Abstract

Requirement of electricity of the world is increasing at very high rate because of industrial growth, increased and extensive use of electrical gadgets. Today world receives 80% of the energy from conventional non-renewable energy sources. So within short time span, all the sources will be completely exhausted. The best alternative source is solar energy. Solar energy can be used in many electrical appliances. This paper deals with solar energy based metal/wood cutting tool. Industries like automobile, packaging and medical etc. have increased the use of aluminum, as aluminum made things are quiet easier to manufacture, handle and reliable to use. In this paper, design of metal/wood cutting tool which uses solar energy is shown. Solar charge controller is simulated using MATLAB and hardware is prepared using arduino microcontroller.
