Development and testing of non-inductive charge controller in the system of solar photovoltaic installation

Present article is devoted to development and testing of non-inductive charge controller in the system of solar photovoltaic installation. A non-inductive controller for solar photovoltaic system have been designed, manufactured and tested. The system includes the installation of solar photovoltaic module, non-inductive charge controller and battery. Non-inductive charge controller manufactured using only capacitors as charging elements that makes it economical. The circuit diagram of the installation with non-inductive charge controller, the current-voltage characteristics and power-voltage relationship of the module, the output voltage-input relationship of non-inductive charge controller are presented. It is shown that when the input voltage of non-inductive charge controller is in the range of 8-20 V, the output voltage is in the range of 13.5-14 V. The installation can be used for feeding of small power loads of electricity. (author)
