Hello readers welcome to new post. Here we will discuss Solar Battery Charger Project with LM317. Currently, solar energy has become very common and is used in different projects. With the advancement in the use of renewable energies, there is use of solar energy is using very fastly.
In this project, we will make a project where we will construct the circuit used to recharge the twelve-volt battery. This circuit will come with the current and voltage regulation features and helps to charge the battery at constant volts since it has variable voltages at output terminal. This project is created with the collaboration of PCBWAY since PCB board used in this module is obtained by the best PCB suppliers. PCBWAY fulfilling the demands of their users by providing high-quality products fast delivery with less and reasonable costs. It is the best and most experienced PCB manufacturing company in China. They are equipped with high quality and latest machines for offering the best services to their users. They have features of different PCB such as single layers, double layers multilayers and other PCB services at single place. These projects were also created with their help and using their services. So let’s get started.
Project Components
- The components used in this projects are described here with detail.
- Diode
- Solar Panel
- Transistor
- Battery
- Resistances
- Voltage regulator
- The components of this project is listed here. A diode is device that used for ac to dc conversion. Solar panel is connected in the board to get energy from solar and it will provided to the battery to recharge it.
- Transistors are switching modules that will operate as the switch and control the operation of the circuit
What is LM317
- The LM317 is a voltage regulator device that has three terminals used to voltage regulation.
- It provides positive voltage regulation from 1.25 volts to thirty-seven volts according to output requirements.
- There is a need of two exterior resistances for adjustment of output voltages.
- It offered a line regulation of 0.01 percent and load regulation 0.1 percent.
- It comprises of different features such as protection from overload current limiting and save operating function requirements.
Features of LM317
- The main features of this module are described here
- It has value of output current 1.5 amperes
- Used to protect the overload thermal
- It helps to sustain the inner short circuit current limiting area
- It is used for floating operating in case of larger voltage circuits.
- It comes with D2PAK-3 packaging
Operation of Circuit
- This circuit operates on the principle that charger regulated circuit will produce the constant voltage.
- In this configuration charging current moves to the voltage regulator through fist diode.
- The output volts and current are regulated with the regulation pinout of the regulator. The current regulated used by the battery.
- The circuit shown below has a twelve-volt solar panel and a powering battery of twelve volts.
- LM317 is operating as a regulator and transistor is a switch to control the operation and charging of the battery
Advantages of Circuits
- The main advantages of these battery chargers are described here
- It offered the variable output voltages according to circuits needed that is linked to it.
- The components used in these circuits are less expensive and easy to use to it is less expensive projects and easy to construct.
- If there is no sunlight then battery discharging is almost zero.
Applications
- Its main applications are described here
- It is used for charging lead acid and Nicol chromium batteries
- This circuit offered current and voltage regulation with cut-off features in case of overvoltage.
That is all about the Solar Battery Charger Project with LM317. I have explained all the parameters of this project with the details and its common applications. The board used in this was created by the best PCB services provider PCBWAY that offered the best board in the world. They not only offer PCB-based services but also help the users to make projects with all the components and details that are needed. They are equipped with professional engineers and machines for creating high-quality products. So must contact them to make any projects and get PCB-based services.
