ABSTRACT

This study is titled “Charge Box: The Use of Solar Panels as an Emergency

Power Source." The Charge Box is meant to serve as a backup power source for

every individual in times of emergency. The inverter, battery, and solar panels were

used by the researchers. The energy source is the solar panels, followed by the

battery, which stores energy, and the inverter, which helps convert direct current

electricity into alternate current electricity. Based on the data gathered, it states

that there is a possibility that the charge box will be very helpful for everyone,

especially during emergencies.

CHAPTER 1

THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING


Introduction

The Philippines is a country where calamities are often experienced and the

problem is all of the electrical cables are exposed and can easily be damaged by

storms and other disasters. Another one is when large vehicles pass through roads

in the upland area that causes damage to electrical wirings and most of the time

the cause of power outages. In this project, the use of solar panels as an

emergency power source are built in a certain way called “Chargebox” for more

convenient use in times of emergencies where power sources are absent. By the

use of this product, the problem of power loss during emergencies has now an

immediate solution to help prevent more damages.

The main purpose of this study is to determine the capacity of the solar

panel and battery acting up as a backup power source. Considering its factors

which are the maximum voltage, hours of sunlight exposure required, and the

battery capacity. Objectively, this product aims to help lessen the burden brought

by the power loss. The “Chargebox” can also help provide power to certain areas

with limited electricity like mountains and forests. In these places, sunlight is most

likely available that is why this product will work as it intended to.

For times where there is an absence of sunlight, the battery with stored
C.
energy will be put to use and will provide electricity for a period of time. This product
R
can also help the people who live in upland areas. They usually are the ones who
e
experience a lack of power supplies. The benefits of this charge box are to provide
c
electricity when there is a power outage.
o

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY m

m
The concept of a solar originated from the work of a French scientist
e
Edmond Becquerel in 1839. He discovered the photovoltaic effect, wherein
n
electrons in a material are excited by light, creating electron-hole pairs that
d
generate electric current when separated by an electric field within the cell. This
at
process harnesses solar energy to produce electricity. Making a huge expansion
io
on scientists to make inventions, making an idea to create the Solar panel which
n
was invented by Charles Fritts in the year 1883, then this invention led us to make

even more projects to be created which lead us to the Portable Solar Charger.

The beneficial purpose of the Portable Solar Charger is to provide storable

energy, used as a backup during emergency, and environmental support. Having

a widely useful purpose during this scenario. Usually, people use a solar panel for

lights around streets but with enough study we can use it for multiple purposes.

R
The Portable Solar Charger represents a substantial solution to the critical
e
need for sustainable energy sources. With the global push towards renewable
c
energy, the portable solar charger offers a practical means of harnessing solar
o
energy from the sun for everyday uses. These devices, ranging from compact
m
panels to foldable kits, provide a convenient way to charge electronic devices such
m
as smartphones, tablets, and cameras while being away from the household. In
e
addition, the portability and accessibility of these chargers make them accessible
n
to a wide range of users, from outdoor enthusiasts to compassionate organizations
d
working in remote areas.
at

Their adjustability and environmental benefits emphasize their potential to io

drive meaningful change in how we power our devices and to lessen the n

environmental impact of energy consumption worldwide. An example is during

emergencies the average power source is only limited on time and that's where

our reliable portable charger comes in, keeping any essential devices or gadgets

charged or powered when needed.

EXISTING LITERATURE AND STUDIES

Theory about the importance of solar during emergencies c

o
RELATED LITERATURE
m
(Joly, Jean Pierre, 2021) Stated that the conversion of solar radiation into
m
heat and electricity is at the heart of any transition to sustainable energy systems.
e
But before delving into the review of various technologies for achieving this, an
n
exploration of the theoretical basis of this energy source is essential. Solar energy
d
plays a crucial role in disaster relief and emergency power, providing a reliable
at
source of electricity in the aftermath of natural disasters or other emergencies. In
io
many cases, power grids are damaged or destroyed in the wake of a disaster,
n
leaving people without access to electricity for essential needs like lighting,

refrigeration, and medical equipment, (ARKA 360, 2023).

The past decade has seen a variety of emergency situations including

earthquakes, tsunamis, nuclear disasters, hurricanes, typhoons, Ebola outbreaks,

cyclones, the recent COVID-19 pandemic, and other accidents and conflicts. Helen

RELATED STUDIES

Over the last few decades, climate change has led to a severe increase in R

natural disasters like hurricanes, flooding, tornadoes, and wildfires. This has e

caused many homes and businesses around the world to lose power for hours, c

days, and even weeks. Brownouts and blackouts limit public access to electricity o

during extreme weather conditions, leading many people to turn to solar power for m

disaster resilience. (Palmetto, 2022) m

e
In their study, Md Mahmudul Hasan, Abdullah Al Baker, and Imran Khan
n
(2023), explored the role of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems during emergencies,

such as wars or natural disasters, which has been rarely discussed in the literature

despite the established effectiveness of solar home systems (SHS) in providing

emergency situations including earthquakes, tsunamis, nuclear disasters,

n

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM d

at
Researchers found out that people who are in upland areas are having a hard time
io
getting power supplies because of the altitude, which affects the voltage in the
n
electric system. Since the wire of a utility pole gets disrupted by a strong wind, the

voltage level during the disruption can vary depending on the strength of the wind,

so the researchers thought of ways you can save energy. Researchers also found

out that people are using too much energy and that the world has a high level of

radiation, so this product can lessen the radiation that people who use too much

electricity emit. Another problem is that the electricity is more adequate because

of the human population.

percentage of the battery

4. The researchers recommended that the charge box must be handled with care,

especially on the inverter, solar, and battery.

D. Derived implications

The study shows that:

1. The product can be used for emergency cases like power outage and

natural disasters like flood or typhoons.

2. The product is portable enough to be an alternative source of energy for

isolated areas in the country

3. The product is more eco-friendly and environmentally safe than generator

and regular power bank.

4. The product is unique compared to the other existing market products.
