Abstract

This paper presents a microcontroller-based charge controller suitable for photovoltaic applications. The controller performs temperature-compensated charge control. It also monitors and stores those parameters that provide an indication of batteries' state of charge and state of health: Panel's voltage, battery's voltage and current, current demanded by a load and temperature.
