“Innovation has nothing to do with how many R&D dollars you have... It’s not about money. It’s about the people you
have, how you’re led, and how much you get it.” - Steve Jobs

Existing Central chargers are just not right for Solar Telecom applications. Distributed chargers
are the way to go

Central Charger
Solar PVBatteries
Central Chargers extract power from the combined Solar array to charge the
batteries

Good chargers deliver UNIT efficiencies between 94-98% under standard conditions
However, Central chargers are not designed for Telecom solar applications.

Sun movement in our latitudes & area constraints in a telecom site result in shadow on PV panels
Shadow on a Solar array in Bangalore

Telecom towers in this region will be affected by Summer Shadow Between April and September from the tower
Telecom towers in this region can have shadow due to presence of obstructions in South of the installation in Winter

Central chargers exacerbate the effect of shade by forcing a series – parallel arrangement of PV

Shade Impact is much higher than actual percentage of shade

The Problem is BIG !
1 Loss due to shading – Not recoverable
Net Yearly Loss : Estimated 25% of Wp
2 Loss due to shade Impact – Partially recoverable
3Loss due to lower efficiency during cloudy days - Recoverable
4 Loss due to blocking diodes etc- Recoverable

Multiple independent chargers can overcharge batteries (high charge rate)– thereby reducing its life= Increased System Cost

The solution must
1 Must address the issue of shading
2Must do accurate charging of the batteries
3 Must not add to the net system cost
