This is the simple solar battery charger circuit. It is suitable for charging one or two 1.2V AA nickel-cadmium batteries or AA Ni-MH batteries. Currently, this type of battery has increased capacity, but the price remains the same. For the worth, we should choose the proper battery, I chose the size 1900mAh to 2400mAh.
We will start with the simplest circuit ideas for an LED circuit and a solar charger circuit. First, we use a 12V 2.5Ah battery and a 12V 2W LED. The LED consumes about 0.16A (from 2W/12V). At night, we need about 8 hours of light. So, the LED needs about 1.28A in total, or around 50% of the battery capacity. So it should be enough.
The solar panel supplies the peak voltage of 6 V, at 500 ma during daytime, which charges the battery as long as this voltage is available from the solar panel. The resistor Rx keeps the charging current to a safe lower level so that even after the battery is fully charged, the minimal current does not harm the battery.
In the circuit above, the current from the solar cell flows through D1 to charge the Li-ion battery. When there is less sunlight, the higher voltage from the battery cannot flow back to the solar cell. Because there is a D1 blocking it, the current can flow only one way. The energy in the battery is stored and gradually increases until it is full.
Example: Solar Panel Voltage = 6V Battery Full Charge Spec = 4.2V Battery Charging Current (optimal) = 500 mA Rx = (Vsolar (peak) - Vbattery (full)) / Icharge = (6 - 4.2) / 0.5 = 3.6 Ω Rx Power = (Vsolar (peak) - Vbattery (full)) * Icharge = (6 - 4.2) * 0.5 = 0.9 watts or simply a 1 Watt
Let’s look at the circuit wiring diagram below, which makes it easier for beginners to understand and build this circuit. Install the solar cell on the wooden plank and turn it towards the sunlight. Next, install all parts of the circuit under this solar panel. Connect the circuit to the battery and measure the battery’s voltage.
