Solar Power System Circuit Documentation

Summary

This document provides a detailed overview of a solar power system circuit. The circuit is designed to harness solar energy through a solar panel, manage the power with a charge controller, store energy in a 12V battery, and convert the stored DC power to AC using a power inverter. The system also includes automatic transfer switches (ATS) for power routing and circuit breakers for overcurrent protection.

Component List

12V Battery (mini)

• Description: A 12V miniature battery used for energy storage.
• Pins: Negative (-), Positive (+)

Circuit Breaker

• Description: A safety device used to protect the circuit from overcurrent by interrupting the flow of electricity when a fault is detected.
• Pins: Negative (-), Positive (+)

Power Inverter

• Description: A device that converts DC power from the battery into AC power for use with standard electrical appliances.
• Pins: Negative (-), Positive (+)

Solar Panel

• Description: A photovoltaic panel that converts sunlight into electrical energy.
• Pins: Positive (+), Negative (-)

Charge Controller

• Description: A device that regulates the voltage and current coming from the solar panels to the battery to prevent overcharging and damage.
