INTRODUCTION
Mobiles play an important role in peoples everyday life and lots of
communications are relayed through a mobile. The mobile charger is important
accessory for its trouble free and efficient usage of various mobile activities.
General problem that arises in mobile is quick discharge. While browsing the
features in mobile continuously, battery gets discharged quickly and in such cases
solar powered mobile chargers can be a better alternative to electrical mobile
chargers.
The solar charger can be powered via sun with a USB cable or directly to
the wall.
The utility of this development is mainly aimed at convenience of the user at
following limitations.
Not having charging adaptor
Not having electrical connections.
Not having sufficient sunlight.
The various advantages of using solar energy over electrical energy in chargingthe mobile are
It saves electrical energy.
It is pollution free, natural and free of cost.
Solar energy is renewable.
Solar energy is also abundant and
It prevents global warming.
The project outlines the manufacturing of solar charger to charge the mobile
using solar energy instead of electrical energy.

1.PHOTOVOLTAIC CELL
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The early development of solar technologies started in the year 1860s was driven
by an expectation that coal would soon become scarce. However development of solar
technologies stagnated in the early 20th century in the face of the increasing availability,
economy, and utility of coal and petroleum.
The term "photovoltaic" comes from the Greek (photo) meaning "light", and
"voltaic", meaning electric, from the name of the Italian physicist VOLTAafter whom
a unit of electro-motive force, the volt is named. The term "photo-voltaic" has been in usein English since 1849.
In 1839, nineteen-year-old Edmund Becquerel, while experimenting with an
electrolytic cell made up of two metal electrodes found that certain materials would
produce small amounts of electric current when exposed to light. The photovoltaic cell
was developed in 1954 at Bell Laboratories.
The highly efficient solar cell was first developed by Daryl Chapin,
Calvin Souther Fuller and Gerald Pearson in 1954 using diffused silicon
p-n junction.
The sun is 150 million km from the earth and is 5 billion years old. The
temperature of the sun ranges from 6000 degrees Celsius at its surface to 10 million
degrees Celsius at its centre. It takes about 8 minutes for the light energy to touch the
earth.
The sun is a star made up of hydrogen and helium gas and it radiates an
enormous amount of energy every second and it is clean. Solar poweris the conversion
of sunlight into electricity either directly using photovoltaic (PV), or indirectly using
concentrated solar power (CSP). CSP systems use lenses or mirrors and tracking systemsto focus a large area of sunlight into a small beam. PV converts light into electric current
using the photoelectric effect.
Most commercially available solar cells are capable of producing electricity for at
least twenty years without a significant decrease in efficiency. The typical warranty given
by panel manufacturers is for a period of 25 30 years, wherein the output shall not fall
below a specified percentage (around 80%) of the rated capacity.

1.2 PRINCIPLE OF PV CELL
Solar cell works on the principle of photovoltaic effect. Sunlight is composed of
photons, or "packets" of energy. These photons contain various amounts of energy
corresponding to the different wavelengths of light. When photons strike a solar cell, they
may be reflected or absorbed, or they may pass right through. When a photon is absorbed,
the energy of the photon is transferred to an electron in an atom of the cell (which is
actually a semiconductor). With its new found energy, the electron is able to escape from
its normal position associated with that atom to become part of the current in an electrical
circuit.
Each cell is made of two layers with a barrier in between them. The first layer(Layer A) contains electrons that are free to move to the second layer (Layer B). The
Layer B wants these electrons more than the first layer.
Layer A electrons will migrate to
Layer B automatically, no sunlight
needed. Layer B now has the extra
electrons. However, while layer B has a
better grip on these electrons that Layer
A, it can still lose them. This is due to
the pull of the nucleus on theelectrons. So when sunlight hits Layer
B the electrons are dislodged. Their
natural response is to try to go back to
the positively charged Layer A; they do
this because they can now move.
This is where the barrier layer
comes in. This is a one-way gate for the
electrons to go from Layer A to Layer
B but NOT the other way. The only way for the electrons to get back to Layer A isthrough the wire joining the two. So a photovoltaic solar cell or panel of cells will only
generate electricity if it is connected to a circuit; otherwise it will just heat up in the sun.
Once the electrons have done some work, they will have lost the energy that the
sunlight provided them with and they will return, exhausted, to Layer A where they go
back to their parent metal atoms. As soon as they get there they feel the pull of Layer B
and off they go again, for another round.

