Abstract: A Power supply is an essential part of almost every electronic devices and the current trend is towards reducing the usage of power supply. It is thus desirable to use solar power to achieve this objective. The demand for solar energy is mainly driven by the trend towards cheaper solar cells, making it economically profitable for a larger range of applications. However, solar power has yet to reach grid parity in many geographical areas, which makes ways to reduce the cost of solar power systems important. The basic idea behind SOLAR SMPS project is the increasing over usage of electricity in this modern era. Through this proposed system over usage of electricity can be reduced by a small percentage. The function of Buck Booster helps in a Broadway to utilize the solar energy in an efficient manner. Solar energy can be stored in a battery with the help of this Buck Booster and also this battery act as a power backup.
