PROBLEM STATEMENT
Mostly with our busy schedules we hardly find time to charge our electrical devices,
specially our mobile phones.
The ideal time for us is during night hours.
But there’s a comparatively large amount of energy wasted once accumulated over and
over.
And on the other hand, there’s a high risk of our electrical device being damaged due to
overcharging and even fire risks.
