Revolutionizing Solar Power for Drones: The Packet Digital MPPT
The Packet Digital Maximum Power Point Tracker (MPPT) is at the forefront of power conversion technology for solar-powered drones, boasting unparalleled efficiency. Utilizing advanced adaptive search algorithms, it swiftly modifies settings to ensure optimal power transfer from solar panels to battery systems.
designed with compact electronics and a peak capacity of 200W,the MPPT monitors various parameters,including fluctuations in sunlight,solar panel temperature,and the orientation of the vehicle. This capability enhances the performance of solar Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) to unprecedented levels. Furthermore, the system can be tailored to fit specific mission needs.
Notably, the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) has chosen the MPPT for its high-efficiency power management in a long-endurance, portable, and hand-launchable solar UAS.
