Charge Controller

A solar charge controller is a device needed for monitoring and controlling the charging of battery bank connected to the PV modules. Main function of a solar charge controller is to limit the rate at which electric current is added to or drawn from batteries. It prevents overcharging and protects battery from voltage fluctuation, which can reduce battery performance or lifespan and may pose a safety risk. Charge controller can be used as either a standalone device or a control circuitry integrated within a battery pack, a battery powered solar device or a battery recharger. It is basically built for off grid solar power systems and bifurcates into two varities:-
  • i. Solar Charge Controller with PWM Technology
  • ii. Solar Charge Controller with MPPT Technology

i. Solar Charge Controller with PWM Technology:

Traditional solar regulators featuring PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) charging operates by making a connection directly from the solar array to the battery bank. During bulk charging when there is a continuous connection from the array to the battery bank, the array out put voltage is pulled don to the battery voltage. The battery voltage adjust slightly up depending on the amount of current provided by the array and the size and characteristics of the battery.


ii. Solar Charge Controller with MPPT Technology:

MPPT controllers feature buck post converter technology, designed to quickly and accurate determine the Vamp(maximum power voltage) of the solar array. MPPT controllers Sweep the solar input to determine the voltage at which the array is producing the maximum amount of power. The controllers harvest power from the array at the Vmp voltage and convert it down to battery voltage, boosting charging current in the process.
