A company named buffalo grid has developed a solar powered cellphone charging station. wireless energy transfer technology is used to charge mobile. all you need to do is just send a message. the system can be very helpful for people living in rural areas. the battery of the cellphone derives its power from a solar panel via a technology called maximum power point tracking. a subscriber with say 90% charged battery level can transfer 40% of his battery level to a friend with less than 10% charged battery, and both of them can enjoy 50% charged batteries in their handsets thereafter In order to transfer or receive battery levels, a subscriber will have to register for this service with TRAI. TRAI will have “power sources” installed at various mobile towers in the country. The total power stored in these sources will be sufficient to fully charge all the registered mobiles once a day.
What is meant by MPPT???