Fig 1: Principle of PV Cell
If n- and p-silicon are combined, the differently charged free charge carriers
are attracted to each other, move into the respective neighbouring area and so charge it
with electricity. A strong, inner electric field is created at the boundary layer, theP-n crossover. When illuminated, this field will separate the created charge carriers and a
voltage of approx. 0.5 V is created at the outer contacts. The p-n-crossover ensures that
the charge carriers created by the light do not join up again, but can be used as current.
Silicon solar cells are differentiated from untreated, extremely clean semiconductor
material by two main stages: doping and p-n-crossover.
If small quantities of foreign atoms are introduced into the silicon: ("doping"),
free moving charge carriers are created according to the type of atoms. Phosphorus atoms
lead to free electrons (n-silicon), boron to free holes (p-silicon). Doping thereforeprovides free charge carriers in otherwise isolated silicon.

1.3 ELECTRIC MODEL OF PHOTOVOLTAIC CELL
Thus the simplest equivalent circuit of a solar cell is a current source in parallel with a
diode. The output of the current source is directly proportional to the light falling on the cell
(photocurrent Iph). During darkness, the solar cell is not an active device; it works as a
diode, i.e. a p-n junction. It produces neither a current nor a voltage. However, if it is
connected to an external supply (large voltage) it generates a current ID, called diode (D)
current or dark current. The diode determines the I-V characteristics of the cell.

Fig 3: Electrical model of PV Cell
Semiconductors, characterized as being perfect insulators at absolute zero,
become increasingly conductive as temperature is increased. As temperature becomes
greater, sufficient energy is transferred to a small fraction of electrons, causing them to
move from the valence band to the conduction band and holes to move from the
conduction band to the valence band. The increase in temperature responsible for this
entire process is a direct result of external energy in the case of PV systems, it is incident
photons due to illumination.
Under the photoelectric effect, because photons incident upon a p-n diode can
create electron-hole pairs at a cross material junction, an electric potential difference
across this junction can be established. Under no illumination, electrons and holes are
separated at n and p regions respectively due to the diode characteristic unidirectional
current path. When illuminated, PV cells are impacted by incident photons which
bombard cell electrons creating electron hole pairs. These electron hole pairs then
separate in response to the electric field created by the cell junction, causing electrons to
drift back into the n region, and holes into the p region. A bidirectional current path is
created and energy can be harnessed.

1.4 MANUFACTURING OF SOLAR CELLS
Properties of silicon:

Atomic mass 28.0855 g.mol-1
Electronegativity according to Pauling 1.8
Density 2.33 g.cm-3
at 20 C
Melting point 1410 C

Vanderwaals radius 0.132 nm
Ionic radius 0.271 (-4) nm ; 0.041(+4)
Isotopes 5
There are two main reasons why silicon is used for manufacturing solar cells.One is
that silicon is an elemental semiconductor with good stability and a well balanced set of
electronic ,physical and chemical properties,the same set of strengths that have made
silicon the preferred material for microelectronics. The molecular structure of single-
crystal silicon is uniform. This uniformity is ideal for the transfer of electrons efficiently
through the material. However, in order to make an effective photovoltaic cell, silicon
needs to be "doped" with other elements.
Raw Materials
The basic component of a solar cell is pure silicon, which is not pure in its
natural state.

Fig 5: Raw Materials
To make solar cells, the raw materialssilicon dioxide of either quartzite
gravel or crushed quartzare first placed into an electric arc furnace, where a carbon arcis applied to release the oxygen. The products are carbon dioxide and molten silicon. At
this point, the silicon is still not pure enough to be used for solar cells and requires further
purification.
Pure silicon is derived from such silicon dioxides as quartzite gravel (the
purest silica) or crushed quartz. The resulting pure silicon is then doped (treated with)
with phosphorous and boron to produce an excess of electrons and a deficiency of
electrons respectively to make a semiconductor capable of conducting electricity. The
silicon disks are shiny and require an anti-reflective coating, usually titanium dioxide.
The solar module consists of the silicon semiconductor surrounded by protective
material in a metal frame. The protective material consists of an encapsulant of
transparent silicon rubber or butyryl plastic (commonly used in automobile windshields)
bonded around the cells, which are then embedded in ethylene vinyl acetate. A polyester
film (such as Mylar or tedlar) makes up the backing. A glass cover is found on terrestrial
arrays, a lightweight plastic cover on satellite arrays.
Purifying the silicon
The silicon dioxide of either quartzite gravel or crushed quartz is placed into an
electric arc furnace. A carbon arc is then applied to release the oxygen. The
-

