From the project

This project is part of the Solar Power Supply section of the PCB Design with KiCad - Updated for KiCad 9 Udemy course.

This project is part of the Solar Power Supply section of the PCB Design with KiCad - Updated for KiCad 9 Udemy course.

The circuit is designed to accept power from a solar source and provide a regulated output using a boost converter based on the AP3015AKTR-G1.

The design includes input protection, battery connection, power switching, boost conversion, filtering, and output voltage feedback.
