In recent years, the need for efficient and sustainable energy solutions has become increasingly important. One potential solution is the use of solar power for battery charging systems. In this project, an Arduino-based solar-powered battery charging system is designed and implemented. The system consists of a solar panel that collects energy from the sun, an Arduino microcontroller that regulates the battery's charging, and a battery that stores the energy for later use. The solar panel converts sunlight into DC electrical energy, which is then fed to the battery through a charging circuit. The implementation of this system is fairly straightforward. The solar panel is connected to an input pin of the Arduino microcontroller, which then controls the charging of the battery through a charging circuit connected to an output pin. The charging circuit is designed to limit the charging current and voltage to prevent damage to the battery.
