6. Charge Controllers
Limits the rate at which electric current is added to or drawn from electric batteries.
They prevent overcharging and may prevent overvoltage.

7. Batteries and DC Bus Power Rating: 100 Amp Hours at 20 Hour Rate
1150 Cold Cramping Amps
Keeps DC Bus Stable

8. Hall Effect Current Sensors
Measures current, displays voltage
Linear Relationship
Current is proportional to the voltage reading

9. LabVIEW
Runs without interruption
Reliability
