- To evaluate different risks of this product and ways to mitigate the risks in doing so
- To recommend a suitable source to deal with this problem during COVID-19 pandemic when students need online classes
Rationale:
The main issue of the study is less supply of electricity in the rural areas of Abia diaspora in the UK and it is occurring owing to massive all-time usage of electricity during the lockdown period. Students are not able to attend schools and colleges and they need to attain online classes. However, owing to power shortage in the area there is a major setback in online teaching classes. The Abia State government is also very upset since their plan to disseminate online class is in vain now. The state has requested for a suitable solution as a result of which the electronic company has come up with the idea of solar charger for mobile phones. It is very important to mitigate all issues during a pandemic is the noblest of all jobs and the electronic company is trying to deal with the situation along with the state government.
M1 project specification and project risks
It is very important to understand the need for the development of a solar charger and the deliverables for producing the equipment. Finest detail about the project is to be known and properly measurable. The project involves the manufacturing of a solar charger for facilitating mobile phones for online classes. The critical success factors involve completing the project within the deadline (COVID-19 pandemic lockdown) and with employee satisfaction. The development and implementation of solar-powered mobile chargers require effective design and functionality. The solar chargers along with solar project chain will be a diagnostic tool that Abia state government can utilize to benchmark their progress. It will be accompanied by fulfilling the conditions for a sustainable solar program.There should be a Global e-Tendering Platform that will enable the state government to implement a competitive process by selecting independent power producers through a robust mannerfor charging the solar mobile battery (Uciteli, et al. 2017). The oriented project specifications willanalyses the specific questions, like accounting the needs and accountability requirements to develop a solar, with the evaluation of oriented methodby favouring technical qualities of the process of the project.The objectives if a testing program of the designs that will standardize the project. The projecttesting incorporates assessed performance through performing a controlled experiment with the contrast of the outcomes elucidated for the solar project. The fundamental reason for this has to be with risks associated with the implementation of solar-powered chargers. The project aims to consider the risks in considering of project of making sustainable solar-powered mobile chargers.
D1 Justification of the research rationale
Currently, both rural and urban areas of Abia state of Nigeria are suffering from power outage issues. In the urban areas, power cut-outs are quite common and in rural areas, some of the places are still out of the grid supply areas. This means that students from this area do not have the privilege to utilize their phones due to lack of facility of charging. As the Covid-19 pandemic, online classes became a major educational method. Providing solar mobile chargers to these students will solve the power outage issue and help them to continue their online classes through WhatsApp (Gunawan et al. 2020).

P3 Literature review
Solar-powered mobile chargers are the need and source as a form of renewable energy. The Abian state government is aiming at concentrating on developing solar charger through the power source of solar energy radiated from solar energy. Electric generation utilizing solar power has been a need for development in Abia state government. The students particularly facing the shortage of electric supply form power grid can better use solar-powered chargers for eradicating the issues in their study programs. Development of solar cells in Abia is particular interest as it is an ideal sour e of power generation. The research will be focusing on developing a solar mobile charger in Abia. Due to the current situation of uncovered supply of electrical energy, it is emerging some problems. The research will investigate to discuss the solution of making a mobile charger for acting as a support for electric supply to mobile phones. We will analyze both the environmental and economical benefits for the implementation of solar energy powered battery charger for mobile phones(Jenniches, 2018). The use of a solar-powered battery charger can be a remarkable source of with clean, ensuring zero-emission renewable sources of naturally charged devices. It can be used in the devices as well using maximum domestic use of solar energy. The potential energy along with risks is alsotaking part in the development of developing solar projects. The incentive schemes and rebates can make use of solar-powered battery on the tax of government can make solar batteries financially easy. The literature approach to missing adequate targets in executing the completion of solar projects in the area of Abia has led to criticism. The literature theories on the contracting, consulting and another policy framing in regards to solar projects have been founded sluggish. The development for powering the mobile batteries in Abia has as compared to other regions through solar energy has been slow. Risks associated with the solar-powered mobile battery charger also associates risks such as technological risks like expected time issues and joint venture. The environmental risk of protection issues regarding biodiversity, environmental legislation. The problem of obtaining certifications and clearances form the state government of Abia may disturb the solar project. The chief failure in the attainment of financial closure can inflate the supposed funds for executing the solar-powered project if it does not get the necessary approvals. The literature theories relate that solar energy has advantages over many other renewable sources of energy taking wind and water power. Solar power will be generated through solar panels that will not require any big mechanical parts like wind turbines. The mechanical parts can break down causing maintenance issues and it can also be quite noisy. Both the issues will be virtually non-exist able regarding solar panels. This project will aim at in gathering solar power and storing it in the electric battery through photovoltaic cells (Brunet, et al. 2018). The utilization of a solar-powered battery with multiple low-voltage devices can be efficiently charged. The charge in the battery can also be displayed on an LCD by the help of a micro-controller.

P5 Impact of experience to enhance personal or group performance
We have conducted a research project through an effective group with knowledgeable participants. The participants were well supported, and effective channel of communication was there between us with the synchronization plan. Every detailed matter and findings were evaluated with a decade of analysis. Everyparticipantwas able to handle out the different topics, research parts, communication tools and time. This synchronized process helps the research process to get along the finding plans in a well smooth way. The group performance is a good measurable way to evaluate any research project. I have found it so useful it will always make the way of making research in the future with the help of group performers. There is a flow of information and knowledge possessed by every individual that could help elevate the success of the research project. The skills possessed by others can be learned by others also which contribute to the project efficiently. There is a flow of structural framework that understands, manages and improves the effectiveness of group performances in carrying out the research project. The group performance always characterizes the processing system of information and data. This elevates the importance of group or team performance through cognitive team interaction, transitive memory and psychological safety of the team participants(Winkler, et al. 2019). My essential skills and knowledge's and effort have given me more favourablein career development.
