1.0 Introduction
In the modern world of these days, there are a lot of issues about real life challenges that require
a creative solution. Nowadays it's very difficult to get electricity power. That is why we create
a product to get electricity power. Mini solar systems provide electricity in locations without
access to the grid, powering lights, small appliances, or communication devices. Since mini
solar panels are portable, one of the biggest benefits of the device has to do with this aspect.
They are much lighter than most solar panels, which can be easily transported and installed in
various places, which makes them ideal for individuals who require power, in other places and
then elsewhere. This mobility also makes them perfect for use during power outages; users will
be able to charge important devices with the gadgets.

2.0 Why We Create Mini Solar Panel
Portable solar cells are designed to meet the emerging needs of efficient, portable, and reusable
energy sources. Their creation has been influenced most by the need to be portable because
today’s devices are likely to be carried around or easily movable from one place to another.
Due to their portability, users can require solar energy in different outdoor situations like when
hiking, when picnicking or at construction sites. It suits the lifestyle that is presumably more
mobile and which needs easy access to wherever its activities are based at any one time.
The second reason why individuals should cultivate mini solar panels is readily
available. They serve as an entry point for individuals and families who want to adventure into
renewable energy system without needing the whole power system from solar. This
democratization of the solar technology also therefore enlists more individuals into to practice
of sustainable energy, thereby advancing a stronger movement to the green direction.
Flexibility is also important here. Portable solar panels are very versatile and can be used to
charge portable charging appliances such as mobile phones and tablets, as well as external
lights or other apparatus. This versatility is welcome by many people today, from hikers who
like to use their device for GPS navigation to those who want an extra, backup means of getting
online.
However, further important information should not be dismissed that is, the superb mini
solar panel is friendly to the environment. Through the use of the solar energy, they assist in
minimizing the use of fossil fuels hence negating the emission of green house gases hence
fixing the world. This accords with the current international trend to fight climate change and
environmental degradation.
Last but not the least; through the enhancement of the conversion plate, tiny solar panels
have been engineered. They also create the potential for additional work on related subjects
which in turn hopes to open the door for new areas and additional uses. In general, the
development of mini solar panels is an adequate answer to contemporary requirements for
energy and a concern for the environment and innovation.

3.0 Functions of Mini Solar Panel
Small portable solar power panels are usually utilized mainly for the purpose of converting the
light energy to electricity for use. These are PV panels that include solar cells that change the
light energy into direct DC electricity. This one starts when sunlight in the form of photons
strikes the cells in solar and dislodges the electrons thus giving an electrical current flow
process. A primary application of mini solar panels is in charging small uses electronic gadgets
or other appliances. They are mainly employed in charging portable devices such as laptops,
portable game consoles, communicators, notebooks, PDAs, digital cameras, and Mp3/MP4 and
are great for outdoor and traveling. Mini solar panels can often be hooked up to the devices
through USB ports which are available in most mini solar panels.
Furthermore, mini solar panels can be used in any power-requiring activity for instance
in the following: illuminating garden lights, in security cameras that are located outside or even
in appliances in a facility that is located in an area that does not have any access to power most
at times. These machines can be taken to many settings; they also deliver power where people
cannot get their power from the main power grid. This reason is especially important as they
also engage in disaster preparedness and response. In emergency situations such as blackouts,
or after any natural disaster where the electrical power supply is interrupted, mini solar panels
can act as backup power sources to keep more important devices functional.
In addition, mini solar panels come with in-built batteries or are compatible with other
portable battery packs. This feature enables users to have stored energy produced in the daytime
for use at night or during the plight of inadequate solar intensity, making this feature to increase
functionality and reliability.
More broadly, the role of mini solar panels is to offer a highly effective source of
renewable energy that drives a number of applications on a small scale and promote energy
self-sufficiency and green power.

6.0 Target Client and Price
Our main target clients are hostel students, teachers, and campaigners, with a price range of
RM20 to RM25. These groups often face unique challenges when it comes to consistent access
to electricity. By making mini solar panels an ideal solution for their day to day activities.

7.0 Conclusion
In conclusion, these target clients advantage from the product's ability to offer a dependable
alternative energy source, particularly in ranges with restricted or conflicting electricity access.
For teachers, it supports their work in remote situations; for hostel students, it gives a budget-
friendly implies of remaining connected; and for campaigners, it improves their capacity to
operate in outdoor or off-grid settings. Overall, the mini solar board could be a profitable,
sustainable item that addresses the energy needs of diverse clients.
