We generate a new generalized regular charged anisotropic exact model that admits conformal symmetry in static spherically symmetric spacetime. Our model was examined for physical acceptability as realistic stellar models. The regularity is not violated, the energy conditions are satisfied, the physical forces balanced at equilibrium, the stability is satisfied via adiabatic index, and the surface red shift and mass–radius ratio are within the required bounds. Our conformal charged anisotropic exact solution contains models generated by Finch–Skea, Vaidya–Tikekar and Schwarzschild. Also, some recent charged or neutral and anisotropic or isotropic conformally symmetric models are found as special cases of our exact model. Our approach using a conformal symmetry provides a generalized geometric framework for studying compact objects.
