WORKING EXPLANATION
Solar mobile charger is a device which can charge mobile phones using
solar radiation. A solar panel converts solar energy into electrical energy.
Solar mobile charger regulates this electrical energy such that it could be
used to charge mobile phones.
This solar panel traps solar energy and produces an output voltage. But,
since the light radiations falling on the solar panel can vary, the output
voltage becomes unstable. For charging a mobile phone, stable voltage is
required. So, to make the output voltage stable and regulated, we use a
voltage regulator(IC7805) circuit along with the solar panel.
Solar mobile charger converts and regulates solar energy to 5V DC and the
output will be available through the USB connector.
IC7805 is used as a voltage regulator to maintain constant voltage. The last two
digit indicates the output voltage , so the output voltage here is 5 V. It is a three
terminal device having input, output and ground pin.
INPUT- In this pin of the IC positive unregulated voltage is given in
regulation. (7V-35V)
GROUND- In this pin where the ground is given. This pin is neutral
for equally the input and output.(0V)
