Also for monitoring its output data current voltage and power under real condition.
How to connect arduino to solar panel data.
Play video one year ago i began building my own solar system to provide power for my village house.
The sensor module along with arduino taking 100mah current.
Make a cutoff for the mini breadboard.
Let us suppose if we want to measure 5 volts then there is no need for any additional circuitry.
Battery voltage 1 2 x 2 2 4v so required voltage for solar panel 2 4 x 1 5 3 6v by taking some margin we can choose a 4v solar panel for it.
The voltage divider load is calculated to provide 5v to the arduino analog pin a0 when the solar panel reaches it s maximum power point mpp under standard light intensity 0 28a and 17 6v under 1000w m2.
You might change those values selecting differente values for the resistors and capacitores as described eartlier.
A solar panel that can rotate in two axis either automatically using four light sensors either manually with the aid of two potentiometers.
The arduino will be powered every 5 minutes and stay on for 27 secons.
Finally i made a pwm charge controller.
Attach the solar panel to the top of the t i did this with cardboard strips and strong adhesive.
Dual axis solar tracker panel with auto and manual mode project tutorial by giannis arvanitakis.
Initially i made a lm317 based charge controller and an energy meter for monitoring the system.
Cut a piece of plywood according to the size of your casing.
To do this put two strips of wood into a t shape.
Lastly attach the microservo s gear to the side of the arm.
Put the resistors and the jumper wire on the mini breadboard.
Battery capacity is 1300mah c 10 130mah the solar panel has to provide current 100mah for arduino along with a current not more than 130mah.
Arduino solar charge controller version 2 0.
It will look like the one in the picture.
This project proposes a low cost real time virtual instrumentation system based on labview and arduino to characterize a pv panel.
The electronic parts are connected to the power supply of the arduino an usb battery pack and the solar panel.
Just connect the solar panel output voltage to analog pin of arduino and convert that in digital and display result on lcd or computer.
This circuitry changes according to voltage which means how much voltage we have to measure.
A pv panel arduino uno board voltage and current sensors are used as hardware components.
