ABSTRACT: This study is focused on the development of a cell phone charging station that is solely operated through solar power by means of a solar cell which is attached to the charging station through a backup storage battery. The device is mainly aimed for commercial use since it can require a certain fee for a specified period to charge a mobile phone. However, in case of calamities the charging station can be used as an emergency charging station in the event of prolonged power outages. Since the device is a standalone system it can charge mobile phone as long as there is sunlight. Even during night time, the device can still charge phone as long as the battery still has power.
