- Figure 1. The maximum power a solar panel can produce and the voltage at which that occurs varies with sunlight intensity, making the panels inefficient when handling static loads
- Figure 2. This circuit senses the solar panel's output voltage and adjusts the load to raise the voltage until maximum power is obtained
- Figure 3. A regulating pulse-width modulator chip that regulates the input voltage rather than the output voltage is the core of the maximum power tracker implementation
