6 FAQs about [Solar panel capacitor charging and discharging circuit]
What happens if you connect a discharged capacitor to a solar panel?
A discharged capacitor is, essentially, a short circuit. So connecting a discharged capacitor will short-out your solar panel, until the capacitor voltage rises as it charges. With a supercapacitor, it will take a very long time to charge - so the voltage will remain low for a long time.
How to calculate the charging-discharging of a solar panel capacitor?
For exact calculation of the charging-discharging of the capacitor, we would need: The link to the datasheet of your solar panel. Information on the load attached to it (link if possible, minimum and maximum voltage.) You'll have to get more than 3V out of your panels and more than 3V on the cap/battery to get some seconds of 3V 500mA out of it.
Should I use a resistor or a capacitor for a solar panel?
The resistor is useless. Your solar panel already has a voltage decreasing when current increases (that is, it is not an ideal voltage source,) and the maximum current your small panel produces should be no issue at all for the capacitor. There is no reason to dissipate power as heat The 1N4148 diode you use is not adapted for your application.
What happens if a SuperCap is connected to a solar charger?
At this point only the supercap and the solar charger are connected to the DC bus, and the supercap will be lower voltage than the battery. As the solar charger charges the supercap to just above battery voltage the next day the BMS reconnects via an automatic precharge to the bus. There is a NH00 100amp fuse as backup protection.
What is a simple solar charger circuit?
Simple solar charger circuits are small devices which allow you to charge a battery quickly and cheaply, through solar panels. A simple solar charger circuit must have 3 basic features built-in: It should be low cost. Layman friendly, and easy to build. Must be efficient enough to satisfy the fundamental battery charging needs.
How does a solar charger work?
As the solar charger charges the supercap to just above battery voltage the next day the BMS reconnects via an automatic precharge to the bus. There is a NH00 100amp fuse as backup protection. When the voltage rises to useable level the inverter reconnects. Something that sophisticated and you use a resistor for charging, wasting half your power.
