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 […]
High Efficiency Solar Charger Circuits using Switching Regulators
Solar power or electricity from sun light is so abundant that we can afford to waste it or dissipate it in the form heat. This means that we can use large, high power solar panels to charge batteries with lower power without bothering about how much solar energy is being wasted and how much the […]
Generator/Alternator AC Voltage Booster Circuit
In this article I have explained an alternator power booster circuit which was unveiled by one of the keen followers of this blog, Mr Michael Mbamobi. I have explained more about the details. Technical Specifications There is this circuit I want to show you. I want to show you the circuit through Homemade Circuit or Brighthub. I […]
PIR Controlled Solar Garden Light Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple automatic PIR controlled solar garden light circuit which will switch ON the LEDs only under two conditions: when it is completely dark and when a human being is detected in the vicinity. The above feature of the circuit ensures that the LEDs are turned ON only when […]
Solar Powered Induction Heater Circuit
In this post I have explained an induction cooker/heater design which may be powered from a solar panel voltage. The idea was requested by Mr. Vamshee Technical Specifications My name is Vamshee and i am from hyderabad , India I am a small time entrepreneur looking to promote and sell new age products into the […]
