From the project

Charge Regulator Designs for off-grid renewable energy projects. Series. Shunt. MPPT.

This is an open-source project to design a simple, low-cost, Charge Regulator Designs for off-grid renewable energy projects.

A charge-controller protects a re-chargeable battery from over (and sometime under) charging from a renewable energy resource.

This controller will work as a Series and Shunt controller. Future improvements include working as a Maximum Power Point Tracking. The design is based upon the Arduino IDE and will use one version of the Arduino processors (Arduino Nano initially). Voltage is measured using a potential divider. Current is measured using a hall-effect current…
