    Description

    When camping, access to electricity is often unreliable. The aim of this project is to design and prototype a solar panel battery charging system for small electronics in remote locations. The system requirements are to have two stable DC voltage outputs (5 V and 13.8 V), be able to withstand continual use, and have a small footprint. The design techniques are formed by power electronic principles and implemented to create two isolated circuits for converting and stabilizing the current generated by the solar panels. The device prototype is tested to verify it functions as intended. The final deliverables of this project are a functional device, test data in various weather conditions, and a live demonstration of the device granted the goals of the project are successfully achieved.
