Solar Based Air Compressor System using PIC Controller

This paper will describe a novel system for generating compressed air energy generation system using solar thermal energy combined with PIC controller for usage and storage. The essential subsystems include solar panels directly coupled to air compressors, battery, and a PIC controller. Solar power is produced by collecting sunlight and converting into electricity. This is done by using solar panels, which are large flat panels made up of many individual solar cells. It is most often used in remote locations, although it is becoming more popular in urban areas as well. Interfacing of air controller with solar cells claims to be able to produce compressed air. This compressed air generation system will be particularly useful to inflate tires and for spray painting tool, with areas of high solar radiation for intermittent energy. This solar system would be a more economical means for achieving zero-emission, firm capacity.
