A Novel Internet of Things Access Architecture of Energy-Efficient Solar Battery Charging System for Mobile Phones
Published in Lavanya Sharma, Pradeep K Garg, From Visual Surveillance to Internet of Things, 2019
Whenever a panel is utilized that is more than 5-watt evaluated output, it is recommended to use a solar-charge controller. As a matter of fact, a charge controller is a smart thought in a variety of uses, especially for forestalling overcharge, upgrading charge status, and dodging battery discharge in low- or no-light circumstances. Some solar panels are made with blocking diodes pre-installed that hinder battery discharge amid low- or no-light conditions.
The Power and Transportation Future

A digital meter shows the voltage and the amps being consumed or charging the batteries and the accumulated amp/hours. The amp/hour reading is comparable to a gas gauge, showing how much power has been consumed. The charge controller determines when and how much to charge the batteries from the solar panels. The Sunmobile weighs about 400 lbs. with a set of four deep-cycle marine batteries.

The charge controller regulates the charge entering in the battery (i.e., it controls the charging current according to the state of the battery). If the battery is fully charged, then it disconnects the battery from the PV module; if the battery is fully discharged, then it disconnects the load from the battery.

In a hybrid PV system, batteries are required as energy storage or backup energy system. Battery energy system is generally used, when solar insolation is not available during non-sunshine hours. In this study, PV generator is connected to the DC bus, via a converter and charge controller, at which battery is connected. The battery is used to store/supply power and also to help during starting of the DG and load changing. A charge controller is used to prevent overcharging or deep discharging of the batteries and to preserve their life and better performance. Charge controller sense the state of charge of the batteries and prevent battery from overcharge or deep discharge by disconnecting the battery from PV generator or load.
Performance evaluation of a stand-alone solar dish Stirling system for off–grid electrification
Published in Energy Sources, Part A: Recovery, Utilization, and Environmental Effects, 2022
The main purpose of a charge controller is to preserve the battery at the highest possible state of charge (SOC) while protecting it from both overcharge and discharge. Because the demand for electricity in a single-family house is usually unpredictable, a charge controller is necessary. Furthermore, a charge controller is needed to prevent the severe discharge that leads to the short life of the battery and to avoid battery damage caused by overcharge.

The battery charge controller is important as it guarantees that the batteries are safely charged in order to ensure longer life span is maintained. The battery charger must be capable of carrying the short circuit current of the installed PV arrays and also to maintain the DC bus voltage. The charging current for the system, can be determined as:
