An integrated, high voltage multi-chemistry synchronous monolithic step-down battery charger and PowerPath manager with onboard telemetry functions and optional maximum power point tracking (MPPT) has been announced by Analog Devices. The Power by Linear LTC4162 is 3.2A, 35VIN/35VOUT...

You want to maximize the power output of your solar panel? Then you need a maximum power point tracking charge controller! Source files here. Features: Programmable with Arduino IDE Input voltage: 15 - 22V Output voltage: 1 - 14.4V Simple MPPT (Maximum Power Point...

A 75 watt MPPT Solar Charger with tons of features. Efficiency > 97%, USB interface, data logging, 2 USB charging ports and much more...by Lukas Fässler This is an open source project that I've been working on for several years now. From its modest beginnings it has evolved to a...

by Bryce Salmi @ faradayrf.com: The Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation, AMSAT, recently designated RadFxSat as AO-91 after its successful deployment from a Delta II rocket as a secondary payload to NASA’s JPSS-1. RadFxSat is the first of several AMSAT satellites which are flying a...

A PDF from Microchip on the theory behind inverter design connected to grip power.: There are two main requirements for solar inverter systems: harvest available energy from the PV panel and inject a sinusoidal current into the grid in phase with the grid voltage. In order to harvest...

Lukas Fässler from Soldernerd has been working on revised version of his MPPT Solar charger project: Over the last few weeks I have been quite busy with my MPPT Solar Charger project. I’ve built up a first board and started writing firmware for it. Since the last version was not...

Patrick Van Oosterwijck @ hackaday.io writes: Solar power is not trivial, especially if it needs to be reliable and have a long lifetime for outdoor deployment such as IoT sensor nodes. This project is an effort to create a complete, easy to use solar power system that provides the...

José M Blanes and Ausiàs Garrigós writes: Electronics engineers often use photovoltaic-module simulators to test dc/dc-power converters, inverters, or MPPT (maximum-power-point-tracking)-control techniques. The use of these simulators lets you work in the laboratory with...
