How to connect a solar panel to a supercapacitor?

To connect a solar panel to a supercapacitor, follow these steps: Connect the 2 supercapacitor banks on their respective places on the balance board. All other circuits, including the solar panel, are soldered in the same place. Connect all plus wires (brown) from the solar panel and the capacitors to the positive plate. Connect all minus wires (white) from the solar panel and the capacitors to the negative plate. Put the board in the box, so you can close it.

Are supercapacitors suitable for solar charging?

Supercapacitors are suitable for solar charging because they can handle non-stop charging/discharging cycles with different currents and unstable parameters. They last longer than batteries and this device can be used for a very long time. In this project, I decided to use supercapacitors instead of batteries for this reason.

What happens if a SuperCap is connected to a solar charger?

At this point only the supercap and the solar charger are connected to the DC bus, and the supercap will be lower voltage than the battery. As the solar charger charges the supercap to just above battery voltage the next day the BMS reconnects via an automatic precharge to the bus. There is a NH00 100amp fuse as backup protection.

How to connect a SuperCap bank to a 3V regulator?

To connect a supercapacitor bank to a 3V regulator, solder the regulator output directly to the last LED leads on the supercapacitor bank. Alternatively, connect the other wires to the switch and the 3rd pin, and use the Scheme. In the end, you will need longer wires to solder to the supercapacitor board. After installing the supercap banks, mount the USB socket in the designated hole.
