Power supply for solar cell output - has adaptive DC=DC converter to raise or directly connect cell output to storage accumulators

TLDR
In this paper, a power supply unit for electrical equipment, primarily agricultural electric fences, using solar cells, dc/dc converter and storage batteries is described, where the output from the solar cells is controlled by an output switching transistor associated with the output diode.
Abstract
Power supply unit for electrical equipment, primarily agricultural electric fences, using solar cells, dc/dc converter and storage batteries. The dc/dc converter circuit also regulates the output from the solar cells for optimum performance, i.e. supply to equipment and charging batteries under sunny and cloudy conditions but allowing discharge to power the equipment at night and during rainy weather. The dc/dc converter (11) raises the lower voltage output (U1) from the solar cells (4), under adverse light conditions, to the value required (U2) for charging the storage accumulators (5). The converter also charges the accumulators directly via the primary (1) of the converter transformer and a diode (8) when the solar cell (4) output exceeds the accumulator (5) potential under favourable conditions. Operation is controlled by an output switching transistor (2) associated with the output diode (8) and by the converter internal circuitry (13).

Universal regulator for maximising the power of photovoltaic electrical power supplies and for high-efficiency DC/DC voltage converters

TL;DR: In this paper, a voltage source (negative impedance) which is controlled by the output voltage and is supplied from the solar module is used instead of a regulating resistor, which consumes energy.

Electrical meadow fence appliance for operating with solar cell fitted on casing, incorporates casing body and casing cover fastening solar cell holder with two opening slits for shaft of light

Kolb Peter
TL;DR: In this paper, a meadow fence appliance is fitted between a solar cell and a casing to avoid over-heating of the solar cell on one side and of the inner space of the casing on the other side.
Patent

Vehicular power source system

TL;DR: In this paper, a vehicle is used to power a microcomputer memory or arithmetic circuit as a load, and the data stored in the memory can always be preserved, since the voltage drop of a battery produced when operating the vehicle is not applied to the load.

Electric power supplying device for e.g. one-family house, has photovoltaic solar array, motor with pump sucking water using suction kit, pipes to transport pressurized water to vats of constant level, and accumulator supplying inverter

Jolly Daniel
TL;DR: In this article, a photovoltaic solar array with a regulator permitting to recharge an accumulator and an electric motor was used to provide 220 volts direct current to an electric fence.
