Abstract

This paper presents the design and implementation of a sensor-enabled off-grid solar charge controller aimed at maximizing the utilization of renewable energy. The proposed system integrates solar and load power sensors to minimize solar energy wastage. A microcontroller is employed to efficiently monitor and regulate battery voltage, solar power generation, and load demand. This system is designed to optimize solar energy usage, reduce dependency on the electrical grid, and lower electricity bills. Additionally, a main supply controller board with a display is introduced, along with a smart scheduler for appliance management. Prior to deployment, total solar power wastage was recorded at 93.1 watts per day. After implementing the proposed solution, wastage was reduced to 13.1 watts per day—reflecting an 85.92% reduction. These results confirm the system’s effectiveness in reducing energy loss, increasing self-consumption, and promoting energy sustainability in off-grid environments. It is important to note that this value may vary based on factors such as temperature, cloud cover, fog, and irradiation levels.
