MPPT stands for maximum power point tracker, which is an electronic system designed for optimizing the varying power output from a solar panel module such that the connected battery exploits the maximum available power from the solar panel. Introduction NOTE: The discussed MPPT circuits in this post do not employ the conventional control methods like “Perturb and […]

True MPPT Solar Controller Circuit using IC 555
Are you wondering if it was possible to build a very simple MPPT circuit using ordinary parts like IC 555 and IC 741, which would work most efficiently imitating a true MPPT? The answer is yes, it is possible, and we will learn about it details, in the following article. In this design I used […]
Real MPPT Solar Charger Circuit Using Arduino, LCD, and Manual/Auto Switch
So in this article we are trying to make a true MPPT solar charger project using Arduino which will charge a 12V battery from a solar panel and will use MPPT logic to always extract maximum power from the solar panel. That means that even when sunlight changes, we try to adjust PWM duty cycle […]
Single LM317 based MPPT Simulator Circuit
To make this simple MPPT circuit we first modify a standard LM317 power supply circuit into a buck converter then configure it with a solar panel for implementing an MPPT function. Modifying a LM317 Power Supply into an MPPT Solar Optimizer In our previous article I have explained how a standard LM317 power supply could […]
Connecting MPPT with Solar Inverter
The small discussion I have I have explained in this article explains whether or not it is advisable to Connect parallel MPPTs with Solar inverters for increasing the net current value of the MPPTs. The question was raised by Mr. Ahmed Qaid Want to Convert Home Inverter to Solar hello sir, I have many questions […]
Best 3 MPPT Solar Charge Controller Circuits for Efficient Battery Charging
An MPPT as we all know refers to maximum power point tracking which is typically associated with solar panels for optimizing their outputs with maximum efficiency. In this post I have explained the 3 best MPPT controller circuits for efficiently harnessing solar power and charging a battery in the most efficient manner. Where an MPPT […]
