Hey everyone,
I have found something that has peaked my interest and I'm curious if there are any devices similar to this that could maybe do what I want.
I have a power characterization PCB operating from four 18650 batteries(Lithium ion) connected in series. The PCB works like a combiner box and 22 solar panels are connected to the system in series. When the electronics are not operating and measuring the power(which is the majority of the time), the panels are coupled in series to an inverter.
Each panel is 350 W with a open circuit voltage of 45V. I'd like to have some form of energy harvesting when I can tap off power from the panel connected to ground(the lowest panel in the connection - 45V to ground) and tap off power from it as to not throw the inverter off(interfere with operation) but use some of the power to charge the batteries. It seems like the above mentioned part does something like this but on a small scale. Are there any IC's that can do this?
Any help will really be appreciated!
If more information is required please let me know!
Thanks in advance
