UniverSOL Charge Station.

Welcome to UniverSOL Charge Station: a solar power phone charging station which uses Maximum Power Point Tracking (MTTP) to maximizes the efficiency of the overall system. The UniverSOL Charge Station uses a touch screen for user interface and reserving a locker, which includes added security in the form of a PIN. The UniverSOL Charge Station was a Senior Design project for the University of Central Florida Electrical and Computer Engineering department. Our project was sponsored by Duke Energy and Leidos.
