guess i might be better off buying a mppt regulator off ebay was hoping for a cheaper solution.

Thanks I'll see if I can understand it, I read it but seemed to understand that the amp rating is too low I'll read again.

Thanks for the reply minimum voltage would be zero because it's a solar panel. I don't really need a boost circuit, it would be fine if it just has output over 10v or so. I took a quick look at the data sheet and it says Vin up to 28v the panel I have has a 30.5v output with peaks up to 37v

Hello everyone i'm new to the forum and am looking for help with building a low cost voltage regulator that will regulate an input up to a maximum of 37VDC the output needs to be a voltage compatible with charging a 12 v lead acid battery so i'd guess around 13VDC The components would need to handle 10 A. Basically I came across a broken solar panel that I repaired and would like to use it to charge a 12v battery and then use the battery to run an inverter. Any help on a cheap solution would be appreciated.
