In order to sense the solar panel voltage a voltage divider was used to step it down, as it can be greater than the maximum voltage of 5V that the Arduino can handle and thus it can damage the board.

MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) Solar Charge Controller using Arduino to optimize solar charging efficiency. The controller converts excess solar panel voltage into current, maximizing energy use.
