I am a hobbyist and been working on a solar panel project recently; I've got a panel which produces 10v at 400 mA at bright sunny day whereas in dim light, it’s around 160 mA. I am trying to increase amperes up to 2 Amps for charging batteries for a remote car. I tried making a boost converter using NE555, I was able to increase voltage up to 70 volts however amps remained same or lower in most cases (without load).
I want to keep this handy without purchasing another panel; is there anything else that I can do to increase amps of my circuit. I will store this energy in 1200 mAH battery if battery level goes lower than specific level.
