MPPTs
29-06-2023: Preliminary MPPT Testing
Tested one of the MPPT boards using a power supply (Sparky) and load (Rigol DL3031)
Load set to 25V, power supply to 2A and set to ~8V (max 15V)
Power output around 16W, an efficiency of ~91-92%
Conditions: cloudy, no direct sun, ~22°
Replaced the power supply with a large solar panel
Voltage around 6V and current 7.78mA
Load: ~25V; 0.027A; 0.6-0.7W
Another panel connected in series, power output increased to ~0.8W
When the protective layer from the larger solar panel was removed, increased power output to 0.83W-1.0W
Note: large panel (28 cells) and smaller panel (16 cells)
