Catalan Article History Received: 06 June 2023 Revised: 05 Sept 2023 Accepted: 17 Nov 2023 CC License CC-BY-NC-SA 4.0 Abstract This study centers on the creation of a cutting-edge coin-operated mobile gadget charging station, harnessing the inexhaustible power of solar energy via an integrated storage battery. The primary objective is to champion solar energy as a sustainable off-grid power source with boundless growth potential. Moreover, this innovative solution extends its utility to the commercial realm, where users can access it for a nominal fee, ensuring their mobile gadgets remain charged for specified periods. In addition to its commercial viability, this charging station also serves as a crucial lifeline during unforeseen calamities and prolonged power outages, offering an essential emergency charging station. Its self-sufficient design allows it to continually charge mobile devices in the presence of sunlight. Whether it's day or night, the coin-operated mobile gadget charging station stands ready to power up small electronics and mobile devices, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity.

Introduction Renewable power generation can help countries meet their sustainable development goals through provision of access to clean, secure, reliable and affordable energy. Solar technology is very popular nowadays and growing day by day (Lohani et al., 2023). Solar powered gadgets are also taking attention of people and a use of solar energy is taking places where no electric power is available but also in cities. Many countries are aggressively producing renewable energy nowadays (Liet al., 2023). On December 16, 2008, during the Second Regular Session of the Fourteenth Congress Republic Act No. 9513 also known as the Renewable Energy Act of 2008 was enacted. “An Act Promoting the Development, Utilization and Commercialization of Renewable Energy Resources and for Other Purposes” which aims in its declaration of policy the following: (a) accelerate the exploration and development of renewable energy resources such as, but not limited to, biomass, solar, wind, hydro, geothermal and ocean energy sources, including hybrid systems, to achieve energy self-reliance, through the adoption of sustainable energy development strategies to reduce the country's dependence on fossil fuels and thereby minimize the country's exposure to price fluctuations in the international markets, the effects of which spiral down to almost all sectors of the economy; (b) increase the utilization of renewable energy by institutionalizing the development of national and local capabilities in the use of renewable energy systems, and promoting its efficient and cost-effective commercial application by providing fiscal and non-fiscal incentives; (c) encourage the development and utilization of renewable energy resources as tools to effectively prevent or reduce harmful emissions and thereby balance the goals of economic growth and development with the protection of health and the environment; and (d) establish the necessary infrastructure and mechanism to carry out the mandates specified in this act and other existing laws. Governments across the Asia Pacific region is continuing the push for greater renewable energy contributions to domestic electricity demand (Millison et al., 2022). While the deal flow has been lower than expected over the last six months, there have been positive signs in several countries that local developers are very active at the approval level. International developers are increasingly taking
