Abstract
The world is currently facing major problems; one of the problems is energy crisis. Since
the first energy source, natural gas was discovered, more sources of energy was suddenly
discovered and widely used in the society, but the problem for a more suitable and more
effective energy source is still a major problem. Because the current energy source of the world
is gasoline, fossil fuel, etc. are greatly contributed in the pollution of our surroundings. And
power plants and other energy source is vastly found on urban areas such as cities, etc. but in
remote areas such as countryside, islands and provinces are lacking energy source because the
government does not give much of their attention to the places with discrete number of people.
This study show the benefits that the society can have if renewable energy, such as solar
energy, wind energy, geothermal energy, hydroelectric energy and many more renewable energy
will be used as the main source of energy. This study will focus in using solar energy as
alternative source of energy especially here in the Philippines, which has a tropical climate, by
constructing a self-sustaining power bank with built in taser or “PoLar Bank”. And having a
conceptual analysis between the PoLar Bank and a standard power bank by conducting multiple
tests to differentiate the two subjects and reach a suitable answer for the stated problems by the
researchers

CHAPTER 1
Introduction
All our lauded technological progress, our very civilization –– is like the axe in the hand
It has become terribly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity. The
technological advancement has been increasing every minute, every hour and every day. Our
society is so eager to create and develop an innovative product, gadgets, and machine just to
Over the past period there are debut of many types of devices including smartphones and
tablets. Today’s people have already witnessed the evolution of smart phones. People are now
living in a millennium period where everyone is so excited to have the latest mobile phone. Most
of them are updated and eager to get the latest cellphone that trend in the market.
Indeed, cellphone is really a necessity nowadays, people couldn’t leave their homes
without cellphone in their pocket maybe because of its multi-function features where everyone
can use for communication, social media, taking pictures, listening to music and playing videos.
Based on Statistics (2018), Technology & Telecommunication statistic shows the number of
smart phones user in the Philippines from 2015 to 2018 is 34.44 million users.
known as a battery charger, is a portable charger used to charge a wide range of digital products.
It is used as an external battery, plug-in charger or back-up charger for charging a rechargeable
8

Advancement of technology and use of portable devices has driven the growth and
demand for supply of power bank. According to Costello, Hector (2018), “Global Portable
Power Bank Market 2018 Forecast 2025” report is a valuable source of guidance and direction
for companies and individuals who are looking for investment or opportunities in growing
Portable Power Bank Industry. However, the world’s resources are diminishing, government and
non-government organizations are pushing a greener solution through the use of renewable
energy sources. It was forecasted by some scientists such as Thomas Alva Edison that Solar
Energy will be the future energy source. The portable solar phone charger is one of the devices
that use light to charge a phone. It is portable that people on the road or on camping can carry it
into their pocket and charge their phones where ever they want. However, people who are using
phone in public places is no longer safe and it is more efficient if there is a solar power bank
device where you can use it as charger at the same time you can use it as self-defense mechanism
The researchers come up with study to provide a self sustaining power bank for those
who live in rural areas and remote islands that doesn’t have stable energy source. This study can
Renewable energy
According to Vermar et al. (2014), the use of renewable energy such as; solar power,
biomass, hydro power, wind energy, geothermal energy, have a huge impact as a source of

