A very simple solar charger circuit project can be
designed using few external electronic parts . This simple solar charger
circuit is capable of handling charge currents of up to 1A. Alternate
component values are given in the figure for lower current applications.

The
only adjustment is the voltage trip point when the current is shunted
through the transistor and load resistor. This should be set with a
fully charged battery. As the transistor and R3 have the entire panel’s
output across them when the battery is fully charged, all of the current
from the panel will be going through R3 and the Darlington transistor
TIP112, so these must be well heat sunk. Adjust R1 for the trip point,
usually 14.4 V – 15 V for a 12 V SLA or a 12 V Ni-Cd battery.
