Abstract :
This paper presents a developed system for testing the photovoltaic chargers for Lithium-ion battery. The system is based on the NI cRIO platform using LabVIEW graphical programming language. The tested chargers are based on dedicated chips that are using maximum power point tracking algorithms for extracting the maximum energy from solar panels.
