MOTIVATION
Non-conventional power generation is one of the fastest growing sectors. Globaly, all countries are busy developing
and implementing non-conventional power o bridge the power demand and power supply gap.
The sun is the ultimate source of unlimited solar energy in the form of light and heat. Light of the sun is directly
converted to electrical energy without any intermediate step.
Solar hotovolatic (PV) power is leading ahead of the other sources. In a solar power generation system, the PV cell plays
a major role.

Introduction
 A charge controller, or charge regulator is basically a voltage and/orcurrent
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.

supply," 2015 IEEE 13th Brazilian Power Electronics Conference and 1st

pp. 1-5.
This work presents the development of a charge controller which uses the energy of a
photovoltaic panel to charge a valve regulated lead-acid (VRLA) battery for an autonomous
telemetry station energy system. A Ćuk converter is employed to adequate the power
generated from the panel to the battery. A three-stage charge control strategy based on the
I-U technique is applied in order to charge the battery quickly and preserve its lifetime. A
maximum power point tracking technique based on temperature measurement is used to
provide a quick charge to the battery.

generation Program (RPSSGP) and Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar

This paper f on the protection of load and charge using solar power
management. Solar energy is converted into electrical energy by photo-voltaic cells.
This energy is stored in batteries during daytime to be utilized during night time.
In fact, the developed project has many advantages as existing devices, as it deals
with a controlled charging mechanism that avoids overcharge, deep discharge and
under/over voltage of the battery and load. Unless barriers like under/over charge are
overcome, maintaining and increasing electricity supplies from solar energy will
require continuation of potentially costly policy support.

Introduction
Objective
 The solar charge controller is a stand-alone off-the-grid photovoltaic (PV) system that utilizes
maximum power point tracking (MPPT) to obtain the most efficiency. Due to the inherent
losses that occur in photovoltaic systems, it is essential that the maximum power should be
extracted.
 The intent is to create an extremely efficient charge controller that would be able to monitor
the power generated by the photovoltaic array and deliver the maximum amount to the battery
bank during varying atmospheric conditions.
 The System is compatible to drive 500 Wattage AC – DC devices including
charging of batteries.
 Advance Controller make it an efficient system.
Objective
1. Cope up with the existing problem of load sheding in rural areas.
2.Make a use of freely available renewable natural sources effectively in every person hand.
3.Eliminate all the drawbacks related to conventional energy resources (ex.-their depletion), power
generation using these conventional energy resources (ex.- harmful byproducts, emission of dangerous
gases in environment, high production and running cost, heavy transmission and distribution losses).
4.Save huge capital invested to setup a solar power plant in different locations, Transmission cost for
carrying the generated energy from solar plant to every house in the country, large piece of land used by
these Solar power plants specially in our country where available land is very less.
5.Save unnecessary wastage of consumer��s money in buying batteries and simultaneously paying for the
use of electricity.

Circuit Diagram
Solar Panel
 Expose the cell to light, and the energy fromeach photon
(light particle) hitting the silicon, will liberate an electron
and a correspondinghole.
 If this happens within range of the electric field’s influence,
the electrons will be sent to the N side and the holes to the
P one, resulting in yet further disruption of electrical
neutrality.
 This flow of electrons is a current; the electrical field in the
cell causes a voltage and the product of these two is power.
OP-Amps
An operational amplifier ("op-amp") is a DC-coupled high-gain electronicvoltage
amplifier with a differential input and, usually, a single-endedoutput.
• Internally frequency compensated for unitygain
• Large DC voltage gain 100 dB
• Wideband with 1Mhz (Temperature compensated)
• Wide power supply range:
• Single supply 3V to 32V
• or dual supplies ±1.5V to±16V
• Very low supply current drain (700 μA) essentially independent of supplyvoltage
• Low input biasing current 45 nA (temperaturecompensated)
• Low input offset voltage 2mV and offset current:5nA
• Large output voltage swing 0V to V+ −1.5V
MOSFET(IRF 510)
 The Metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor is a devise
used for amplifying or switching electronic signals
 The basic principle of the device a voltage on the oxide- insulated
gate electrode can induce a conducting channel between the two
other contacts called source and drain.
 It is by far the most common transistor in bothdigital
and analog circuits, though thebipolar
 junction transistor was at one time much more common.
Diodes
 The 1N4148 is a standard small signal silicon diode usedin
signal processing.
 The 1N4148 is generally available in a DO-35 glasspackage
and is very useful at high
 frequencies with a reverse recovery time of no more than4ns.
 This permits rectification and detection of radio frequency
signals very effectively, as long as their amplitude is above
the forward conduction threshold of silicon (around 0.7V)or
the diode is biased.
Potentiometers
A potentiometer is an adjustable resistor which consists of a wiper that slides across a
resistive strip to deliver an increase or decrease in resistance. The level of resistance will
determine output of current to the circuit.
BATTERY
 An electrical battery is a combination of one or more electrochemical cells, used
to convert stored chemical energy into electrical energy.
 The battery has become a common power source for many household, robotics
and industrial applications.
 Larger batteries provide standby power for telephone exchanges or
computer data centers.
Charger ControllerTypes
 Charge controls come in 3 general types, They range from the
small 4.5 amp (Sunguard) control, up to the 60 to 80 amp MPPT.
• Simple 1 or 2 stage controls
• 3-stage and/or PWM
• Maximum power point tracking (MPPT)
Functionality of Solar Power Charge Controller
 A solar panel is used to charge abattery.
 A set of op-amps are used as comparators to continuously
monitorpanel
voltage, load current etc.
 Indications are also provided by a green LED for fully charged
battery.
 A set of red LEDs to indicate under charged, overloaded and
deepdischarge
condition.
Functionality of Solar Power Charge Controller
 Charge controller also uses MOSFET as power semiconductor
switch.
 This is to ensure cut off the load in low battery or overload
condition.
 A transistor is used to bypass the solar energy to a dummy load
while the battery gets fully charged.
 This protects the battery from getting overcharged.
