The below given graph suggests why and how a solar panel produces maximum efficiency when it's allowed to operate at it's maximum circumstantial voltage output. Therefore, as an example a 18V solar panel will operate with maximum efficiency when it's operated at 18V.Īnd in case the sun light gets weaker and the above voltage drops to say 16V, yet still we could operate it with maximum efficiency if we could keep the 16V volts intact and derive the output without affecting or dropping this voltage. In other words the efficiency of a panel is maximum when its voltage is near the rated specified value. With the above conditions if the solar panel undergoes any kind of loading directly, it's current would further go down producing inefficient outputs. For this we normally involve a charger controller in between the solar panel and the battery.Īs a solar panel voltage is never constant and drops with dropping sun light, the current from the solar panel also gets weaker as the sun light intensity gets weaker.

Lead acid batteries or any kind of chargeable battery will require a properly rated input so that it doesn't get damaged and it gets charged optimally. Moreover a solar panel output is associated with inconsistent voltage levels which needs proper regulation in order to operate the load which is normally a lead acid battery. The above also gets affected with overcast conditions. As we all know output from solar panel directly depends the incident rays of the sun, as long as its near perpendicular on it offers good efficiency, which keeps on deteriorating with slanting rays or dipping sun position.

Solar panels are excellent devices since they allow us to harness free electrical energy from sun, however the present devices are not very efficient with their outputs. MPPT stands for Maximum Power Point Tracking, a charger concept specifically intended and designed for acquiring highly efficient solar power harnessing. Here we try to understand the actual circuit concept of MPP T type of solar charger controllers and learn how do these devices work.
