Low cost solar energy converter for isolated load and/or battery charging
Solar panels are good alternative energy sources for isolated load. Considering the high cost of electrical energy available such sources, it is worthwhile to economize in its capital cost. A low-cost DC-DC converter can be very attractive in such a case. The project will start from literature resea...
