Abstract

This study introduces an innovative approach to address the urgent need for sustainable energy storage by maximizing solar energy utilization and ensuring efficient distribution and storage through integrated solar panels and a dual-battery system. Key components such as rechargeable batteries and charge controllers are meticulously incorporated, demonstrating a deep understanding of system requirements. In particular, the system autonomously manages charging and discharging based on battery levels, optimizing energy storage by switching charging between batteries, charging the first to 80% capacity before switching to the second if its charge falls below 20%. Enhanced by a microcontroller, the system adapts to varying conditions and prioritizes charging accordingly. Furthermore, its capability to reintegrate surplus energy into the grid supports renewable energy objectives, bolstering system stability and sustainability while benefiting individual users. Overall, this project marks a significant advancement in renewable energy distribution and storage, leveraging automation, energy management, and electronic engineering to offer a holistic approach to energy challenges. Successful implementation could pave the way for more sustainable energy systems, reducing reliance on nonrenewable resources over time.
