- Solar Panels
The board can charge a 3.7V lithium battery using either a solar panel or a USB power source. It also provides a regulated 3.3V output suitable for microcontrollers, wireless modules, and sensors. Built in protection circuits prevent over charge, over discharge, reverse connection, and output short circuits, improving system reliability and battery lifespan.
Features
- Solar power management module for low power IoT systems
- Integrated SPV1050 solar energy harvesting IC
- Maximum Power Point Tracking MPPT technology
- Supports small solar panels from 0.5V to 4V
- Dual charging sources via solar panel or USB
- Stable regulated 3.3V output for microcontrollers
- Ultra low quiescent current for energy efficient operation
- Over charge and over discharge battery protection
- Short circuit and over current protection
- Compact size suitable for embedded applications
