What is the main purpose of charge controllers in battery-based PV systems?
What is the main purpose of charge controllers in battery-based PV systems?
- To manage charging parameters and prevent overcharging or over discharging of batteries (correct)
- To monitor the temperature of the batteries
- To regulate the voltage output of the PV array
- To increase the charging current to maximize battery capacity
What does the absorption stage of battery charging involve?
What does the absorption stage of battery charging involve?
- Delivering maximum allowable current to bring the state of charge up to 80 – 90%
- Applying constant-voltage regulation to reduce the charge current gradually (correct)
- Monitoring the battery voltage to determine the state of charge
- Reducing the charging current to keep the battery at maximum capacity
