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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
PIR Controlled Solar Garden Light Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple automatic PIR controlled solar garden light circuit which will switch ON the LEDs only under two conditions: when it is completely dark and when a human being is detected in the vicinity. The above feature of the circuit ensures that the LEDs are turned ON only when […]
Solar Powered Induction Heater Circuit
In this post I have explained an induction cooker/heater design which may be powered from a solar panel voltage. The idea was requested by Mr. Vamshee Technical Specifications My name is Vamshee and i am from hyderabad , India I am a small time entrepreneur looking to promote and sell new age products into the […]
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, […]
