Simple Solar Panel Circuit

Bill of materials to get a 6v 4ah solar light circuit employing a 1 watt led.

Simple solar panel circuit.

Pat yourself on your. Since the output of the panels varies from about 10 18volts i d like to regulate it at about 12 13vdc. Rx 10 ohm 2 watt. The above mentioned changeover quickly changes the battery across charging mode to the led mode lighting the led from the battery voltage.

I am building a model of a solar panel house for middle school students. The panel that we re using for these circuits is this one part number pwr1241 from bg micro about 3 each. The diode isolates the batteries from the solar cell so that when the sun is not out the solar cell will not drain the batteries.

Test your solar circuit. The first part of a solar circuit is a device for collecting sunlight. The charging circuit for these batteries is simple a solar cell connected to a diode then connected to a nicad battery. One of the circuits i d like to show is solar panels connected directly to a simple 12vdc 115vac inverter without a battery no sun no power.

To keep things simple we re using a single nicely made small solar panel for all of these circuits.
