Diy voltage regulator for solar panel.

Zeallife solar panels charge controller 8 amps battery regulator for 12v solar battery charger solar battery maintainer and 12 volt batteries power kit safe protection this product the zeallife solar panels charge controller is great for those regulating the voltage from a 12 volt solar panel to a safe level for charging 12 volt batteries. Regarding the battery ah capacity it is generally best if the battery can be fully charged within one day or less. A simple solar panel voltage regulator circuit may be witnessed in the following diagram the given switch may be used for selecting a battery charging option or directly driving the inverter through the panel. Photovoltaics the process of making electricity from sunlight is growing in popularity among alternative energy enthusiasts.

When the batteries voltage reached 14 volt its automatically switch the relay to n c if you are using solar panel you don t need an dummy load to dump the excess power. Lead acid battery which is used here has specification of 12v 1 3ah. 4 2 out of 5 stars 373. Is that matched close enough to get by without a voltage regulator.

You can add an extra battery to the n c to harvest the excess power. When the battery voltage is less than 14 9 v the it start charging by passing current through n o of the relay. In order to charge this battery following are required. Here i am selecting 17v 5w solar panel.

If a 20w solar panel has an output current of 2 5a in full sunlight the charge current will be 2 5a. And for good reasons. 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. The solar panel voltage specs may be anywhere between 18v and 24v.

I could get a cheap voltage regulator but that would limit the efficiency of the solar panel for charging during the short daylight hours.
