Solar Panel Regulator

it is just for a simple project, but i am looking for a cheap, low cost, around one to two volts solar panel regulator.
could y'all please help?

Solar cells shouldn't need a voltage regulator for simple projects like driving motors or powering CMOS electronic circuits. I would need to know a little more on your goals for the project to help. However, I will put a few links that may be...

hi,

i have 4 solar panels. I can get 9V 400mA when i wired them parallel. The question is: how can i make a regulator circuit to store power into batteries.
Thanks. But do i need to add a regulator?

wire them in series parallel to get 18 volts at 200 mA, and that should charge a 12 volt battery. You may want to put in a series diode to prevent the battery from discharging into the panel when the sun is out. At 200 mA, depending on the battery...

I recently acquired a solar panel and charge regulator. I was hoping to use while at this week long camping/music festival thing in the summer. My friends always kill their batteries charging their phones and such. I was planning on connecting the...

Check the specifications on the regulator to make sure it will block current from flowing backwards from your battery. You do not want to discharge the battery at night time. You can also check this by placing a 100 ohm resistor in series with one

Most regulators will have 3 leads
A.positive input from the panels
B.regulated output to the batteries
C.common ground.

For currents less than 1 amp,a cheap regulator to use is available from Radio Shack....

So I installed a solar system I bought at harbor freight and was planning on getting the rest of the panels later. It says to leave the regulator on only when your at home. I was thinking what is the difference between my system and the $10,000...

The harbor freight type system is intended to charge a battery, and is low power. It's good for experimenting, but is not very efficient, and not very powerful. I've seen an experimenter say that their 15-watt panel only gave him 5 watts in...

My Solar Battery is getting over-charged by a solar panel because there is no regulator between the panel & battery to monitor the battery energy. I once built a battery charger using info I got from the D.I.Y.com site but this time, the site...
