Abstract

Solar power is the major renewable energy source used by developing countries as stand-alone or grid enabled system. Since it is reliable it has been preferred at many households and will be a major power source in coming years. Despite its widespread use, solar has lagged in its efficiency to generate power at a desirable rate mainly because of non-efficiency of storage of charge. And hence many technologies are developed to make solar as efficient as possible. Batteries are used in storing charge, charge which ultimately produce electricity. The batteries which are available in market are not so cheap to buy one for storing charges regularly for longer durations. Batteries tend to become so expensive because of various factors including its battery management system and its approximated cycles of charging and discharging due to safety issues and hence tends to become obsolete after some amount of time. The proposed system integrates the smart solar hybrid grid system with efficient battery management.
