Shunt Regulator for Solar Cells


Posted on Apr 5, 2012

One application is where you need a Higher Power Zener, Possibly even a 100 watt rating. Another useful application is as a Shunt Regulator for Solar Cells that are used to charge `Lead Acid Batteries`. Simply Place it in parallel with the Solar Cell and use Diode De-coupling between it and the battery.
