Introduction
The major liability or drawbacks of communication lines comes because of the distortion
of electrical lines or lack of generation of electricity as like in remote areas or during disaster or
natural calamities. To set back such drawbacks, we need a renewable source of energy which can
function round the clock without any disruption. Solar power bank is one of its kind. It works on
the power of the sun, converting solar to electrical and helps in charging the cell phones which
can be used in communication, and thus, turns to be vital during disasters and power outage
( Dhal, 2016 ).
A power outage can have many different causes- extreme weather, human error,
equipment failure, supply/demand issues and etc. Home owners, businesses and cellphone users
need to prepare for and mitigate power outages as part of their daily lives which should have a
power backup solution, data backup & recovery, as well as a plan of how to resume operations
especially in their mobile phones and other electronic devices when they are using it ( Pereira,
2017 ).
The problem in the Philippines is the prices from electricity that goes to the different
cities and towns. This is a big problem for the citizens that live or visit the Philippines. Many
people in the Philippines must deal with rolling blackouts and outages. This is also a problem for
the government of the Philippines that’s why Filipinos are having difficult time to charge their
Whether it’s due to an electrical issue or inclement weather, a power outage can leave you
feeling helpless. It’s always a good idea to be prepared for a power outage. While it’s a good
idea to stock up on nonperishable food, water, flashlights and extra batteries to prepare for this
type of situation, making sure your technology is ready in advance may be harder..
The Sun, our nearest and biggest star, is the biggest source of energy to us. The suns
radiation arrives at no cost and is available during any clear day. In the broad sense of the term,
solar energy includes wind, wave, biomass, and fossil fuel energy as well. All these forms of
originated as solar energy. It is a clean, safe source of energy. The energy itself is free. Solar
Solar Mobile Phone Chargers has been prompted by the challenge to uncover other
possible means of charging of mobile phones especially where and when power supply becomes
erratic or totally inaccessible. This made solar charging one of the expedient alternative method
for charging mobile devices a necessity. Solar-powered battery chargers are portable devices that
use energy from the sun for charging power. they are a useful device to have around in
device used to “force” current into the battery of a mobile phone by converting pulsating
“alternating current” from an ac supply outlet, to dc “direct current” which is the type of current
required by a mobile phone. In a solar mobile phone charger, the ac supply outlet is eliminated,
since the required current and voltage is supplied by a dc cell known as a solar cell, which
converts solar energy into electricity. A solar charger provides an alternative source for charging
mobile phones and furthermore harnesses the use of the abundant solar ( Whada, 2016 )
Furthermore, regular chargers have an ac input and a dc output which means, they
definitely must have rectifier circuits and some sort of filter components to remove ripples, these
requirements are somewhat eliminated in the design of solar chargers. These are some major
differences in the design of regular electric phone chargers and solar chargers, but generally, their
mode of operation is the same. It is worth noting that while regular chargers generally differ from
solar chargers, regular chargers also differ one from another and solar chargers themselves have
differences in construction and circuit requirements. These variations in their individual designs
Another major advantage of a solar charger is that, it is mobile and could be used
anywhere, anytime as long as there is enough sunlight to make the solar cell produce the power,
phone being charged and this means that "on the move”charging is made possible by a solar char
ger, since it does not require a regular ac outlet electricity source ( Whada, 2016 )

Research Methodology
In this chapter, this includes the research design, research locale, materials used,
This chapter presents the results of the study as well as the discussions of the said results.
Salient Features of the Solar Panel with a built-in mirror as an alternative to Commercial
chargers
This innovation called “ Solar Panel with a built-in mirror as an alternative to Commercial
Chargers ”, is to use sunlight of energy to charge the cellphone. In addition, this project uses a
built-in mirror in which solar energy reflects back to the solar panel making it fast to charge. The
solar energy will use to reduce the losses of the electricity. Moreover, the PV panels collect the
energy from the sunlight when the sunlight intensity equals 6 hours or more. However, the
sunlight intensity different in each country around the world so should know before start doing
Chapter IV
in this project to give the readers a brief understanding and comprehension of the present
invention.
Findings
Based on the analysis and interpretations of data presented in Chapter III, the salient
1. The researchers have successfully added features in the existing solar panel chargers.
Conclusions
After the researchers were able to enhance existing built in mirror into a solar panel
1. It can be concluded that the enhancement of existing solar and commercial chargers is
successful because it has acquired some features other solar and commercial chargers
don’t have
2. From the experiment, it was discovered that there is a significant difference between the
innovation and the commercial chargers in terms of how fast they charge making it to
Based on the findings of the study, the researchers would like to pose the following
recommendations :
1. Include different kinds of solar panels and built in mirrors in the project to discover other
features that will help in modifying the Solar Panel with a built-in mirror as an
to discover the significant difference of the Solar Panel with a built-in mirror as an
alternative to Commercial Chargers and other solar panel chargers in terms of how fast
they charge.
