Aim:
Todesignaninnovativelampsuitableforstudypurposebasedonsolar.
Purpose:
To make a solar photovoltaic based lamp. This device should be location independent, i.e.
adaptable to anywhere in the world and will be used as open source design. Any organization
shouldbeabletoassemble/produceitontheirowntolightenupthemillionsoflives.
KeyFeatures:
1.Simple
2.Easytoproduce,assembleandrepair
3.Costeffective
WhatisSoUL?
SoULstandsforSolarUrjaLamp,alampsuitableforstudypurposeforaschoolgoingstudent.

IIT Bombay has initiated a Right to Light program called Million SoUL for providing solar study
lamp to each school going student to guarantee to them light for study purpose everyevening.
As part of the program more than 700,000 SoUL have already been distributed covering more
than8000villages.Moredetailscanbefoundat

GuidelineforFinishedSolarlampdesign:
A.
Product design:
The elements of the complete solar lamp product may consist of
Electronic circuit/board, Battery, LED, Lamp body, Switches, connection wire, cables &
connectorsandSolarpaneletc.
1. ElectronicsCircuit:
Guideline: Electronic circuit is main component which is electrical interface with LED
lamp, battery and solar panel. The design of electronic circuit should be efficient and
durable and compact as well ascosteffective.Thedesignwithcomponentswhichcanbe
easily available in market would be preferred. The circuit should be such that it is
compatible and perform efficiently with the LEDs, Solar panel and battery. Also
indicator arrangement should be there which would indicate the charging, discharging
andfullchargestatuseasilydistinguishablebytheuser.

For Design and Sketches: Design and sketched for PCB in 2D/3D sketch, SMD for
ICs and package footprint (bfx file/libraryfile),SchematicofElectronic circuit,Spacing
information of layers, hole, via. Connector etc. The information should be submitted in
following format. Appropriate dimensions should be mentioned. When the softcopy of
the 2D/3D sketches and designsand relevantsourcecodes(whereverapplicable)isbeing
given, it should be mentioned in comment section briefingthefilenamewhichwouldbe

2. Battery:
Guideline:
Battery is used for powering the LED and electronic circuit. Battery should
be such that it should last for more than 1500 chargingdischarging cycles and should
provide backup of more than 5 hours. Also, for the product, the most suitable
specification should be used. Connection diagram with all safety precautions should be
welldocumented.

Guideline:
LED is the main component which converts electrical energy into light. In
case of LEDs, the specifications should be properly mentioned. LEDs should be such
that a minimum area of1ftx1ftshould beilluminatedwith150luxoflight.Tunabilityof
