This project presents A Single-Stage Bridgeless PFC Charger With Enhanced Power Quality for LEV-Mounted Solar PV Panel with BMS, designed to deliver a highly efficient and intelligent charging solution for Light Electric Vehicles (LEVs). The system integrates an onboard solar PV panel with a DC–DC MPPT converter, a DC–DC charging circuit, and a high-efficiency bridgeless PFC stage for grid charging. The PFC stage ensures unity power factor during AC/grid charging, thereby improving power quality and reducing conduction losses. A Battery Management System (BMS) continuously monitors real-time voltage, current, and temperature of both the solar panel and the rechargeable battery, and displays these parameters on an LCD module for user visibility. An Arduino UNO microcontroller manages MPPT operation, grid/solar charging control, and system safety. To prevent thermal stress, the system includes an automatic cooling fan, driven through a dedicated driver circuit, which activates whenever the battery temperature or solar panel temperature exceeds a safe limit. By combining enhanced power quality, safety protection, and solar energy utilization, the proposed charger provides a compact, reliable, and energy-efficient solution for next-generation LEV applications.
