One of those fun days messing around with a solar panel supercapacitors and a buck boost converter.
Solar panel current booster.
In the morning with a linear current booster the solar panel voltage is not tied to the motor.
The solar power booster is compatible with all commercially available pv panels used in small household medium commercial and large solar farm pv systems.
Currently solar panels cost around 4 00 per watt so that makes a 20w panel about 80 00.
The everforce solar power booster is designed to increase the output of a photovoltaic pv panel by an average of 45 thus significantly increasing the overall output of a pv system.
So batteries and the circuit dictate the solar cell size there are some of these lights with pr sensors that use a 3 7 volt battery and a solar cell of 4 5 volts.
I am using 150 watt solar panel with 60ah deep cycle battery with 1 5 kw inverter with surge power 3 0kw i want to increase the charging rate so am thinking maybe i use current booster to increase the solar panel amps by connecting the current booster to the solar panel then the output of the current booster to the solar charger controller which will now increase the output amps to 18am.
1 x 3 7 volt battery at least 4 5 volt solar cell in.
2 x 1 2 volt batteries at least 3 volt solar cell in full sun.
The lcb increases the current to get the pump s motor moving at the sacrifice of voltage when your panels are not getting full direct.
However in reality without the linear current booster the pumps works significantly less through out the day.
The microcare solar voltage booster is an electronic device which is mounted onto the back of a photovoltaic pv solar panel to interface with and boost the voltage of the solar pv panel.
This method probably won t work if you have solar panels mounted on your roof for obvious reasons.
It is designed to increase the voltage of a standard pv panel 17 35v to match the levels required for use with borehole pumps.
In theory many solar pumps can be powered directly from the right voltage solar panel array.
A 75 increase in power is the equivalent of a 35w solar panel which would cost about 140 00 that s a saving of 60 00.
