In this post I have explained a simple IC 555 based self optimizing solar battery charger circuit with buck converter circuit that automatically sets and adjusts the charging voltage in response to the fading sunlight conditions, and tries to maintain an optimal charging power for the battery, regardless of the sun ray intensities. Using a […]

Solar E Rickshaw Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple solar electric rickshaw or E rickshaw circuit which can easily built by anybody at home and used with a locally fabricated vehicle. The idea was requested by Mr. Amit. The Design Selecting a BLDC In one of my earlier posts I presented an idea which could be […]
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 […]
9 Simple Solar Battery Charger Circuits
Simple solar charger circuits are small devices which allow you to charge a battery quickly and cheaply, through solar panels. A simple solar charger circuit must have 3 basic features built-in: In this post I will comprehensively explain nine best yet simple solar battery charger circuits using the IC LM338, transistors, MOSFET, buck converter, etc […]
Simple Solar Tracker System – Mechanism and Working
The circuit and the mechanism I have explained in this article may be considered as the easiest and perfect dual axis solar tracker system. How the Dual Axis Solar Tracker Concept Works The device is able to track the daytime motion of the sun precisely and shift in the vertical axis accordingly. The device also […]
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 […]
