Simple solar charger circuits are small devices which allow you to charge a battery quickly and cheaply, through solar panels. A simple solar charger circuit must have 3 basic features built-in: It should be low cost. Layman friendly, and easy to build. Must be efficient enough to satisfy the fundamental battery charging needs.
This solar charger is a very important board that will enable you to have your solar-charged to the maximum power output that is intended. Components needed for the Project. In modern technology, solar panels are charged by the use of the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technology.
But to charge a battery with a solar panel, the most popular choice is the MPPT or maximum power point tracker topology because it provides much better accuracy than other methods like PWM controlled chargers. MPPT is an algorithm commonly used in solar chargers.
A charger design that efficiently extracts power from a solar panel must be able to steer the panel’s output voltage to the point of maximum power when illumination levels cannot support the charger’s full power requirements. Figure 1.
The microcontroller used is in this controller is Arduino Nano. This design is suitable for a 50W solar panel to charge a commonly used 12V lead-acid battery. You can also use other Arduino board like Pro Mini,Micro and UNO. Nowadays the most advance solar charge controller available in the market is Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT).
The solar charge controller is to charge our batteries and we should be very careful while doing the connections to ensure that we do not miss a connection since any error might lead to loss of our solar panel or a battery which are very expensive. Below is the image of a completely routed PCB board, ready for Layout.
