Abstract

This paper presents a cost efficient PV charge controller with the function to disconnect and reconnect battery and load during battery overcharging or under discharging. The proposed charge controller is equipped with LCD to display the temperature, battery voltage and current flow through the battery. Output of these 3 inputs is used to obtain the accurate and efficient disconnecting and reconnecting action which is capable of protecting the battery and the load. The source code is written in Arduino Uno which is open source. Furthermore, this smart charge controller is developed to increase the efficiency of charge controller and product life to an affordable level. This project deals with the design of a smart charge controller using Aurdino Uno microcontroller to control and coordinate the activity of charge controller.
