In this project, I designed and built a Portable Modular Solar Power Supply using custom 3D-printed parts, a lithium battery system, USB-C charging, and adjustable output modules.
The system can be charged using both solar panels and USB-C input. The adjustable solar panel mechanism allows better alignment with sunlight for improved charging efficiency.
Depending on the selected DC-DC module, the system can provide different output voltages such as:
- 5V
- 6V
- 9V
- 12V
Features:
- Portable and compact design
- Adjustable solar panel angle
- USB-C charging support
- Battery level indicator
- Reverse current protection
- Modular output system
- Fully custom 3D-printed enclosure
In this video, I show:

- Circuit overview
- Electronics wiring
- Mechanical assembly
- Final system setup
