  • Purpose of Rectifier in Solar Tracker 5 Circuits

    Hi John and Chuck,

    Just curious as to what the rectifier is used for. I am referring to the one John points out here

    I'm a bit confused because its dc in dc out...I suspect it is for further smoothing of the DC but that's just a guess.

    Thank you for your time,

    Joe

    Joe not all panels have built in diodes so I would guess this is there to ensure the batteries cannot drain back to the panels when it's dark.