Based on the study of the researcher Brahim (2014), it will be beneficial to the
Philippines to use renewable energy as the main source of energy, because the Philippine’s
current main source of energy is oil. Even though there are places in the Philippines that use
Based on the study of Mureddu et al. (2015), the inflating number issues in our
energy getting more demand that cause balancing in terms of using non-renewable energy. And
this is changing the energy management and making problems that can at least be understood.
Based on the study of Owusu and Sardokie (2016), the inflating demand on energy all
around the world, they need to find more source of energy. But it contributes to pollution
because the world’s main source of energy is non-renewable energy. So, using renewable energy
can help to reduce the contribution in global warming and provide a new and clean energy for
harvesting solar energy and storing it in a portable Mobile Elemental Power Plant II. It can
supply 3000W of AC power and it’s towable. Because it can be disassembled, it can be used in
medical sites, humanitarian projects, disaster relief locations and military application.
Solar Energy
According to Sharma et al. (2015) and Fayeez et al. (2015), more power stations can be
built with proper allocation of time, money, effort and enough study about solar power energy.
And it means the community will start to use and rely to solar technologies instead of using oil as
the source of energy. Using solar energy is so effective in terms of energy production in remote
10
P a g e | 11
areas where other source of energy is not that effective. And solar energy is the eco-friendliest
power source. But it’s also like the diesel generators because of the very high initial cost.
Based on the study of Cabrillos et al. (2018), there are 6.8 billion cellphone users around
the world and it keeps increasing because of the high demand in the market. So, as the number of
cellphone users increases, the demand in electricity is also increasing. And this study suggests
that using renewable energy, especially solar energy, can help us in our energy problems.
According to Gohil et al. (2017) and Uwibambe et al. (2017), the power necessities of the
world including India are hoisted at aggravating rate and the control request has been expanding.
The non-renewable energy sources (i.e., coal, oil and flammable gas) and other customary assets,
by and by utilized for age of electrical vitality. It isn't adequate or reasonable to keep Age with
consistently expanding interest of the electrical vitality of the world. The age of electrical power
by chilly based steam control plant and atomic power plants causes contamination, which is
probably going to be more hurtful in future because of extensive creating limit on one side and it
became extreme because more prominent attention to the individuals in this regard. This venture
give thought regarding non-traditional Energy sources and why we are going for that non-regular
vitality sources. The best possible employments of sun based vitality and its distinctive
application which are utilizing at home protection part, marines, remote territory and so forth.
Even though that there are many technological advancements, there are still countries that
struggle in the scarcity of energy resources like India, that only depend in hydro power because
fuel and thermal energy is still on small scales and to sustain the energy demand, using
renewable energy especially the use of solar panel can be an alternative source of energy
11
P a g e | 12
According to Ties and Soh (2014), building a mini low cost solar power bank that has a
rechargeable battery and a charge controller to monitor will be beneficial to the society.
Based on the study of Agarwal (2016), IJIR (2017) and IJECT (2014), building a power
bank that use solar energy as the main source of energy can be a handy thing when travelling.
Also power bank is important especially for those who travel a lot and doesn't have any access to
electricity or for those who work and are using cell phones, they need to extend the usage time of
their cell phones for their day to be productive, and making a power bank that can be charged
using solar power will be more efficient than an original power bank because you can also
charge your power bank even without any access to electricity. The solar energy has a huge
potential as an alternative source of energy. So building a power bank that can absorb energy
from sunlight by using photovoltaic cells that has a USB port that is compatible to charge any
mobile device.
Based on the study of Bekhe and Harun (2016), Malaysia electricity generation and
consumption are important issues. Currently 97.6% of Malaysian people have access to
electricity in many sectors such as housing, transportation, manufacturing, construction and etc.
Malaysia showed continuing increase in electricity consumption by 8.7% from 1980 to 2014.
Electricity generation shows similar growth at 8.4%. Realizing that the electrical consumption is
increasing. Currently, the issues about energy are not only a local thread even in other countries
like Malaysia where their government project was reviewing the energy policy to ensure long-
term reliability and security of energy resources. To fulfill the electricity demand and to resolve
the projected energy poverty not only locally but even in foreign countries that are trying to
design an energy source derived from natural resources which will not deplete when used.

Energy usage
According to Dubey (2016) and Abolhosseini et al. (2014), regardless the possibilities,
there are provocations that prevent the sustainability of renewable energy with regards to climate
change alleviation. Suggestions which when contemplated would help reach the aim of
renewable energy consequently to lessen excretions, alleviate climate change and give a good
environment as well as good energy for all and for succeeding generations. Energy is needed in
our day by day living as a process of enhancing human growth guiding to financial growth and
efficiency.
Based on the studies of Najideen and Larwashden (2017) and Brahim (2014), there are
ways to conserve the energy available. The use of renewable energy especially here in the
Philippines will be advisable particularly the use of solar energy because it’s so abundant in
places or countries with warm climate. But it needs to be thoroughly examined to determine the
Based on the research paper of Joshi (2015), using utilized part of a circuit that enhances
the abilities of portable power banks that you can buy in the market are talked about. Parts like
DC voltage controllers and USB links are utilized to make a circuit with greater utility compared
to products in the market. It offers extra favorable circumstances and more straightforward way
to deal with these convenient power banks. This outline will help in reducing generally cost of
the gadget and furthermore help individuals by unwinding the need of telephone chargers and
separate chargers for USB gadgets. It will be useful throughout the days, as, the speed and
progressions in telephones are at an exponential rate which diminishes the charge of telephones
enormously. Consequently, this calls for less demanding answers for telephone charging. This

The Law of Conservation of Energy states that “Energy cannot be created nor destroyed
but can only be transferred from one form to another”. This is where the idea of solar energy
came from, to transfer the sun’s raging light into lifelong, safe and sustainable energy source for
the human beings. The process on how sunlight is converted into electrical energy is basically
because the sunlight is absorbed by Photovoltaic (PV) cell made of semiconductor material like
silicon or commonly known as solar cells, and directly converts into electricity.
When the light strikes the semiconductor material, a certain amount is absorbed which
means energy from the source is transferred into the material and magnetic field causes electrons
to flow in a certain direction that now produces the current. The power generated by the PV cells
Solar energy can become the main source of energy for all. In fact, other countries like
China are promoting solar panel as a medium in converting solar energy into electricity. Solar
energy is the future source of our energy source and continuous improvement and study are
expected to happen for fine tuning of this discovery. The market share of solar energy is still
low. Current electricity generation from PVs is only of the order of 2.6 GW compared to 36.3 W
for all renewable energies, hydroelectric power excluded. Developed countries are steadily
increasing their investments in solar power plants, and IEA projections for 2030 give an
photovoltaic cells, and the rest (2.4GW) from solar thermal plants. However, this amount will
not exceed 6% of the total electricity production from non-hydro renewable energies. It is worth

P a g e | 16
solar technologies for water heating, not included in these statistics, represent a fairly large
amount of power. IEA estimates a power production of 5.3GW in 2002 and an increase up to
46GW by 2030.
