Summary:This paper focuses on the design, implementation, and experimental verification of a boost-type solar battery charger developed specifically for a home-based e-scooter solar charging station. The proposed charger utilizes a boost converter topology, enabling effective power conversion from a solar panel to the e-scooter battery. The design process involves careful selection of components, determination of optimal parameters, and consideration of the charging requirements specific to e-scooter batteries. The system was subjected to different solar irradiance levels and ambient temperatures to simulate real-world scenarios. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the boost type solar battery charger in harnessing solar energy to efficiently charge e-scooter battery. The proposed boost type charger offers a practical and environmentally friendly solution for charging e-scooter batteries, reducing reliance on grid electricity and promoting renewable energy utilization. The results obtained from this study serve as a valuable reference for further research and development in the field of solar battery chargers for e-scooters, facilitating the transition towards greener transportation options.
