Abstract
Educational institutions are increasingly looking for sustainable and innovative solutions, and incorporating renewable energy into classrooms offers a promising opportunity. This paper examines the development of a portable solar-powered system designed specifically for educational use. The system aims to deliver a dependable and environmentally friendly energy source for classroom technologies and activities, thus improving learning environments and supporting sustainability. The design involved selecting efficient solar panels, robust energy storage, and intuitive interfaces for ease of use. The production focused on enhancing the system's portability, durability, and energy efficiency. Successfully implementing this system can decrease reliance on traditional power sources, reduce energy costs, and expand access to technology in under-resourced schools. The paper also addresses potential challenges, such as limitations in energy output and maintenance issues, and proposes future enhancements to improve the system’s performance and versatility in various educational settings.
