Learn about solar and battery power by making this Solar

MPPT Charge Controller for your next project! Uses

a simple Arduino to control and regulate the flow of

power from the solar panel to maximise the benefit and

recharge speed of the battery.

The project also includes an output relay to

automatically turn off when the battery gets too low

voltage.

A great project for DIY amateurs and solar aficionados.
