Respected All!
I am not much into electronics and would like to ask a question, sorry if its too basic... I have two independent solar cell modules of same type which output 2-7Volts (with slight mvolt variation within both outputs) and i want to add both output voltages using a Summing Amplifier (like TI's LMC72xx). I need your kind guidance for:
1... Can both inputs (outputs of solar cells) be add together provided if both are input to Summing Amplifier (IN+ and IN-), and, one of them is ALSO the Vcc to it? [Since, the circuit harvests power from solar cell, so, i only have output of Solar Cell as Vcc]
2... If not possible, then any other topology like summing amplifier / solution which can be used in my application.
Best Regards,
