Abstract

This project presents the design and implementation of a prototyped stand-alone photovoltaic power system that is conceived to cater to the operations of an automatic outdoor or indoor lighting scheme. Preliminary loads include de compact LED light for various application including garden lighting, road side lighting and interior house decoration. Due to the non-critical load, a basic regulation process suffices. To achieve this, the system uses a built-in regulator. The balance-of-system is realized with the utilization of a specially devices solar power center. It comprises a photovoltaic charge controller and low-voltage load disconnection circuit. The former deice regulates the flow rate of electricity from the photovoltaic module to the battery and the load. This combined with the latter will function to maximize the battery's service life and ultimately the system. A load switch coupled to a timer circuit and a battery low-voltage warning indicator from the final pieces of whole system. Charge controller will connected to PIC Microcontroller to program lightning pattern color under the rainbow. A linear constant current circuit will provide variable regulation current to maximize load lighting. Simulation, experimentation and the finale of hardware implementation will be included to verify the practically and feasibility of this project From this initiative, simple power generation via photovoltaic technology can be utilized for the benefits of masses. This system requires very low maintenances and can be erected in the urban or rural for hassle free outdoor lighting or indoor lighting. With environment in mind, this small step will be significant milestone for the gradual change towards renewable energy resources.
