Solar panel usb charger diy.
Thanks to a super sized 40w solar panel charger the x dragon offers a beefy 2 8a amps of power capable of re charging smartphones tablets and even some smaller laptops.
Solder the diode to the red wire on the solar panel with the negative side of the diode marked black facing away from the panel.
Looking at this board we can see that it has the tp4056 chip along with few other.
The central brain of our project is a dc to usb converter circuit.
The n914 diode is a signal diode is an electronic component that prevents current in your solar usb charger circuit to travel in the reverse direction or in essence un charge your electronic device the n914 diode is recognizable because it has a red central body with a thin black line on one end.
Dc to usb converter.
Cost is less than 30.
The first would be using a 6v 1w solar panel.
This takes our aa power.
I can make one for under 10 when i buy parts in bulk.
For simple smartphone charger.
With 4 high brightness leds.
Built in to the x dragon is a 5v 2a charging port for a 5v gadget and a 18v dc output 18v 2a for charging a laptop or other 18v powered devices.
These boards gets.
I have a kit.
Solar panel anker 21w 2 port usb portable solar charger with foldable panel powerport solar for iphone 11 xs xs max xr x 8 7 ipad pro air mini galaxy s9 s8 s7 s6 and more.
The second would be with the same solar panel but to charge 3 7v lithium batteries.
Thank you very much in advance.

How the tp4056 work.
This diode is rated at forward current of 1a with peak reverse voltage rating of 1000v.
Add heat shrink tubing then twist and solder a few inches of fresh wire to the positive side of the diode.
