Questions

What parts does the MPPTSolarCharger use?

45 parts, built around the MIC4605-1YM and PSMN5R5-60YS. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the MPPTSolarCharger KiCad files?

From the SaintGimp/MPPTSolarCharger repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is board/MPPTSolarCharger.kicad_pcb and its schematic board/BatteryCurrentMonitor.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the MPPTSolarCharger design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask SaintGimp before reusing the design.
