Jan 1, 2025 · To provide a portable charging solution across diverse sectors, this paper proposes an innovative development of a solar-powered multi-functional portable charging device
Mobility of charging stations and devices is challenged during power intermittency. A solar-powered enhanced solution towards portable charging and power monitoring applications. An integrated solution which addresses emergency situations and disaster management.
The proposed research embarks on a comprehensive exploration of the (1) design, (2) implementation, and (3) impact assessment of an advanced solar-powered multi-functional portable charging device (SPMFPCD) . This SPMFPCD is not merely a conventional power source.
Pass-through charging is a feature found in many portable power stations that allows you to charge the power station’s battery while simultaneously charging connected devices. This means that you can recharge the power station and power your devices at the same time, maximizing efficiency and convenience.
This highlights the critical need for reliable and multi-functional power solutions. To provide a portable charging solution across diverse sectors, this paper proposes an innovative development of a solar-powered multi-functional portable charging device (SPMFPCD) with internet- of-thing (IoT)-based monitoring capabilities.
Safety should always be a priority when dealing with electrical devices. Portable power stations with pass-through charging often come with built-in safety features such as surge protection, short circuit protection, and temperature control. These features ensure the safety of both the power station and your connected devices.
In the absence of portable charging devices, sectors such as transportation, communication, and emergency services deal with various challenges towards electric power needs while compromising on (1) operational efficiency, (2) insufficient portable charging solutions, and (3) limited versatility.
The global residential solar storage and inverter market is experiencing rapid expansion, with demand increasing by over 300% in the past three years. Home energy storage solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new residential solar installations worldwide. North America leads with 38% market share, driven by homeowner energy independence goals and federal tax credits that reduce total system costs by 26-30%. Europe follows with 32% market share, where standardized home storage designs have cut installation timelines by 55% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets are adopting residential storage for backup power and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 4-7 years. Modern home installations now feature integrated systems with 10-30kWh capacity at costs below $700/kWh for complete residential energy solutions.
