Hi Guys,
I would like to put forward a proposal where fellow members of the forum can join in and design a pic based charge controller for solar/wind/hydro.
The concept will be it can be used for different input voltages as the input signal will just be a voltage divider and with a few tweaks in the software. Once finished a new thread will be made and placed in the RE projects section. The whole idea of starting this is in the spirit of open source I feel we can create a great database of RE related projects.
Initial Suggestions
The lcd will show the voltage and input current from the RE array. A preset voltage will either setup to short the PV panels or divert the load to another source(ie: dumpload). Datalogging is also a great idea to incorporate.
OK I'll leave things at that and wait to see the feedback on this proposal.
Regards Bryan