products are carbon dioxide and molten silicon. This simple process yields silicon
with one percent impurity, useful in many industries but not the solar cell industry.
The 99 percent pure silicon is purified even further using the floating zone
technique. A rod of impure silicon is passed through a heated zone several times in
the same direction. This procedure "drags" the impurities toward one end with
each pass. At a specific point, the silicon is deemed pure, and the impure end is
removed.
Making single crystal silicon
Solar cells are made from silicon boules, polycrystalline structures that have the
atomic structure of a single crystal. The most commonly used process for creating
the boule is called the Czochralski method. In this process, a seed crystal of silicon
is dipped into melted polycrystalline silicon. As the seed crystal is withdrawn and
rotated, a cylindrical ingot or "boule" of silicon is formed. The ingot withdrawn is
unusually pure, because impurities tend to remain in the liquid.
Making silicon wafers
From the boule, silicon wafers are sliced one at a time using a circular saw whose
inner diameter cuts into the rod, or many at once with a multiwire saw. (Adiamond saw produces cuts that are as wide as the wafer. 5 millimeter thick.)
Only about one-half of the silicon is lost from the boule to the finished circular
wafermore if the wafer is then cut to be rectangular or hexagonal. Rectangular
or hexagonal wafers are sometimes used in solar cells because they can be fitted
together perfectly, thereby utilizing all available space on the front surface of the
solar cell.

After the initial purification, the silicon is further refined in a floating zone
process. In this process, a silicon rod is passed through a heated zone several times,which serves to 'drag" the impurities toward one end of the rod. The impure end can
then be removed.

Next, a silicon seed crystal is put into a Czochralski growth apparatus, where
it is dipped into melted polycrystalline silicon. The seed crystal rotates as it is
withdrawn, forming a cylindrical ingot of very pure silicon. Wafers are then sliced out
of the ingot.
The wafers are then polished to remove saw marks. (It has recently been found
that rougher cells absorb light more effectively, therefore some manufacturers have
chosen not to polish the wafer.)
Doping
The traditional way of doping (adding impurities to) silicon wafers with boron and
phosphorous is to introduce a small amount of boron during the Czochralski process.
Properties of Boron:

The wafers are then sealed back to back and placed in a furnace to be heated to
slightly below the melting point of silicon (2,570 degrees Fahrenheit or 1,410
degrees Celsius) in the presence of phosphorous gas. The phosphorous atoms
"burrow" into the silicon, which is more porous because it is close to becoming a
liquid. The temperature and time given to the process is carefully controlled to
ensure a uniform junction of proper depth. A more recent way of doping silicon
with phosphorous is to use a small particle accelerator to shoot phosphorous ions
into the ingot. By controlling the speed of the ions, it is possible to control their
penetrating depth. This new process, however, has generally not been accepted by
commercial manufacturers.
Properties of Phosphorous:
Atomic number 15
Atomic mass 30,9738 g.mol-1
Density 1,82 g/ml at 20C
Melting point 44,2 C
Boiling point 280 C
Placing electrical contacts
Electrical contacts connect each solar cell to another and to the receiver of
produced current. The contacts must be very thin (at least in the front) so as not toblock sunlight to the cell. Metals such as palladium/silver, nickel, or copper are
vacuum-evaporated.

Fig 6: Makeup of a typical solar cell
This illustration shows the makeup of a typical solar cell. The cells are
encapsulated in ethylene vinyl acetate and placed in a metal frame that has a Mylar
back sheet and glass cover through a photo resist, silk screened, or merely
deposited on the exposed portion of cells that have been partially covered with
wax. All three methods involve a system in which the part of the cell on which a
contact is not desired is protected, while the rest of the cell is exposed to the metal.
-
8/10/2019 Mobile Main Report Doc
16/48
16
After the contacts are in place, thin strips ("fingers") are placed between
cells. The most commonly used strips are tin-coated copper.
The anti-reflective coating
Because pure silicon is shiny, it can reflect up to 35 percent of the sunlight. To
reduce the amount of sunlight lost, an anti-reflective coating is put on the silicon wafer.
The most commonly used coatings are titanium dioxide and silicon oxide, though
others are used. The material used for coating is either heated until its molecules boil off
and travel to the silicon and condense, or the material undergoes sputtering. In this
process, a high voltage knocks molecules off the material and deposits them onto the
silicon at the opposite electrode.Yet another method is to allow the silicon itself to react
with oxygen- or nitrogen-containing gases to form silicon dioxide or silicon nitride.
Commercial solar cell manufacturers use silicon nitride.
Encapsulating the cell
The finished solar cells are then encapsulated; that is, sealed into silicon rubber or
ethylene vinyl acetate. The encapsulated solar cells are then placed into an aluminum
frame that has a Mylar or tedlar back sheet and a glass or plastic cover.
Types of Solar cells
Monocrystalline silicon(c-Si):often made using the Czochralski process. Single-
crystal wafer cells tend to be expensive, and because they are cut from cylindrical
ingots, do not completely cover a square solar cell module without a substantial
waste of refined silicon. Hence most c-Si panels have uncovered gaps at the four
corners of the cells.
Poly- or multicrystalline silicon (poly-Si or mc-Si): made from cast square
ingots large blocks of molten silicon carefully cooled and solidified. Poly-Si cells
are less expensive to produce than single crystal silicon cells, but are less efficient.
Ribbon silicon is a type of multicrystalline silicon: it is formed by drawing flat
thin films from molten silicon and results in a multicrystalline structure. These
cells have lower efficiencies than poly-Si, but save on production costs due to a
great reduction in silicon waste, as this approach does not require sawing from
ingots.

