very efficient automatic solar-power-based

battery charger circuit. Which utilizes to charge 12V SLA batteries from solar-
based cells. The circuit is utilizing an LM317T voltage controller IC. The
BC548 transistor is filling in as a switch that will separate the ground of the
LM317T from the solar-powered cell when the battery becomes fully charged
