Abstract: Traditional washing machines are energy-intensive appliances that rely entirely on grid electricity for operation. This study introduces a portable, solar-powered washing machine designed to enhance efficiency while minimizing environmental impact. Unlike conventional models, the proposed system utilizes renewable energy for washing and incorporates an energy-recovery mechanism during the drying phase, converting mechanical motion into storable electricity. As a result, the device significantly reduces both power and water consumption compared to standard washers. Its off-grid capability, lower operational costs, and sustainable design make it an eco- friendly alternative for domestic and remote applications. This innovation demonstrates how integrating renewable energy and energy regeneration can improve laundry technology while conserving resources.
