Research on a Novel Solar Charging System

Article Preview

Abstract:

To solve the wide range of the output voltage, difficult storage and not unified interface of solar cell, a novel solar charging system was proposed. The system consists of the solar panel, the voltage regulator circuit, the battery charge management circuit, the lithium battery, the booster circuit and the USB output circuit. The voltage regulator circuit can convert the output voltage of solar panel into 5V. By means of the charge management circuit, the energy is stored in the lithium battery, and it can be provided to the load via the booster circuit and USB interface, which can achieve the goal of the conversion, storage and utilization from solar to electrical energy. Under the condition of effective illumination between 10:00 and 16:00, the solar charging system was tested for 7 days. Experimental results show that the output voltage always maintained at 5V during the test. The output voltage of lithium battery reaches to 4.2V after four hours, and the output voltage of USB port always stabilizes at about 5V.
