“…FURTHER IMPROVEMENT Among the tested charge controllers, only three were PWM charge controllers, where others are ON/OFF controller. Literature [4], [5] shows that PWM charging increases the charging efficiency and battery life. So, this technique should be implemented in the charge controllers.…”

Charge controller is the heart of a Solar Home System (SHS) which controls the charging and discharging of battery from photovoltaic (PV) module. This paper analyzes test results of fifteen charge controllers available in Bangladesh according to the specification of Infrastructure Development Company Limited (IDCOL). The different parameters are battery high voltage disconnect (HVD), low voltage disconnect (LVD)/ reconnect, short circuit protection etc. It is found that eight charge controllers meet the technical specifications of IDCOL. There is also a study of different features of the charge controllers. Finally a brief discussion on further improvement of charge controller is presented.

Summary1re-built the prototype machine to the point it was ready to go into a trial mode, however after Clark Machine Inc., took the contract. to build me four machines they wanted the prototype in their yard so they could build from it.They have built one machine complete and have almost all the parts to the other three built ready to assemble. I have inspected the one that is complete and so far everything looks fine, however the engineer needs to come back and check it out and stamp the drawings. Then comes OSA to inspect the machine. After all this I feel that we have a machine that is not only good in its field it ,will sell to contractors and firms that sell this type of equipment, after. all this is done we will contract for a truck and start to test the machine, in this way if there are any mistakes we can 'correct all four machines befo"Winishiing them I have already started a complete method to contact these people, as a mater I sent out 10 last week and will keep sending out feelers until I hit someone who will appreciate what we have and sign a contract to handle the machine for us on a dealership with us.
