In order to regulate the voltage from the solar panel normally a voltage regulator circuit is used in between the solar panel output and the battery input. This circuit makes sure that the voltage from the solar panel never exceeds the safe value required by the battery for charging.
In the project, the regulated voltage is utilized to charge a battery. The project involves deriving DC voltage from the solar panel, regulating input voltage, voltage adjustment, and back current protection. The LM-317 IC is used for the voltage regulation while a variable resistor is used for setting the output voltage to desired levels.
Most professionals prefer to install a separate solar charge regulator so that the current can be more closely and accurately monitored. You can also purchase a handheld current gauge to test the output levels of your solar panels.
The DC output from the solar panel is not regulated and needs to be made ripple free using a voltage regulator. Once the voltage drawn from the solar panel is regulated to desired levels it can be utilized for powering load circuits. In the project, the regulated voltage is utilized to charge a battery.
