4.3 WORKING

 Photovoltaic panels are used for converting the sunlight into electricity. When sunlight
incident on the panel, sufficient number of photons from sunlight get absorbed by the PV
panel. Then photon excites some loose electrons in the panel. In this way the positive and
negative regions are created from which electricity is obtained.

 The energy generated by PV panel is used for charging the battery which is connected in
the system. Sometimes the output from the panel is high and sometimes it is very low. If
batteries are fully charged, then the supply from panels should be cut-off and if batteries are
not charged at the rated level, supply to load should be cut-off. For these problems, charge
controller is used to control the charging of battery and prevent it from over charging and
deep discharging.

 Two connections are taken out from the battery to the LED lamp and second are to mobile
chargers. Mobile chargers averagely required the 5v supply, but battery output voltage is
high which are given to the mobiles.

 For converting the high voltage supply to 5v, IC 7805 voltage regulator is used, which
gives the required output voltage to mobile chargers. By use of voltage regulator we can
apply rated battery voltage to mobile phones so that they give good performance.

 Lighting will be required during the evening and night time i.e. for dusk to dawn. Therefore,
for automatic switching ON/OFF of LED lamp LDR sensor is used, which senses the light
intensity and accordingly, resistance increases and decreases. Consequently, LED lamp
connected to the LDR circuit operated automatically when light intensity gets changed.
Hence we get the mobile charging station with the lighting system even in the dark which is
completely based on solar energy.

 This solar panel-based system integrates multiple components to provide both mobile
charging and lighting solutions. The PV panels convert sunlight into electricity, which is
regulated by a charge controller to safely charge a battery. The battery then supplies power
to a 7805 voltage regulator, which provides a stable 5V output for mobile chargers.
Additionally, an LDR sensor automates the LED lighting, ensuring it operates only during
low light conditions. This setup provides a sustainable and efficient energy solution,
harnessing solar power to meet the demands of mobile charging and nighttime illumination.

5.1.3 Charge Controller:

Fig. 5.1.3 Charge Controller

A charge controller is an essential part of all power system that charge batteries, whether the
power source is solar, wind, fuel, or grid. Its purpose is to keep the batteries properly fed and
safe for the long time. A charge controller blocks the reverse current which is flowing during
the night time and prevents the battery. [2] Solar charge controllers are doing main two
functions in solar panel system: it mainly controlling the charging of batteries. It prevents the
battery from overcharging and deep discharging according to the energy storage available in
battery. Solar charge controllers are specified by both amperage and voltage.

5.1.4 Voltage regulator 7805:

Fig. 5.1.4 Voltage regulator 7805

Department of EEE, RNSIT, Bengaluru-98

Page 11
 Solar Panel Based Multi-Mobile Charger with LED illumination 2023-2024

Voltage regulator IC's are nothing but the IC's used to regulate voltage. IC 7805 is used to limit
the voltage up to 5V and can supply the 5V power. It also performs the purpose of the Heat-
Sink. The maximum amount of input voltage we can apply is 35V.It can Supply the constant
5V power supply up to threshold voltage of 35V. If the voltage range is near to 7.5V. It does
not require the provision of Heat-Sink and does not produce thermal effects. If the input voltage
is more than required then excess power is released in the form of heat from IC 7805.
Figure 5.1.4 shows the description of IC 7805 with 3 pins and their functions.
Pin1:-Input -Takes The Input Voltage.
Pin2:- Output- Provides- +5V.
Pin3:- Ground- General Ground.

5.1.5 Light Dependent Resistor:

Fig. 5.1.5 Light Dependent Resistor

In Light Dependent Resistor, resistivity depends on the intensity of the light. They are made up
of semiconductor materials having high resistance. LDR is light sensing device whose
conductivity increase when the light falls on it. When light rays incident on the LDR, electrons
which are present in the valence band of semiconductor material get excited and jumps into
conduction band. As soon as the high intensity light strikes on the device, large numbers of
electrons get excited and travel towards conduction band which results in large number of
charge carriers.[2][7] Hence from this the current starts flowing through circuit and that’s why
its resistance Decreases.