1.6 APPLICATIONS
For low-power portable electronics, like calculators or small fans, a
photovoltaic array may be a reasonable energy source rather than a battery.
Although using photovoltaics lowers the cost (over time) of the device to the user-
who will never need to buy batteries-the cost of manufacturing devices with
photovoltaic arrays is generally higher than the cost of manufacturing devices to
which batteries must be added. Therefore, the initial cost of photovoltaic devices is
often higher than battery-operated devices.
In other situations, such as solarbattery chargers, watches, and flashlights, the
photovoltaic array is used to generate electricitythat is then stored in batteries foruse later.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS
Solar Semiconductor employs equipment that can handle 160 micron cells, 2Busbar and 3 Busbar cells. The Tabber is used to interconnect cells in a
string, uses vacuum suction cups to pick cells and an IR camera to check for
any cell breakages.
The advanced automation unit at Solar Semiconductor comes with Twin
Robot System. These Robotic systems speed up the manufacturing processand enhance efficiency. It also helps in increasing productivity, minimizing
errors and life cycle costs.

The encapsulation process involves vacuum pressing the array sandwich(glass EVA array EVA backsheet). The pressing melts the fast cure
0.33mm EVA, which then acts as an adhesive and bonds the backsheet andthe glass sheet with the cell array to make it weather and dust proof.
The laminate is trimmed and then taped with a double sided adhesive foamtape. The temperature is maintained at 140 degree centigrade for lamination.
This trimmed laminate is then framed using an in-house developed
automatic frame-fitter. This is followed by junction box fitting, which is
done manually.
The testing for electrical parameters is done by using the most advancedclass AAA - pulsed type Sun Simulators.
The Reliability Testing Lab has been set up for in-house testing of prototypemodules and new materials. It enables self-certification of products and
speeds up new process qualification and certification process.
Quality control at Solar Semiconductor is done through checks on incomingraw material and on the manufacturing process. In order to enhance the
effectiveness and ensure total quality control, various quality concepts likeQuality circles and Kaizen are being practiced.

2. SOLAR MOBILE CHARGER UNIT
Portable Solar Mobile Charger for mobile phone can be charged with Sun
light, and electrical power. It stores power from the sun and lets you charge mobilephone, iPod, etc at your convenience.
PV cell converts light into electric current using the photo electric effect.
In photo electric effect electrons emitted from the matter (metals and nonmetals,
liquids and gases)as a consequence of their absorption of energy 4m
electromagnetic radiation of very short wavelength such as ultraviolet or visible
light.
The photons of light beam have a characteristic energy determined by the
(frequency of light).In the photon emission process if an electron with in some
material absorbs the energy the energy of 1 photon and thus has more energy than
the work function (the electron binding energy) of the material is ejected. If photon
energy is low the electron is unable to escape 4m the material.
Increasing the intensity of the light beam increases the number of photons
in the light beam and thus increase the number of electrons emitted but doesnt
increase the energy that each electron possesses.
The energy of the emitted electron doesnt depend on the light intensity
of the incoming light but only on the energy or frequency of the individual
photons. It is an interaction between the incident photon and the outermost
electron.

3. MOBILE BATTERY
A lithium-ion battery(Li-ion batteryor LIB) is a family of rechargeable battery
types in which lithiumions move from the negative electrodeto the positive electrode
during discharge, and back when charging. Chemistry, performance, cost, and safety
characteristics vary across LIB types. Unlike lithium primary batteries (which are
disposable), lithium-ion electrochemical cells use an intercalated lithium compound as
the electrode material instead of metallic lithium.

