3 Simple Solar Panel/Mains Changeover Circuits
The discussed automatic change over relay circuit was requested by Mr.Karimulla Baig. The circuit normally charges the connected battery at constant current through the power received from the solar panel, and reverts to DC power from an AC/DC adapter in the absence of solar energy (during night time). Let’s the read the request in more details: Technical […]
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 […]
Easiest Single Axis Solar Tracker System
In this post I have explained how to make a very easy solar tracker circuit using a predetermined algorithm through a 555 IC timer circuit. Introduction In this site I have already published a solar tracker system circuit which is intended for automatically adjusting the solar panel face such that it stays perpendicular to the incident sun rays at […]
