In most cases, MPPT technology will "boost" the charging current of the solar
power system. For example, a system might have 8 amps flowing from the
solar array to the controller and 10 amps flowing from the controller to the battery.
The controller does not generate current, and the energy input to the controller is
equal to its output energy. Since power is the product of voltage and current
(volts x amps), the following holds true:
(1) Controller input energy = controller output energy
(2) Input voltage x input current = output voltage x output current * Assumes 100%
efficiency, ignoring power losses in wires and conversion. If the maximum power
point voltage (Vmp) of the solar array is greater than the battery voltage, the
battery charging current must be proportionally greater than the solar array output
current so that the input and output power can be balanced. The greater the difference between the Vmp voltage and the battery voltage, the greater the current boost.
Current enhancement is extremely important in the system because the maximum
power point voltage (Vmp) voltage of the solar panels in a solar power system is
usually higher than the battery voltage.
Traditional controllers connect the solar array directly to the battery during
charging. This requires the solar array to operate in a voltage range that is
typically lower than the maximum power point voltage. Taking a 12V system
as an example, the battery voltage range is usually 11-15 V, but the
maximum power point voltage of a solar array is usually around 16 or 17V.
The solar PV array maximum power point voltage Vmp is the voltage at
which the output power (amps x volts) is at its maximum. Since traditional
controllers do not always operate at the maximum power point voltage of
the solar PV array, energy is wasted that could otherwise be used to charge
batteries and power system loads. The greater the difference between the
battery voltage and the maximum power point voltage of the solar PV
array, the more energy is wasted. This series of controllers will always
operate at the maximum power point, reducing energy waste compared to
traditional controllers. The figure below shows the nominal 12V solar
cell I-V curve and output power graph.
