Arduino Solar Panel Battery

First you ll have to assemble the solar powered battery charger circuit.

Arduino solar panel battery.

Sleep saves battery however the sensors and power regulators 7805 will still consume battery in idle mode draining the battery. This project can also solve the efficiency issue of arduino when in sleep. I used the middle screw terminal for battery connection left to it is for solar panel and the right one is for the load. Solar cells are connected to the input of the lithium battery charger tp4056 whose output is connected to the 18560 lithium battery.

A 5v step up voltage booster is also connected to the battery and is used to convert from 3 7v dc to 5v dc. The sensor module along with arduino taking 100mah current. A time switching battery powered solar charged circuit used to power an arduino uno and some peripherals. In this video i will start a project to use solar energy to power esp8266 or arduino devices during the whole year.

Solar charged battery powered arduino uno project in progress by igor fonseca albuquerque. This circuit was based on the awesome tutorial by deba168 solar powered arduino weather station. Now we will calculate the size of the solar panel and battery to power my circuit that draws 23 ma. In my previous version the power supply for arduino was provided by a 9v battery.

Calculating solar panel and battery sizes. Using the percentages calculated above this means i will have 6 7 hours of sunlight for charging time on the shortest day of the year 67 of 10 hours 6 7 hours. This uses the energy from some solar cells to charge the batteries and boosts the voltage from it to the 5v used by the arduino uno. Add 3 screw terminals for solar input battery and load terminal connections.

Battery capacity is 1300mah c 10 130mah the solar panel has to provide current 100mah for arduino along with a current not more than 130mah. Using the percentages calculated above this means i will have 6 7 hours of sunlight for charging time on the shortest day of the year 67 of 10 hours 6 7 hours. Battery voltage 1 2 x 2 2 4v so required voltage for solar panel 2 4 x 1 5 3 6v by taking some margin we can choose a 4v solar panel for it. This circuit was based on the awesome tutorial by deba168 solar powered arduino weather station.
