MPPT Solar Charge Controller Prototype Design

Job ID: 38765869

Budget: $1,500 – $3,000 USD

I'm looking for an expert in solar technology to help me design and build a prototype for an MPPT solar charge controller. This controller needs to handle solar power inputs ranging from 90 to 800 volts, charging a series lithium battery bank of 8x75 VDC = 600 VDC.

Key Project Requirements:
- The solar panel system has a power output of 10 kW, with each panel operating at 48 VDC.
- The charge controller should be cost-efficient, without compromising on essential functionalities.
- The controller should include features for remote monitoring and temperature compensation.
- The implementation of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is preferred over pulse width modulation (PWM).
- The charge controller should include overcharge protection to enhance battery longevity.
- The system should have load control capabilities to manage electricity usage efficiently.
- The system should log operational data for performance monitoring and diagnostics.
- The controller must have short-circuit protection to prevent damage to the system.

The ideal freelancer for this job would have a strong background in renewable energy systems, particularly solar technology, and experience in designing and building charge controllers. Skills in cost-effective engineering, remote system design, and temperature compensation implementation are also highly desirable.

The charge controller must be weatherproof with an IP65 rating. The charge controller should include an LCD display for real-time monitoring and control. Please integrate a Bluetooth communication protocol for remote monitoring. The prototype will be for small-scale production, requiring considerations for limited runs and custom features. The prototype should be completed and tested within a standard timeline of 3-6 months. The prototype should support data logging and remote monitoring via Wi-Fi. The design should integrate a buck converter for power regulation. The charge controller should include a mobile app for convenient remote monitoring and control. The remote monitoring and data logging should utilize local storage solutions to ensure data privacy and offline access.
