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. Just connect the solar panel output voltage to analog pin of arduino and convert that in digital and display result on lcd or computer. The arduino will be powered every 5 minutes and stay on for 27 secons. You might change those values selecting differente values for the resistors and capacitores as described eartlier.

Arduino solar charge controller version 2 0. To do this put two strips of wood into a t shape. Cut a piece of plywood according to the size of your casing. Also for monitoring its output data current voltage and power under real condition.

Make a cutoff for the mini breadboard. 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. Put the resistors and the jumper wire on the mini breadboard. A pv panel arduino uno board voltage and current sensors are used as hardware components.

After the timer circuit is working connect it output to arduino 5v and gnd pins. Lastly attach the microservo s gear to the side of the arm. Attach the solar panel to the top of the t i did this with cardboard strips and strong adhesive. 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.

It will look like the one in the picture. The electronic parts are connected to the power supply of the arduino an usb battery pack and the solar panel. Finally i made a pwm charge controller. Initially i made a lm317 based charge controller and an energy meter for monitoring the system.

The enclosure contains the electronic parts arduino uno data logger shield and the mini breadboard with the voltage divider. This circuitry changes according to voltage which means how much voltage we have to measure. It s purpose is to hold the the solar panel up and allow the microservo to adjust its tilt without falling over. This project proposes a low cost real time virtual instrumentation system based on labview and arduino to characterize a pv panel.

The sensor module along with arduino taking 100mah current.
