How to Make a Solar Panel Optimizer Circuit
The proposed solar optimizer circuit can be used for getting the maximum possible output in terms of current and voltage from a solar panel, in response to the varying sun light conditions. A couple of simple yet effective solar panel optimizer charger circuit are explained in this post. The first one can be built using […]
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 […]
Homemade Solar MPPT Circuit – Poor Man’s Maximum Power Point Tracker
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 […]
Generate Electricity from your Gym Workout
In this article I have explained the circuit implementation of an interesting concept of converting physical energy into electricity. Here I have explained a simple method of converting or channelizing the wasted gym workout energy into useful electrical energy. The idea was requested by one of the keen members of this blog, let’s know more: […]
MPPT vs Solar Tracker – Differences Explored
The post investigates two popular solar harnessing counterparts the MPPT and the solar tracker, and figures out the major differences between these two outstanding free energy spinning devices. It’s true that our planet is blessed with many free energy sources such as wind energy, hydro energy, sun or solar energy etc but unless these are […]
