Abstract

Malaysia is one of the nations that situated in the tropical reach. It is also a country with heat and humidity consistently and furthermore rich in daylight. Nowadays, with the steadily extending technologies, natural resources have formed the industry's base and are used as a supply generation in nowadays usage. Solar energy is most reliable renewable sources of energy that most of the people use nowadays. Solar energy can be harvested from the light energy into electrical energy by using solar power system. A solar charge controller which also known as a solar regulator is one of the most important components of a solar system. The function of a solar charge controller is to adjusts the current as well as the voltage from the solar panels to the batteries or load, preventing the battery from being damaged by an overcharge condition. In this project, the energy of 200W produced by mono crystalline the solar panels will be connected to the solar charge controller through a 12V PWM system. From the solar charge controller, the energy will be regulated to 12V to be delivered to the 12V 10Ah battery and to the load of 70W which consist of the cooling system and the lightning detection system. However, it appears the load only consume the power supply coming from the battery and it unable to consume the power supply directly from the solar system. The goal of this project is to make it possible for the generated energy to be used from the solar system directly to the load without any help from the battery. By enhancing the solar charge controller's performance in a solar power system, the Lightning Detection system project tend to be able to operate directly by energy provided by the solar power system in a certain situation and operate using the energy stored in the battery storage for a certain situation hence improve the performance and efficiency of the Lightning Detection System.
