At the heart of this process is the solar charge controller’s ability to discern the battery’s current state of charge. It does this by measuring the voltage, which gives an indication of the battery’s overall charge level. Based on this information, the controller adjusts the power output from the solar panels.
The designed system is very functional, durable, economical, and realisable using locally sourced and affordable components. This work is a prototype of a commercial solar charge controller with protection systems that will prevent damages to the battery associated with unregulated charging and discharging mechanisms.
Herein, to improve photovoltaic (PV) system efficiency, and increase the lifetime of the battery, a microcontroller-based battery charge controller with maximum power point tracker (MPPT) is designed for harvesting the maximum power available from the PV system under given insolation and temperature conditions.
Overcharging can lead to excessive gassing, heat generation, and even dangerous situations like battery explosions in severe cases. By moderating the charge, solar charge controllers ensure that the batteries are charged efficiently and safely, promoting longer battery life and maintaining the integrity of the solar power system.
This charge controller allows for a PV array with a much higher voltage than the battery bank’s voltage and will automatically and efficiently convert the higher voltage down to the lower voltage so panels, battery bank and PV charge controller can all be equal in voltage.
The following parameters define the most common features of charge controllers used in autonomous solar plants: Battery overload protection (high cut-off): this is the essential function of the controller. It prevents the battery from heating up, losing water from the electrolyte and the plates from oxidizing.
