How to Calculate Solar Panel, Inverter, Battery Parameters
In this post I have explained through calculations how to select and interface the solar panel, inverter and charger controller combinations correctly, for acquiring the most optimal results from the set up. Calculating Solar Panel, Inverter and Battery Charger Specifications For the sake of convenience, let’s believe you possess a a 100 watt appliance or […]
Solar Water Heater Circuit with Battery Charger
The proposed solar water heater with battery charger controller circuit explains a simple method of utilizing the excess solar energy from a solar panel for heating water in water tanks or swimming pools or poultry egg chambers. Normally the circuit also functions like an automatic solar battery charger, and simultaneously powers domestic electrical appliances. Understanding Solar Charging […]
Designing a Grid-Tie Inverter Circuit
A grid tie inverter works quite like a conventional inverter, however the power output from such inverter is fed and tied with the AC mains from the utility grid supply. As long as the mains AC supply is present, the inverter contributes its power to the existing grid mains supply, and stops the process when […]
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 […]
How to Make LED/LDR Opto Coupler
Ever needed an application where the resistance of a resistor needed to vary proportionately in response to a PWM or a varying analog voltage? Yes, this is where an LED-LDR opto-coupler becomes so useful. The following image shows the symbol for a LED LDR opto-coupler. Any other regular opto-coupler, such as an LED/transistor, LED/FET, or […]
