I am building a mobile phone solar charger.
Most examples include a 1N914/1N4148 switching signal diode at the solar panel.
The purpose of the diode is to prevent the solar panel from draining power in dim light.
I'm using a YwRobot MB102 power supply module.
It has a series diode for polarity reversal protection.
Do I still need the switching signal diode?
Thank you for your help.
