Solar Charge Controller for 100 Ah Battery
This comprehensive solar charge controller is designed to effectively charge a big 12 V 100 Ah battery with utmost efficiency. The solar charger is practically foolproof in terms of battery over charge, load short circuit, or over current conditions. By Vismit Singh The key elements of this 100 Ah solar regulator circuit are, obviously the […]
Digital Thermometer Circuit – Uses a Solar Cell for Power
The articles explains a digital thermometer circuit project that works without a battery. Instead of a battery the circuit utilizes a small solar cell and operates by deriving power from the ambient light available from the surrounding light sources. This allows the circuit to be extremely compact, light weight, versatile and hassle free while measuring […]
How to Make a Solar Cell from a Transistor
The majority of newbie electronic hobbyists would certainly have a couple of burned up power transistors such as 2N3055 hiding inside their junk box. Supposing we have their internal semiconductor junctions still intact, the device could be transformed into a nice little solar cell by filing or sawing off the top cap of the device, […]
