Power trackers in solar car.

When the solar array is charging the batteries the peak power trackers help to protect the batteries from being damaged by overcharging. Be sure to verify with the power tracker vendor the necessary array voltage to feed the power trackers. Peak power trackers can be very lightweight and commonly reach efficiencies above 95. They are essential in a solar car.

Power trackers are available from aerl. William shih northview solar racing team last modified. As this is a non precision orientation it is unsuitable for certain types of concentrating photovoltaic collectors but works fine. The racemax 600b maximizer is a high efficiency boost only common negative peak power point tracker specially designed for solar racing cars it employs a tracking algorithm which regulates the pv array voltage to a fixed percentage of its open circuit voltage.

Since they capture more power per panel solar trackers also reduce the amount of space needed to power a property or group of properties. The number of peak power trackers used in a solar car varies with each team s design. If the car drives underneath shade the power trackers automatically adjusts the power to match system voltage allowing the system to run as efficient as possible. Greatly immune to local extrema resulting.
