Abstract
The growing demand for electricity among homeowners has made it clear that we need reliable and sustainable energy solutions. Especially in areas where the regular power grid can be a bit unpredictable, off-grid solar systems have become a practical alternative. These systems consist of solar panels, batteries, inverters, and charge controllers, and they offer a cost-effective and eco-friendly way to meet long-term energy needs. Our research project is all about creating a charge controller with a feature called the maximum power point tracker (MPPT). Our main goal with this research is to design an MPPT charge controller that's tailor-made for solar battery systems. This charge controller plays a critical role in deciding how much energy goes into charging the batteries. The MPPT charge controller we're envisioning will have a system for monitoring the battery's status in real-time To start, our project will focus on figuring out the electronic components we need to keep a close eye on the system's power status. At the same time, we'll be researching and selecting the most suitable type of converter required to make the MPPT algorithm work effectively. To test and improve the performance and efficiency of our design, we're going to use MATLAB simulations. This approach lets us carry out thorough experiments, analysis, and validation of how the charge controller functions before we put it to work in real-life solar battery systems.
