Design & Implementation of a Mobile Phone Charging System Based on Solar Energy Harvesting

Abstract

The ability to harvest energy from the environmentrepresents an important technology area that promises toeliminate wires and battery maintenance for many importantapplications and permits deploying self powered devices. Thispaper suggests the use of a solar energy harvester to chargemobile phone devices. In the beginning, a comprehensiveoverview to the energy harvesting concept and technologies ispresented. Then the design procedure of our energy harvesterwas detailed. Our prototype solar energy harvester proves itsefficiency to charge the aimed batteries under sunlight or anindoor artificial light
