InSPIRE Solar Wireless Drone Charging Station

Project Description

We are designing and manufacturing a wireless drone charging station powered by an off-grid solar system. This reduces the carbon footprint generated by commercial and research drone use which is a growing industry. By  using solar power, the system avoids reliance on fossil fuels and promotes renewable energy solutions. Wireless  charging minimizes manual work and makes the system easy to scale for mass applications. This project  demonstrates a sustainable path forward for drone operations while supporting innovation in clean technology.

This proposal directly funds:

Supplies for the frame of the charging station, the solar PV system that generates electricity, and the wireless charging mechanism
