# Soporte para el panel solar

### Configuración de Energía Solar para Raspberry Pi y Registradores de Datos Particle <a href="#undefined" id="undefined"></a>

El sistema utiliza dos configuraciones solares distintas, adaptadas a los requisitos energéticos de cada dispositivo.

**Para el registrador de datos Particle Boron:**\
Se emplea un panel solar Voltaic de 5W y 6V (con recubrimiento ETFE y clasificación IP67) junto con una batería USB V50. Esta configuración proporciona energía confiable fuera de la red, entregando un voltaje pico de 6.12V y una corriente de 940mA, suficiente para el registro de datos celular de bajo consumo. La batería V50 garantiza el funcionamiento durante la noche, mientras que el cable impermeable de 50 cm del panel facilita el montaje en exteriores.

**Para el Raspberry Pi 3B+ (de mayor consumo):**\
Se utiliza un panel solar de 20W y 12V que carga una batería de 12V a través de un controlador de carga (por ejemplo, PWM o MPPT) para evitar la sobrecarga. Un convertidor buck reduce la salida de la batería de 12V a 5V/2A para alimentar la Raspberry Pi, asegurando un funcionamiento estable incluso con periféricos como sensores Grove o módems celulares. Esta configuración cubre el consumo aproximado de 5.25W de la Pi e incluye un corte por bajo voltaje para proteger la batería.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://3dpaws.comet.ucar.edu/es/instrumentos/soporte-para-el-panel-solar.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
