4. 470uF Capacitor
5. 5v Step Up Converter
Step 2: Something About Solar Panel
This mini Solar panel generates of about 1.5v to 2v which is of course not enough for phone but go through cicuit diagram to make this suitable to charge your phone.
Step 3: Affixing Panel
Affix the panel to your phone with the help of Duct Tape.
Step 4: Create the Circuit!
Follow the circuit diagram.
Here firstly, voltage regulator circuit is there which is made with the help of a schottky Diode and Capacitor. The it is connected with 5v Step up converter which will convert voltage from 0.7-5v to 5v. This makes your phone charges.
Now, your hardware is ready to make your phone charge.
