Customer:
For a weather station project, I need to power it with solar panels and a battery. I’m looking for an MPPT solar charger to regulate charging from the panel and switch to battery power when it gets dark. Can you recommend a suitable charger that would work with a solar panel setup?

Soldered Support:
You need a component between the solar panel, battery, and Dasduino that will keep the voltage stable, regulate battery charging from the solar panel, and automatically switch to battery power when it gets dark. We don’t currently have an MPPT breakout in stock, but we have this Li-ion battery charger: Li-Ion Charger With Protection - Safe Charging Solution – Soldered Electronics
This could be compatible with your solar panel, but I would personally recommend using a dedicated breakout made specifically for solar panel power to ensure longevity and proper operation of your device. I can recommend some chargers that would be fully compatible with your other components if you’re interested.

ovdje sam kako bi se nadovezao za tehnički upit. Pregledao sam komponente za Vaš projekt i svakako je potreban element između solarnog panela, baterije i Dasduina koji će držati napon koji Dasduino dobiva stabilnim i regulirati punjenje baterije preko solarnog panela, i automatsko prebacivanje na napajanje s baterije kada padne mrak. Pogledao sam detalje o tom proizvodu i mogao bi biti kompatibilan s ovim solarnim panelom, ali osobno bi preporučio korištenje posebnog breakouta napravljenog specifično za napajanje sa solarnim panelom, kako bi osigurali dugovječnost i ispravan rad uređaja. Ako ste zainteresirani, mogu Vam preporučiti neke takve punjače koji bi bili u potpunosti kompatibilni s ostalim navedenim komponentama.
Customer:
Please go ahead and recommend those chargers for solar panel power. I want the weather station to work as long as possible and as reliably as possible. The basic battery charger would also work within my budget though.

slobodno mi preporučite te punjače za napajanje solarnog panela. Naravno da želim da mi meteo postaja radi što dulje i što kvalitetnije.
No i ovaj battery charger mi je dobar i u okviru budžeta.
Hvala!

I’ve consulted with colleagues and they confirmed that the Li-ion charger would work well and be sufficient, just slightly less efficient. Here’s the link to that product: Li-Ion Charger - Fast CC/CV Charging for Projects – Soldered Electronics
Protection on the battery is not necessary because our Li-ion batteries already have it built in.
If you want an MPPT that would be more efficient, you can use this: SparkFun Sunny Buddy - MPPT Solar Charger - SparkFun Electronics

Dodatno sam se konzultirao s kolegama i rekli su da bi li-ion charger bio sasvim dovoljno dobar i radio kako bi bilo očekivano, samo bi bio malo manje efikasan. Evo linka na taj proizvod:
Li-Ion Charger - Fast CC/CV Charging for Projects – Soldered Electronics . Protection na bateriji nije potreban zato što ga naše li-ion baterije već imaju.
