Solar Charge Controller

A solar charge controller manages the power going from solar panels to batteries. It ensures batteries are not overcharged during the day and power does not drain the batteries at night. The controller uses comparators to continuously monitor voltage and current to provide protections like low voltage protection, over voltage protection, and back current protection. It indicates the battery charge level with LEDs and can control loads and lighting from the solar power system.

ABSTRACT

A solar charge controller manages the power


going into the battery bank from the solar
array. It ensures that the deep cycle batteries are
not overcharged during the day, and that the
power doesn’t run backwards to the solar panels
overnight and drain the batteries. Some charge
controllers are available with additional
capabilities, like lighting and load control, but
managing the power is its primary job.

Introduction

 A charge controller, or charge regulator is basically a voltage and/or current


regulator to keep batteries from overcharging. It regulates the voltage and
current coming from the solar panels going to the battery. Most "12 volt"
panels put out about 16 to 20 volts, so if there is no regulation the batteries
will be damaged from overcharging. Most batteries need around 14 to 14.5
volts to get fully charged.

 The solar energy is converted to electrical energy by photo-voltaic cells. This


energy is stored in batteries during day time for utilizing the same during
night time. Main project ideas is to deals with a controlled charging
mechanism which over charge, deep discharge and under voltage of the
battery.
