Arduino Solar Panel Charge Controller

There are many charge controllers available but ordinary cheap ones are not efficient enough to use with maximum power from solar panels.

Arduino solar panel charge controller.

If you are planning to install an off grid solar system with a battery bank you ll need a solar charge controller. The arduino tries to maximize the watts input from the solar panel by controlling the duty cycle to keep the solar panel operating at its maximum power point. Arduino solar charge controller version 2 0. As the input voltage from the solar panel rises the charge controller regulates the charge to the batteries preventing any overcharging and disconnect the load when the battery is discharged.

Play video one year ago i began building my own solar system to provide power for my village house. Charge regulator with power box connections to regulator inside the box. It seems to provide more power than my arduino solenoid valves consume. Stage 1 bulk charge.

Solar panel battery charge controller switching circuit. This is a simplified version of my solar panel battery charge controller using arduino one can easily add the ideas from that project to this one. Schematic and code of this charge controller is by julian ilett he is the mastermind behind this clever thing. The battery voltage will increase gradually.

I am using a small 20w solar panel but if the reading on the controller is any good my battery is always fully charged i e. You must be logged in with your arduino account to post a comment logged in with your arduino account to post a comment. Initially i made a lm317 based charge controller and an energy meter for monitoring the system. All this is just a refined documentation and a suitable pcb design to perfectly fit arduino pro.

The output voltage of the acs712 is 2 5v with no input while the spec sheet specifies 66 to 185 mv a output sensitivity. Arduino pwm solar charge controller v 2 02. Arduino pwm solar charge controller ino version 1 1 code download. 20x4 character lcd display for displaying voltages current power.

Solar panel battery charge controller using arduino pictures of power box and arduino solar charge regulator. And we have about 300 sunny days per year. Arduino will connect the solar panel to the battery directly 99 duty cycle. Specification of version 3 charge controller.

One response to a solar charge controller made with arduino sheetansh kaushik says. Arduino pv mppt solar charger project tutorial by abhi verma. Finally i made a pwm charge controller. It is a device that is placed between the solar panel and the battery bank to control the amount of electric energy produced by sola.
