This study aims to develop a mobile solar generator using the analysis, design, development, implementation, testing, and evaluation (ADDIE) development model. The Mobile Solar Generator (MSG) is a backup electricity source designed for homes, businesses, and schools during natural disasters. It uses solar power technology and a conventional AC generator, using an old coaster with PV panels, batteries, an inverter, and a controller. Performance testing showed charging is feasible between 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM, best during sunny weather, and has a payback period of 25 months.
