Lukas Fässler made an MPPT solar charger project and wrote a post on his blog detailing its assembly: The basic idea behind an MPPT solar charger is simple. A solar panel has a certain voltage (in the region of 17 to 18 volts for a 12 volts pannel, somwhat dependent on temperature) at which it […]

App note: Practical guide to implementing Solar Panel MPPT Algorithms
An application note from Microchip: Practical guide to implementing Solar Panel MPPT Algorithms (PDF!) This application note describes how to implement MPPT using the most popular switching power supply topologies. There are many published works on this topic, but only a tiny portion of them show how to actually implement the algorithms in hardware, as […]
