Abstract

This paper presents a wireless power transmission technology from solar energy to efficiently charge a phone battery. The idea was derived from the issues of the cable supply costs for needs in wired charging as well as the limited non-renewable energy resources for electricity supplies. This paper proposed a solar power wireless charging system for mobile phones which should be able to monitor the presence of solar power displayed on the liquid–crystal display (LCD) I2C. The system is composed of an Arduino Uno as a microcontroller, photovoltaic (PV) solar panel, both primary and secondary copper coils at the transmitter and receiver (transceiver) circuits, LC-tuned circuit and a power-charging unit. The PV solar panel converts solar energy into electrical energy. For wireless power transmission, magnetic resonant coupling based on the Faraday law was utilized at the transceiver coils. The LC-tuned circuit was designed to resonate at 900 ± 15 kHz. The result indicated the electricity supplies from the solar charging corresponded to the solar energy source in terms of time taken, environment and weather per day. The proposed system has been designed to charge a phone battery without a physical connection and the need for a power plug. Solar-based renewable energy for wireless power transmission will be the charging solution of the future in the modern era.
