Abstract

A portable solar energy supplying device includes a body, a solar energy board, a secondary battery, a charging circuit, and a control unit. The body has a receiving space. The solar energy board is received in the receiving space, and receives solar energy and converts the solar energy into electrical power when the solar energy board is unfolded outside of the receiving space. The charging circuit is electrically connected with the solar energy board for receiving the electrical power converted by the solar energy board to charge the secondary battery. The control unit is electrically connected to the secondary battery for adjusting the output voltage of the secondary battery for an application system. Thereby, the goals of charging and supplying solar energy are achieved. The occupied space is reduced, it is convenient for the user to carry it, and the solar energy board is protected.
