- Prepare the customized PCB workspace, ensuring ESD-safe grounding, clean soldering iron tips, flux paste, and lead-free solder wire.
2
Hardware Assembly & Wiring
- Solder the CN3791 Solar MPPT Battery Charger circuit onto the PCB, connecting the SOLAR_PANEL_INPUT interface (SOLAR_IN, GND) and attaching leads for the NCR18650B Li-ion battery (BAT+, BAT-).
- Integrate the MP2307 Buck-Boost Regulator to step down the battery/solar voltage, outputting a clean 3.3V system rail to power the ESP32-WROOM-32 module.
- Assemble the PC817 optocoupler and MMBT2222A transistor isolation circuit, wiring the RELAY_CTRL signal from the ESP32-WROOM-32 to the level-shifting stage, and connecting COIL_DRIVE and 5V power to the Songle SRD-05VDC-SL-C Relay.
- Mount and solder the WS2812B RGB Status LED, connecting LED_DATA to the designated ESP32 GPIO, along with 3.3V and GND power lines.
- Wire the analog telemetry lines, connecting SOLAR_ADC and BAT_ADC from the MPPT charger and battery nodes to the ESP32 analog-to-digital converter pins for remote power monitoring.
3
Firmware Setup
- Connect the ESP32-WROOM-32 module to a development computer via a USB-to-UART bridge adapter for flashing the firmware code.
- Configure the firmware source code with Wi-Fi/BLE credentials, GPIO mappings for RELAY_CTRL and LED_DATA, and ADC scaling factors for solar and battery monitoring.
- Compile and flash the firmware binary to the ESP32-WROOM-32 flash memory, verifying successful compilation and bootloader execution via the serial monitor.
4
Testing & Calibration
- Perform a power-on self-test (POST) using bench power supply set to 3.7V, checking that the MP2307 regulator outputs a stable 3.3V rail and the WS2812B LED lights up to indicate pairing status.
- Test wireless connectivity by initiating Wi-Fi pairing mode, connecting to the local network, and responding to smart home automation toggle commands.
- Verify relay actuation and galvanic isolation by sending remote switch commands from the ESP32, listening for the mechanical click of the Songle relay, and measuring continuity across the 10A/250VAC load terminals.
- Calibrate the solar energy harvest and battery telemetry by exposing the LL200-3.6-75 solar panel to indoor ambient light, and verifying that SOLAR_ADC and BAT_ADC readings match multimeter measurements in the firmware dashboard.

Design Schemes
Solar MPPT with Isolated Relay Switching ★
Utilizes a dedicated solar MPPT charger with Li-ion storage, an ESP32-WROOM-32 wireless module, and an optically isolated relay driver for high-voltage safety.
Trade-offs: Higher component count and board complexity, but provides superior battery longevity, safety isolation, and reliable solar energy harvesting in indoor environments.
Key IC selection
main wireless microcontroller
- Need: Provide dual-core processing with integrated Wi-Fi and BLE for IoT wall switch control while maintaining low deep-sleep power consumption.
- Class: Wi-Fi + BLE SoC Module
- Shortlist: Espressif ESP32-WROOM series, Realtek RTL8710af module
- Pick: Select based on module certification (FCC/CE), flash size (4MB), and stock availability in distribution channels.
solar battery charger IC
- Need: Extract maximum power from a low-current indoor solar panel and safely manage single-cell Li-ion battery charging.
- Class: Switch-mode or Linear Solar MPPT Li-ion Battery Charger IC
- Shortlist: Consonance CN3791, Analog Devices LT3652
- Pick: Choose based on input voltage range matching the 5V/6V solar panel, quiescent current, and external component footprint.
system power buck-boost regulator
- Need: Maintain a steady 3.3V output as the Li-ion battery discharges (3.0V to 4.2V) or when solar input fluctuates.
- Class: Synchronous Buck-Boost DC-DC Converter
- Shortlist: Texas Instruments TPS63020, Monolithic Power Systems MP2145
- Pick: Select based on light-load efficiency (crucial for solar standby autonomy) and quiescent current.
Risk register
| ID | Area | Severity | Detail | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| r1 | power | high | Indoor ambient light energy harvesting may yield insufficient average current to offset ESP32 Wi-Fi idle and transmission power consumption, leading to battery depletion over time. | Implement aggressive duty-cycling and deep-sleep modes in firmware, optimize Wi-Fi beacon intervals, and ensure the indoor solar panel area and MPPT efficiency match worst-case winter lighting conditions. |
| r2 | thermal | med | Enclosed wall switch junction boxes lack active ventilation, which can trap heat generated by the relay coil and power regulation circuitry, impacting Li-ion battery lifespan. | Design adequate copper thermal relief around the power regulator and relay driver, and ensure the battery is physically separated or thermally isolated from high-dissipation components. |
| r3 | emi | high | Switching high-voltage AC loads via the mechanical relay in close proximity to the ESP32 antenna and sensitive analog lines can cause MCU resets or erratic wireless behavior due to EFT/surges. | Ensure proper PCB clearance and creepage distances between high-voltage AC traces and low-voltage DC sections, add snubber circuits across relay contacts, and include robust decoupling on the 3.3V rail. |
