Creating a **solar-powered ultrasonic mosquito repellent** involves designing an electronic circuit that

generates ultrasonic waves and using solar energy to power it. Here’s a step-by-step procedure to guide
you through the project:

Materials Needed:
1. Solar Panel (5V or 6V) – to provide power to the device.
2. Rechargeable Battery (Li-ion or NiMH, 3.7V or 6V)– stores energy from the solar panel.
3. Ultrasonic Frequency Generator (Electronic Circuit)– generates ultrasonic waves to repel
mosquitoes.
4. Piezoelectric Ultrasonic Transducer – emits the ultrasonic waves.
5. Charge Controller Module – ensures safe charging of the battery.
6. Voltage Regulator (e.g., LM7805 or similar)– regulates power from the solar panel and battery.
7. Diode (e.g., 1N4007)– prevents reverse current flow from the battery to the solar panel.
8. Enclosure (Plastic or waterproof box)– houses all the components.
9. Switch (optional)– to manually turn the repellent on or off.
10. Wires and Soldering Tools – for connections.
11. LED (optional) – for indicating the device’s power status.

Tools:
 Soldering Iron and Solder
 Multimeter (for testing)
 Screwdrivers, Wire Cutters, and Pliers
 Hot Glue or Screws (for securing components inside the enclosure)

Procedure:

1. Solar Panel and Battery Setup:


a. Connect the Solar Panel to the Battery
b. Attach the positive terminal of the solar panel to the positive terminal of the charge
controller and the negative terminal to the negative input of the controller.
c. Connect the battery to the charge controller (positive to positive, negative to negative)
to enable it to store the solar energy.
d. Use a blocking diode (like 1N4007) between the panel and battery to prevent reverse
current flow when the panel isn’t generating power.
2. Ultrasonic Circuit Assembly
a. Build or Buy an Ultrasonic Mosquito Repellent Circuit
i. You can either build a simple 555 Timer-based circuit to generate ultrasonic
frequencies (typically 20 kHz to 65 kHz), or purchase a ready-made ultrasonic
repellent circuit.
b. 555 Timer Circuit:
i. The 555 Timer IC is configured in astable mode to oscillate at the required
ultrasonic frequency.
ii. Connect the output pin (Pin 3) of the 555 Timer to the positive terminal of
the piezoelectric transducer. The transducer will convert the electrical
oscillations into sound waves.
3. Connect the Power Supply:
a. Voltage Regulation:
i. Use a voltage regulator (such as LM7805) to ensure a steady voltage output
(5V or 3.7V) to power your ultrasonic circuit from the solar panel and battery.
ii. Connect the output of the battery (through the charge controller) to the input
of the voltage regulator.
iii. Ensure the output of the regulator is connected to the ultrasonic circuit’s
power input.

4. Testing the Circuit


a. Power On the Circuit:
b. Once you have connected everything, test the circuit to ensure the ultrasonic waves are
being generated when exposed to light or when powered by the battery.
c. Use a multimeter to test the voltage at different points, ensuring the solar panel charges
the battery and the regulator supplies stable power to the circuit.

5. Enclosure and Assembly:


a. Assemble the Components
i. Place all the components, including the solar panel, ultrasonic circuit, and
battery, into the waterproof enclosure.
ii. Secure the solar panel on the top of the enclosure to maximize sunlight
exposure.
iii. Drill small holes for the ultrasonic waves to pass through (or leave an opening
for the piezoelectric transducer).
6. Optional Additions:
a. LED Indicator
i. Add an LED in the circuit to indicate when the device is powered on and
generating ultrasonic waves.
b. On/Off Switch
i. Include a switch to manually turn the circuit on or off without disconnecting
the solar panel.

### Final Testing:


- Place the device in an area with mosquitoes, preferably in an outdoor setting where the solar panel can
get adequate sunlight.
- Check if the ultrasonic sound repels mosquitoes effectively (ultrasonic waves are typically inaudible to
humans but drive away insects).

---

### Troubleshooting:
- **No power?** Check connections between the solar panel, charge controller, and battery. Ensure the
voltage regulator is functioning properly.
- **No sound from the transducer?** Ensure the ultrasonic circuit is generating the correct frequency
and the transducer is connected correctly.
By following this procedure, you can create a working solar-powered ultrasonic mosquito repellent that
runs off renewable energy.
