This is a demonstration board based on the SPV1040 high efficiency solar battery charger with embedded MPPT, which can maximize the energy generated by even a single solar cell (or fuel cell).
The STEVAL-ISVO06V2 is a demonstration board based on the STMicroelectronics SPV1040 high-efficiency solar battery charger. This device utilizes a proprietary 'perturb & observe' algorithm to maximize energy harvesting from single solar cells or fuel cells, even under varying environmental conditions.
The device stops PWM switching if the maximum current threshold of 2 A is reached.
The device stops PWM switching if the maximum temperature limit of 155 °C is exceeded.
The PV panel can be replaced with panels having a power up to 5 W.
