Overview • Background info. • Why do we need a charging system? • What happens without a charging system? • What does a charging system do? • Why should we use a charging system? • What are our options?
Background • Without a charge system. • Damage can occur to all parts of the solar system. • To much current will flow to the batteries causing them to overheat. • The system will waste electricity. • The voltage output of the system will fluctuate.
Background • What does a charging system do? • Optimizes the energy flow of the system. • Switches from charging mode to power mode. • Allows the batteries to not be drained when the sun is out. • Provides proper charging. • Manages the current flow into the battery. • If the battery is near dead it charges at a fast rate. • If the battery is near full charging speed is reduced or stopped.
How A Charging System Works Input signal Charge Controller Output Signal (fluctuating Signal) (Optimizes Signal) (Optimized Signal)
Why A Charging System Is Used • Charging Systems display information. • Energy produced, Energy used, Charging status. • Useful tool to maximize efficiency. • Ensures the safety of you home. • All devices in your solar system will be protected. • Power spikes will be nonexistent keeping your electronics and batteries safe and providing a long lifetime of use.
Options • Build a charge controller. • Provides our team with knowledge. • Allows for easy customizability. • Time Consuming. • Buy a charge controller. • Readily available. • Many different options. • Plug it in and forget it.
