CHAPTER 1

THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE

Rationale

Each year, the society spends a large amount of its energy resources and

a significant fraction of these energy resources consists of fossil fuels which were

created several hundred million years ago and are non-renewable. A significant

amount of energy is being rejected to the ambient in the electricity generation

and the transportation sectors. This is due to the inefficient utilization of energy

resources and system inefficiencies.

Our world has an incredible source of solar energy. The sun, a star, is a

fusion reactor that continues to burn for more than 4 billion years. It has enough

energy to meet the energy needs of the world in a minute. Within a day, it

present more energy than the current population will consume in 27 years.

The researchers made up their mind to conduct the study about “Solar-

Powered Power Bank” since the researchers observe that global warming is

slowly Increasing and our weather today is very hot as a result of the increase in

electricity bills. This device can save electricity, and the people can conserve

electricity too. Many people can benefit from this device.

Background of the Study

The solar energy is the transformation of heat energy that comes

from the sun to electricity. It has been used for thousands of years in many

different ways by people all over the world. As well as its traditional human uses

in heating, cooking, and drying, it is used to make electricity where other

power supplies are absent, such as in remote places and in space. It is

is now competitive energy from coal or oil. A solar cooker can be used for

cooking food.

Solar power helps to slow or stop global warming. Global warming

Threatens the survival of human society, as well as the survival of countless

species. Luckily, decades or even centuries of research have led to efficient

panel systems that create electricity without producing global warming pollution.

Solar power is now very clearly one of the most important solutions to the global

warming crisis.

Solar power provides reliability energy. The rising and setting of

the sun is extremely consistent. All over the world, the researchers know exactly

when it will rise and set every day of the year. While clouds may be a bit less

predictable, the researchers do also have fairly-good seasonal and daily

projections for the amount of sunlight that will be received in different locations.

All in all, this makes solar power an extremely reliable source of energy.
 Solar power provides energy security. On top of the above

reliability benefit, no one can go and buy the sun or turn sunlight into a monopoly.

Combined with the simplicity of solar panels, this also provides the notable solar

power advantage of energy security, something the US military has pointed out

for years, and a major reason why it is also putting a lot of its money into the

development and installation of solar power systems.

The researchers want to invent a “Solar Powered Power Bank”

because the researchers observed that our generation need this device,

especially to the people who travels far or people who lives in places where it

lacks electricity like provinces. With this device we can help many people.
Statement of the Problem:

This research aims to determine the effectiveness of “Solar-Powered

Power Bank “ to use in charging gadgets.

1) How long does the “Solar-Powered Power Bank” take to be fully

charged?

2) What is the estimated time does the “Solar-Powered Power Bank”

drained?

3) Is the “Solar-Powered Power Bank “ safe to use?

Formulating the Hypothesis:

These are the possible answers to the questions that are stated above

Ha1) If the researchers will charge the Solar-Powered power bank in a direct

sunlight,it will be fully charged in a short period of time but if the reearchers will

charge it without direct sunlight it may have the possibilities to charge slower.

“Solar-Powered Power Bank “,the faster it charge but if it is sunrise or sunset the

slower it will be charged.

Ha2) The estimated time that the battery of the “Solar-Powered Power Bank” is

2-3 hours.

Ha3) The “Solar-Powered Power Bank” is safe to use for it is portable. So

charging them completely takes a significant amount of power.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

The results of the study will be of great benefit to the following:

Students. The results will help the students if they’re gadgets are in low

battery and they really need this for their researches or when they are having

their practices outside. They can use this device to recharge their gadgets.

Parents. The results will help the parents in consuming electricity in their

house. It is also easy to use and it is not prone to fire accidents. They can bring

it everywhere, also it is safe to use.

Travelers. The results will help the travelers capture the views they are

going without getting distracted by the low battery percentage. This device also

help the travelers during emergencies. And the travelers don’t need outlets to

charge your gadgets and it is also portable to them.

Future Researchers. The results will help the Future Researchers get some

ideas and improve this study.And make this product safer.

Scope and Limitation of the Study

The study focuses to produce solar energy to charge gadget.

Furthermore, the study also aimed to reduce usage of electricity which can

decrease the cost of their electric bills.

However, this study has limitations such as it cannot be used underwater

and it cannot be used while playing gadgets.

Definition of Terms

Power Bank- A power bank is a portable charger designed to recharge your

electronic gadgets when you're on the move.Power banks can be defined as

portable batteries that use circuitry to control any power in and power out.

Solar Energy-Solar energy, radiation from the Sun capable of producing heat,

causing chemical reactions, or generating electricity. The total amount of solar

energy incident on Earth is vastly in excess of the world's current and

anticipated energy requirements.

Gadgets-a small mechanical or electronic device or tool, especially an

 ingenious or novel one.

Solar Panel-a panel designed to absorb the sun's rays as a source of energy

for generating electricity or heating.

Definition of terms

Power bank- In this present study, power bank means the solar powered charger.

Solar Energy- In this present study, solar energy means the source where the

“Solar-Powered Power Bank” get’s it”s own energy from the rays of the sun.
