| Abstract | There are more than 200,000 AC output solar home systems (AC SHS) installed in Thailand form 2004 to 2006. Two types of PV module are used in this massive installation, multicrystalline silicon (mc-Si) PV module and thin film amorphous silicon (a-Si) PV module. Two type of charge controllers suitable for each type of PV module are installed to control of charging from PV modules to deep cycle lead acid battery. The system with mc-Si PV module uses shunt interrupting design or On-Off charger controller while the system with a-Si PV module uses DC-DC converter with maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm charge controller due to high PV output voltage from a-Si PV module. The AC SHSs are operated by allow to full daily energy yield form PV to charge their batteries without maintenance of batteries and with maintenance of the battery to observe the in system performance in both conditions. The performance of these two AC SHSs are monitored and analyzed by using IEA PVPS TASK 2 performance evaluation model. |
