We proposed a cost efficient, environmentally friendly commercial solar powered phone charging station for application in rural areas. Sun energy is tapped using photovoltaic solar panel (PV), the system converts the tapped energy into electricity, charge controller regulates the generated energy, part of the generated electricity is used during the day and part stored in a battery to be used at period where there is less shun shine or absent. Cost analysis of the developed system suggested its almost free and noiseless when compared with the conventional generator powered system.
