Many solar-panel-powered applications need only pulses of power to operate. Systems for data collection or measurement sampling frequently need to turn on, perform a measurement or some other task, ...

A German research group is trying to determine whether the combination of solar and storage with direct coupling and without the aid of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) electronics is feasible.

To tackle the problem, Huawei’s smart string inverter solution involves connecting two strings to a single MPPT circuit, and configuring each megawatt with 80 MPPTs. When compared with the central ...

Description of how to use a custom IC implements solar maximum power-point (MPP) tracking in order to power a cooling fan. Harnessing solar energy directly to power a fan provides an environmentally ...

Unique usage of power with solar photovoltaics. Power efficiency assisted via photovoltaics. Designers may not be fully aware of a very powerful technique that can extract maximum power from solar ...

To achieve climate neutrality, use of renewable energy sources must be increased massively. “Large solar parks are very important in this connection,” says Nina Munzke. The researcher at KIT’s ...
