For minicomputer Raspberry Pi has created a console-solar energy generator Bashny.Net

PiSolMan is an integrated electronic module designed for continuous supply of the Raspberry Pi computer Zero from a 12V battery and solar panel. It is comparable in size to the Raspberry Pi is Zero. Board dimensions 65x30.5 mm capable of providing key information, in terms of current, voltage, power, and overall energy efficiency. This module implements a very complex integrated circuits in order to achieve a total efficiency of up to 90%. The compact size makes PiSolMan ideal for demanding space applications for the Raspberry Pi is Zero.

This unit is compatible with any of the models of Raspberry Pi, which has a 40-pin mounting pad, as well as any other gadgets, like 5V Arduino or BeagleBone.





PiSolMan created a Junior researcher at the Italian University Politecnico di Torino by the name of Abel Rodriguez de La Concepcion. In his opinion, the new Board will help the users of Raspberry Pi a Zero nourish your device from solar power, as well as to monitor the overall system power consumption. As an example, he cited wireless camera.

— Despite the relatively low power consumption of the Raspberry Pi, when you add a camera module and a wireless modem (3G / 4G or WiFi), the situation is changing radically. PiSolMan able to provide the necessary energy of this system due to the sun and to provide continuous monitoring and optimization of energy consumption. The station itself does not consume too much energy. However, if module is installed Wi-Fi or 3G, most of the power will go to those devices. During startup on Raspberry simple script connection can be broken and used only in case of emergency on the basis of information about power level, are presented PiSolMan, — explained the engineer.

Abel Rodriguez de La Concepcion is sure that such an extension may benefit many systems, remote automation.

This unit is a project, the implementation of which raise funds on Kickstarter. You can donate from € 59. published
