Abstract
Mobile phones and other gadgets have become the most valuable device not only for working people but also public at large especially for updating social media. Based on the heavy usage and the decreasing battery efficiency and life time, this work proposes a new standalone box-type Solar PV charging station with the rated capacity of 320Wp Monocrystalline module comes with 100AH lead-acid battery. The recorded Time of Charge (ToF) is based on rated current supplied to the load i.e 1A and 2A A maximum of 10 gadgets can be plug-in at any one time with a maximum charging time of 3 hours. This PV charging stations works 24 hours with the high battery capacity and solar PV controller in maintaining charging sequence. The actual performance of this charging system is measured for 3 continuous days in the month of February 2019 in Serdang, Selangor, Malaysia with 5 minutes data intervals. The results are further analyze based on the energy yield, capacity factor, and charging efficiency.Mobile phones and other gadgets have become the most valuable device not only for working people but also public at large especially for updating social media.
