Description
A small solar charge controller for IoT devices in the field where mains power is not available. Field instruments can be made fully solar powered using this charge controller. Battery may also be installed inside IP-67 enclosure for protection from rain and dust. The charge controller with battery acts as power backup device with is 100% powered using solar energy. LED indications are provided to display battery charging, DC load, and faults. It is a plug and play system and requires minimum setup time in field. The charge controller incorporates all protections including reverse battery, reverse PV, overload, short-circuit, etc. to reduce field failures.

Charging Methodology |
|
Conversion technology: |
MPPT (Maximum Power point tracking) |
|
Charging Mode: |
CC-CV |
|
|
CC Mode: (During battery charging) Charges the battery with the maximum constant current available from the solar panel till battery voltage < 13.80V, I_chg tapers off to 0A as V_batt rises to 14.2V |
|
|
CV Mode: (Once battery gets fully charged) Charges the battery with the required current to maintain it to 14.2V |
|
Charging Efficiency: |
>= 91% |
