You understand that you can put more or less load on a generator or solar panel. Here is how: [The IN voltage is raised by lowering the OUT volts like a solar panel volts raise when you disconnect it from the load. The IN current is raised by raising the OUT volts like a solar panel sends more current when you connect the load. &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;OUT volts&amp;quot; &lt;/del&gt;to the battery is like gradually disconnecting or connecting a solar &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;panel's &lt;/del&gt;load. The C9 &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;integration&amp;quot; &lt;/del&gt;capacitor starts at zero amplification and goes to infinite amplification causing an LTC3703 output change which eventually counters the input change that caused it thus arriving at a new output voltage. The OP AMP feeds an influence on FB which is confusing until you grasp these points. The FB pin only needs +-50mV to move the output radically.] The input current and input volts you notice go in opposite directions. So you can move them around until they are equal, thus doubling current and doubling voltage is four times the power; 2 squared=4x power, 3 squared = 9x power, 4 squared = 16x power. If I and V are not made equal then power is indeterminate, unknown, not a squared relation, and the resistance V/I is changing and not maintaining impedance matching to the source of power.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class='diff-marker'&gt;+&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;color: #222; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;div&gt;Here is a statement on the circuit diagram that explains the concept that the I and V input values are doing something to the output voltage to accomplish the above described load relationship.

That Boost Controller was designed to take FB feedback only from the output to make a voltage flat.

The second innovation is to determine what should that output voltage be, to load the solar panel or wind generator at its best point, which could be tiny current or high current depending on sun/wind conditions, and so that charging output voltage must be varied slightly and quickly (0.2s), even if the battery charge capacity is only changing slowly over time; 48v at discharged, 54v at full charge, for example, for lead-acid.)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class='diff-marker'&gt;+&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;color: #222; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;div&gt;(Edit: Apr 2016: I have not looked at this for three years, and I am impressed with the elegance of my idea.

Conversely, a constant, other polarity voltage at the input results in a linear, rising (positive) voltage at the output. Also, the output voltage rate-of-change will be proportional to the value of the inputs difference.&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

(Assume the voltage rails of GND and VCC are not the stopping points). The FB pin change in voltage raises or lowers the output voltage of the LTC3703 which causes the measured INPUTS on the OP amp to change because the solar panel values change to accommodate the LTC3703 current drain change. Those inputs are soon equal and that causes the stop. I explained this above, twice, but now you see why C9/continuous is the key idea. OP amps usually do not use capacitors for feedback&lt;/ins&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

So you can move them around until they are equal, thus doubling current and doubling voltage is four times the power; 2 squared=4x power, 3 squared = 9x power, 4 squared = 16x power. If I and V are not made equal then power is indeterminate, unknown, not a squared relation, and the resistance V/I is changing and not maintaining impedance matching to the source of power.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class='diff-marker'&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #222; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;div&gt;Here is a statement on the circuit diagram that explains the concept that the I and V input values are doing something to the output voltage to accomplish the above described load relationship.

That Boost Controller was designed to take FB feedback only from the output to make a voltage flat. My innovation is to interfere with the FB level by that OpAmp so a battery, which is floating up in voltage as it charges, is fed with a boost controller output that is not putting out its typical fixed voltage, per its purpose in a normal power supply, but instead a variable target voltage. The second innovation is to determine what should that output voltage be, to load the solar panel or wind generator at its best point, which could be tiny current or high current depending on sun/wind conditions, and so that charging output voltage must be varied slightly and quickly (0.2s), even if the battery charge capacity is only changing slowly over time; 48v at discharged, 54v at full charge, for example, for lead-acid&lt;/ins&gt;.)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

We do not know what the OpAmp out voltage should be! If we have no capacitor then we get a fixed OpAmp out voltage, which is INCORRECT. We must keep FB moving like a cumulative signal, like calculus integration of a positive slope keeps increasing the total. Only when the slope input difference is zero, we stop moving FB. We affect our changes at a 0.2 Hz rate, well out of range of the 100Khz rate of the Boost Controller and 3 COMP circuit's 20Mhz ringing problem which I had, for example, inducing more instability on that FB pin if we do too much FB fiddling, too fast. The circuit does not work without capacitor C9. The maximum influence on FB is the two-resistors tap times Vcc (maybe &amp;lt;160mV max range) and notice that Vcc is very small compared to the 60v feedback's influence on FB using the same tap ratio; 800mV.&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
