An ultrasonic water level controller is a device which can detect water levels in a tank without a physical contact and send the data to a distant LED indicator in a wireless GSM mode. In this post I will show how to construct a ultrasonic based solar powered wireless water level indicator using Arduino in […]

Convert SMPS into a Solar Charger
In this post I have explained how to convert smps into a solar charger circuit. The method will result in an extremely efficient and fast solar charging of the connected battery. SMPS Solar Chargers SMPSs have become very common nowadays and we find them being used in the form of AC to DC adapters wherever […]
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 […]
Smart Buck-Boost MPPT Solar Charger Circuit for 12V 24V Battery
In this post we are going to learn how we can make one real working smart solar battery charger circuit which can do MPPT charging. We are using Arduino Nano as the brain for controlling everything. We will also use INA219 sensor module so that we can read the solar voltage and current properly. And […]
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 […]
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 […]
