What is SunAir?

SunAir is a solar power controller / sun tracker / power supply system developed by SwitchDoc Labs

Solar Power
SunAir powering a Raspberry Pi and a SwitchDoc Labs DS3231

 

to power Arduino and Raspberry Pi based systems.  Internally, it is not a simple system, but it is designed to be simple to use.  The board has solar panel charge control system, a voltage booster, two A/D systems and GPIO interface circuitry systems for voltage level shifting and for servo motors as well as aiding in stepper motor control.  SunAirPlus contains more robust A/D converters, voltage and current sensing circuitry and an optional stepper motor controller built into the SunAirPlus board.  The picture to the right shows SunAir Powering a Raspberry Pi and a SwitchDoc Labs Real Time Clock, the DS3231.
