I plan to develop an innovative iPhone case integrated with a solar panel to provide sustainable and eco-friendly charging capabilities. The project will utilize monocrystalline or polycrystalline solar cells for efficient energy harvesting, a lithium-ion or lithium-polymer battery for energy storage, and a microcontroller to regulate power flow. The case will include durable, lightweight materials such as recycled polycarbonate or biodegradable PLA for the outer shell to ensure both functionality and environmental sustainability. Additional components, like USB-C or Lightning connectors and charge management ICs, will be incorporated to enable seamless device compatibility and safe charging. This design will prioritize efficiency, durability, and eco-consciousness to create a cutting-edge solution for renewable energy use in daily life.
