Abstract

In the paper the circuit to charge mobile electronic devices and the results of measurements of this circuit are presented. The construction of the presented circuit is analysed and the influence of the selection of the photovoltaic panel and optical power density on its surface on current efficiency of the considered circuit are discussed. The directions of the development of the worked out and constructed circuit are pointed.
