You can also use other arduino board like pro mini micro and uno.
Solar panel batter charing circuit arduino.
This uses the energy from some solar cells to charge the batteries and boosts the voltage from it to the 5v used by the arduino uno.
Lets take 100 mah for charging the battery total current required 100 100 200mah from the above calculation it is clear that we need a solar panel of 4v and 200mah.
A simple 400 watt inverter circuit with charger that can be very easily built and optimized has been provided electrical projects electrical engineering electronics gadgets electronics projects electronic circuit design arduino circuit board design simple circuit electronic schematics.
The microcontroller used is in this controller is arduino nano.
It can handle a standard lead acid 12v battery like for a scooter or a car.
It can take up to 20v on the input site of the charger.
This circuit was based on the awesome tutorial by deba168 solar powered arduino weather station.
First you ll have to assemble the solar powered battery charger circuit.
According to these voltages it decides how to charge the battery and control the load.
The controller uses two stages charging algorithm.
Charging voltage is typically around 4 2v.
A 5v step up voltage booster is also connected to the battery and is used to convert from 3 7v dc to 5v dc.
Nowadays the most advance solar charge controller available in the market is maximum power point tracking mppt.
The arduino mcu senses the solar panel and battery voltages.
The amount of charging current is determined by the difference between battery voltage and charge setpoint voltages.
This design is suitable for a 50w solar panel to charge a commonly used 12v lead acid battery.
Furthermore the design has been tested and runs with 90 efficiency under 70ᵒc 158ᵒf.
