Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

just seen the new silly chip mag and they have a mppt solar regulator circuit aimed at campers/mobile home owners with engel fridges for 12/24 volt systems up to 120w @12v,so can this be tweaked for more amps by adding more mosfets and heatsinking?

G'day Matt,
The sillychip article last year on the solar night light has the circuit and after I complained about no code they put the source code up on their website. Basically that circuit beefed up with a bigger fet and inductor and modifying the code will be good enough for any mppt diy build.

Cheers Bryan
