MPPT solar charger
Lukas Fässler show us his progress on the MPPT solar charger: One of my main goals with this design is to achieve very low standby current, somewhere in the tens of microamps. The basis for this is a low-power buck on the basis of a Texas TPS62120 where the microcontroller can...

MPPT Solar Charger Design based on PIC18F26J50
Lukas Fässler shares his Maximum Point Tracker Solar Charger Design based on PIC18F26J50: At the core of the design is a PIC18F26J50 in a 28 pin SOIC package. It’s capable of running at down to 2.15 volts and consumes extremely little power when running at lower clock speeds. And...

PV cell string optimizer boosts solar panel output up to 30%
Maxim presents its Cell-String Optimizer as the first IC to perform MPPT (maximum power point tracking) at low level in a panel; it allows photovoltaic (PV) panels to harvest significantly more energy and simplifies design complexity for solar installation projects. by Graham...

Arduino based MPPT solar charge controller
by Abid Jamal @ electronicslovers.com: what is Mppt( Maximum power point tracking) ? "we use MPPT algorithm to get the maximum available power from the Photovoltaic module under certain conditions" How MPPT works ? Why 150W solar panel does not equal to 150 w? For example you...
