Design and implementation of the high efficiency photovoltaic system with solid state lighting

Photovoltaic application of LED lighting has been a hot trend in residential illumination, for it integrates the advantages of both the PV systems and LED lights. However, it has a series of problems, such as high thermal loss, poor reliability, and a short life span. To address these problems, this paper presents a deep research on the whole system from a low-cost, high-efficiency and long-life point of view. A main circuit integrating maximum power point tracing (MPPT) control and battery management, as well as a double-loop control for LED load is developed. A set of protection system is applied to ensure high reliability of the system. The control strategies are tested on the demonstrator and prove to be effective.