3.1 ELECTRICAL MODEL FOR LI-ION BATTERY
Safety circuits inside a Li-Ion battery pack:
Inside a Li-Ion pack there is always a safety circuit that consists of four main sections:
The controller IC that monitors each cell (or parallel cells) voltage and preventsthe cells to overcharge or over discharge controlling accordingly the cutoff
switches. Also the voltage across the switches is monitors in order to prevent over
current.
The control switches that usually comprises FET structures that cutoff the chargeor discharge depending on the control signals of the controller IC.

The temperature fuse that cutoff the current if the control switches experienceabnormal heating. This fuse is not recoverable.
The thermistor (usually PTC) that measure the battery temperature inside the pack.It's terminals are connected to the charger so it can sense the temperature of the
pack and control the charge current until the battery it's full charged.

3.3 STRUCTURE
Li-Ion cell has a tree layer structure. A positive electrode plate (made with LithiumCobalt oxide - cathode), a negative electrode plate (made with specialty carbon - anode)
and a separator layer.
Inside the battery also exists a electrolyte which is a lithium salt in an organic
solvent. I-Ion is also equipped with a variety of safety measures and protective
electronics and/or fuses to prevent reverse polarity, over voltage and over heating and
also have a pressure release valve and a safety vent to prevent battery from burst.

3.4 WORKING PRINCIPLE
Lithium battery uses lithium cobalt oxide as positive electrode - cathode - and a
high crystallized special carbon as negative electrode - anode. Also an organic solvent
specialized to be used with the specific carbon works like electrolytic fluid.
The chemical reaction that takes place inside the battery is as follows, during charge
and discharge operation:
The main principle behind the chemical reaction is one where lithium in
positive electrode material is ionized during charge and moves from layer to layer in the
negative electrode.

3.5 FEATURES OF LITHIUM ION BATTERIES
High energy density that reaches 400 Wh/L (volumetric energy density) or
160Wh/Kg (mass energy density)
High voltage. Nominal voltage of 3,6V or even 3,7V on newer Li-Ion batteries.

No memory effect. Can be charged any time, but they are not as durable as NiMH
and NiCd batteries.
High charge currents (0,5-1A) that lead to small charging times (around 2-4
hours).
Flat discharge voltage allowing the device to stable power throughout the
discharge period.
Typical charging Voltage 4,2 0,05V.
Charging method: constant current - constant voltage (CV-CC).
Typical operation voltage 2,8V to 4,2V
Recommended temperature range 0-40
3.6 CHARGING CHARECTERISTICS
Charging method is constant current - constant voltage (CV-CC). This means
charging with constant current until the 4.2V are reached by the cell (or 4,2V x the
number of cells connected in series) and continuing with constant voltage until the
current drops to zero.
The charge time depends on the charge level of the battery and varies from 2-4
hours for full charge. Also Li-Ion cannot fast charge as this will increase their
temperature above limits. Charging time increases at lower temperatures.

3.7 WORKING PROCESS
A battery charger is basically a DC power supply source. Here a transformer isused to step down the AC mains input voltage to the required level as per the
rating of the transformer.
This transformer is always a high power type and is able to produce a high current
output as required by most lead-acid batteries.
A bridge rectifier configuration is used to rectify the low voltage AC into DC and
is further smoothed by a high value electrolytic capacitor.
This DC is fed to an electronic circuit which regulates the voltage into a constant
level and is applied to the battery under charge, where the energy is stored through
an internal process of chemical reaction.
In automatic battery chargers a voltage sensor circuit is incorporated to sense the
voltage of the battery under charge. The charger is automatically switched OFF
when the battery voltage reaches the required optimum level.
Calculation of Charging or discharging time of a Battery
The rated current capacity of a chargeable battery may vary according to its
applications. Its current holding capacity is expressed in ampere-hour (AH). This
unit of measurement may be defined as the maximum current through which the
particular battery can be fully charged or discharged in one hour.
If for example a 4 AH fully charged battery is discharged at 4 ampere rate, then
ideally it should take an hour for it to get fully discharged (but practically it can be
seen that the back up time is much less than an hour due to the existing
inefficiency in all batteries).
Similarly if the same battery is charged at 4 ampere rate, then it should take an
hour to get it fully charged. But its never a good practice to charge or discharge
batteries at their full current ratings.

Ideally the charging and the discharging process should be carried out gradually
for about 10 hours. So to find out the optimum charging current of a battery, just
divide its AH by 10, the same is true to find its correct continuous discharge rate.
3.8 ADVANTAGE
One great advantage of Li-Ion batteries is their low self-discharge rate of only
approximately 5% per month, compared with over 30% per month and 20% per month in
nickel metal hydride batteries and nickel cadmium batteries respectively.
