Solar Power
About Solar Power
In today’s world where we are always struggling to power our cities, we need to look at alternate energy sources. Solar panels are not only a renewable resource, it is also very clean, efficient and easy to use. In this workshop, we teach students to interface Solar Panels with a charging circuitry to charge you phone. We also cover aspects where we track the sunlight and position this Solar panel.
Solar chargers are very common today and it is a product available directly for the public for commercial and personal use but at a very high cost. With the help of supporting circuitry, we make a mobile phone charging system that can solve all your low battery problems at the go anytime during the day! Along with that, we create a solar tracker with the help of LDRs, Arduino, motors and a lot more. What will you learn???
