The idea of mppt solar
charge controller for remote computing is finally catching on. It is
working for everyone from the cross-country cyclist and weekend camper, to
regular working stiffs that have to rough it on the job.
Solar power is not just a possibility, but could be a
necessity for those that go remote. Solar panels are used to collect solar
energy for direct use or storage in batteries to power up later.
Here is how solar, or photovoltaic energy is realized from
the "How Stuff Works" website. If you are not an electrical engineer
or scientist of some sort, don't be surprised if this does make light bulbs go
off in your head. You can always come back and do further research on the
Internet.
"The off grid
solar inverter that you see on calculators and satellites are photovoltaic
cells or modules (modules are simply a group of cells electrically connected
and packaged in one frame). Photovoltaics, as the word implies (photo = light,
voltaic = electricity), convert sunlight directly into electricity. Once used
almost exclusively in space, photovoltaics are used more and more in less
exotic ways. They could even power your house. How do these devices work?
