PWM Solar V1.1 Update
After about 2 months of continuous operation IRF9504 failed. I guess that is due to heat up.
The cause of heat up , as i assume is slow switching off time due to i have used 22k resistor to switch off the mosfet.
Further arduino board got burned out ( as it seems entire flash is erased due to electrical shock) while testing.
Time to design a PCB with proper safety features. (Fuses , MOVs) and improve the mosfet switching using dedicated mosfet driver.
while I am designing dedicated featured circuitry. I purchased a 10A solar controller from aliexpress.
This has impressive circuitry as discussed in following video post.
