Solar power supply for GO Battery power rail

We have seen how to make a 6V power supply for the GO Battery starting rail. The 6V mains power supply principle is thus identical to the First circuit that we have made. As a result, we can use the same solar power supply as the First circuit for our GO Battery circuit.

A quick reminder of the solar module diagram.

We will therefore use the same solar power supply, however, the consumption of GO cars on the GO Battery circuit is higher than that of FIRST vehicles. Thus the autonomy will be lower. To compensate for this, it is possible to double the accumulator part to increase the storage capacity. We can also increase the size of the solar panel with a slightly greater intensity delivered (while remaining within the limits of the charger’s capacities).

Very easily we can adapt, recycle the solar module that we had made for the First circuit. If that’s not ecological!
