SOLAR CELL POWER BANK

 Definition
Solar Cell Power Bank is one of device that really practice and also useful for the greatest era like
now. Solar Cell Power Bank is a device that has a combination between a Solar Cell and Power Bank. As
far as we know A solar cell, or photovoltaic cell, is an electrical device that converts the energy
of light directly into electricity by the photovoltaic effect. Because of the solar cell use an energy which
come from the sun so this energy is one of unlimited energy. This energy is really useful for us if we use
it correctly. A power bank is a portable charger designed to recharge your electronic gadgets when
you’re on the move. Ranging in size from slim, pocket-sized devices up to larger, higher-capacity power
banks – they can be used to charge cell phones, tablets, portable speakers, cameras and even laptops.
So, the combination of those are we can charge our device such as gadget, laptop and many more in
every place that we want without afraid of electric resource because we can charge our power bank via
solar energy.

 Component
1. Solar Cell
2. USB Booster 5V
3. Lithium Battery Charger Modul
4. Lithium Battery
5. Diode
6. Switch

 Function of Component
1. Solar Cell is one of device can save solar energy. It is the solar cell 5V 1A.
2. Diode is put on after the solar cell. It used for rectifier of electric current.
3. USB Booster 5V is the component to stabilize the output of solar cell power bank into 5V.
4. Lithium Battery Charger Modul is a circuit that used for charging the battery between Electricity
Charging and Solar Cell Charging.
5. Lithium Battery is used for keeping the energy
6. Switch is used to turn on or off solar cell power bank.

 Advantage
1. The most important thing is we can save a lot of electric energy because we use it the solar energy
that was really friendly for our environment.
2. We can charge any gadgets that we have everywhere and every time without afraid of the electric
resources
3. We can keep communication with our beloved using our gadget although we have been in camping
or hiking
4. The size and shape of Solar Cell Power Bank is really appropriate for all places.
5. Solar Cell Power Bank has two inputs of energy. Those are Solar Energy and Electric Energy
6. Effective and easy to use.
 Disadvantage
1. The Price is really expensive than the normal power bank without solar cell system.
2. Solar Cell on Power bank is vulnerable to damage because if there is only one scratch on the solar
cell. It can impact to the saturation the energy.
3. There is no Water Resistance facility
4. Depend on the weather in a region