M4 Benefits from research findings
To carry out a successful research project it lies in the approach of coming back again and again to the research question, data and methods. The research findings of the research project help in leading to new ideas, revisions, process and improvements. The sequential methods with a flexibility approach help to consider various approach and decisions. The well-conducted research project is very vital in the actual development of the project. The use of appropriate methodologies produces a result examined by the peers which can be replicated and produces the results (Badzi?ska, 2017). The effective research process can create knowledge that can be applied in real-world situations.The benefit in making solar power enable charger can effectively draw the importanceof the issues such as high cost, governmental and private investors back up. In turn, to implement solutions for making it cost-effective is an approach to the research findings. A research finding helps in addressing the proposed research study and helps in examining the study methods such as quantitative and qualitative approaches. The different viewpoints of the data, a method ensuring a comprehensive approach to the research project is very helpful for developing a successful study.
D3 Critical evaluation of experiences that enhance group or personal performance
Group and team performance necessitate the positive possibilities which provide the scope to follow a particular path in career development. Not only career development it also makes the process of a research project with the help of a team very easier to gain success in the real world also. Performing in a team always gives a solution to the issues that arise among the research findings and evaluation. The credibility of the performance of a team creates a memorable spirit through participant's mutual synchronization and cooperativeness.
LO4
P6 Types of communication approach
Research Projects come with many communication problems that sometimes lead to delays, frustration and conflict within research project discussion. This considers out the reason that there should be an effective utilization of efficient communication approaches as it suggested vital for the success of the project.
Communication methods are channels utilized for communication management as well as the effectiveness of project research. Communicative methods are a systematic approach which is generally used to share different types of information among the stakeholders of the project. The communication approaches aim to make sure that all idea and research opinion, knowledgegathered and relayed is not only been received but also understand by the participants in the research project. Also, the response and feedback from all the participants gathered to assess the necessary findings are measured with the effectiveness of different communicationapproaches.
There are many types of communication approaches used in project management and certainly, these include push and pull and interactive communication. All of the approachesallow the project research team leader and the other participations to get them organized and vital message throughout the groups and participants participatedalong with an extracted response from the participants effectively (Butt, et al. 2016).
Without these effective communication tools and approaches, it would have been very much difficult for the research project even to move forward.Due to the lack of approaches, it will result in the misunderstanding between the participants and researchers of the project goals and even conflict in opinions among the participants involved in the research.
P7 Research outcome
There is a comprehensive and contextual research of the research project regarding planning and implementing project evaluation and dispersal of activities. The Internal and external expectations regarding research project services and outcomes have led to a sorted way that can be implemented practically.The expectations of the project certainly may or may not be achievable, that depends upon the maturity and funding of the research project.Thecomplexity and rigorousness of its implementation can define the degree or extent of the project. The ability to recruiting the able staff and recruiting and retaining capable staff will help in validating the research outcome o he project(Mõttus, 2016). It has aroused the seriousness as a promising project that can experience significant complexity in the earliest years as it will find its footing in a specific environment. It's common for the projects to build an initial period before begin delivering its services to the expected implementation level.The general concept of developing the research projects pointed out the development ability and usability.Based on the experience associated with the problems based the research project can sort out patterns of practices that can be used in other projects too. The questions and the methods-oriented approach can assess out the operational goals and objectives of the project.
M5 Evaluation of process through which communication approach meets research project outcome
It outlines the importance and effectiveness of communicating evaluated findings, first of all, it entails briefly about to create a link for evaluated data to communications. The ideas generating about the research through effective communication tools paving pathway to various communicators involved. It also considers the source to the project managers bad other staffs as well for implementing the project.Then it is explored through utilizing internal communications in regards to evaluation data for managing and monitoring the project implementation. The presenting of strategiesby utilizing evaluation data by communicating with project financers or benefactors and participants involved for the result of the project. There should be outlining the strategies research outcome of information and data so that there is a communication of the project details.It can provide the benefitsassociated with research and developing participants, to provide useful information to potential imitators. Addressing common and ethical challenges and considerations linked to communicating evaluation findings, and also presenting a summary of common communication approaches(Selfe, 2017). The information presented here assumes that participants working with an internal or external evaluator and will have an impact on the findings of the research in implementing the research project. The methods of designing and developing a solar-powered mobile charger should be communicated. Considering the information and the data to most of the audiences most wanted to know, in addition to the data and information considered to be shared.
D4 Critical reflection of the ways through which audiences involved in research, influenced the communication
The procurement of developing the idea for communicating a plan that will identify the audiences, determined as per their specific needs for evaluation of research findings, and mapping out a strategy to address the information needs. Creating communication and evaluation plans in the project's early life cycle so that the participants and others can be informed and be succinct to the communication approaches. There should be planning for using multiple modes or techniques for communicating with the audiences. There is one rare technique or a method that is full enough to reach the audiences. And investigating cost-effective channels of communication such as social media and web-enabled platforms.
