HOW DO YOU CONNECT A SOLAR PANEL AND WIND GENERATOR IN PARALLEL?
Sep 1st
Question by oakwhiz:
How do you connect a solar panel and wind generator in parallel?
I have an ~18v solar panel and a ~15v wind turbine. Sometimes one generates more voltage than the other. How would I get both of them to charge one ~12v battery? I cannot just connect them in parallel with diodes, because in that case, only the higher voltage source gets used. Is there a special charge controller circuit that will do this?
