MUMBAI, India, Oct. 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611106956 A) filed by Chandigarh University on September 05, 2026, for A Compact Solar Mobile Charging Device Configured For Space-Efficient Solar Energy Harvesting.

Inventors include Vivek Sharma; Munish Kumar; Mohit Mishra; S M Nafis Ahmad; Krishna Kumar Jha; Akhand Pratap Singh Rana; and Vishwa Raj Singh.

The application for the patent was published on October 23, 2026, under issue no. 43/2026.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a compact solar mobile charging device configured for efficient solar energy harvesting in confined spaces. The device comprises a central cylindrical shaft (101), a fixed base solar panel (103), and one or more rotatable solar panels (102) arranged in a vertically stacked configuration. A pin-and-slot hinge mechanism (104) enables controlled rotational deployment of the rotatable solar panels (102) at predefined angular positions, while a mechanical interconnection linkage (203) facilitates synchronized deployment and retraction. An internal wiring system (105), routed through internal holes and elongated slots (201) of the shaft (101), electrically connects the solar panels through detachable male-female connector interfaces (202). The generated electrical energy is supplied to a power regulation and charging module (106) comprising a voltage regulation and current control circuit (107) enclosed within a protective housing (108). The device provides increased solar harvesting area while maintaining compactness and portability.
