Abstract: The growing demands of human needs have increased the utilization of conventional energy enormously. Consequently environmental issues like global warming, drought, famine etc. and other political issue due to its after effect have risen. Keeping these facts in view this project has been prepared to present an model on how the daily energy requirement can be fulfilled in a more practical, feasible and economical way. Solar energy is the viable source of renewable energy over the last two-three decades. It is now used in variety of fields such as industries, domestic purpose. Solar energy system is designed to collect maximum power from sun and to convert into electrical power. Another form of energy is Vibration energy (mechanical energy) that is generated by vibration or pressure applied on it is converted into electric energy by piezoelectric effect. Piezoelectricity is the electric charge that accumulates in certain solid material such as crystal, certain ceramic and biological matter such as bone, DNA and various proteins in response to applied mechanical stress. The aim of this work is to make power generation more sustainable, economical and ecological by utilizing the advancement in the technology. Environmentally friendly solutions are becoming more prominent than ever as a result of concern regarding the state of our deteriorating planet. This project presents a new system configuration of the stage for a hybrid energy system which uses solar power and vibration. This configuration allows the two sources to supply the load separately or simultaneously depending on the availability of the energy sources. This projects aims to design and construct optimized charging system for hybrid vibration/photovoltaic energy system
