Am going to design MOSFET based solar charger , So which type driver is more suitable , means high side [+Ve switching ] or Low side [-Ve Switching ] .
 

Depending on what configuration you will use. Please be more specific. Yosmany325
 

Hi
Low side switching will be more economical as high VDS Mosfet with greater currents are available with low RDSon in cheaper prices as compared to High side switching mosfets, I am posting here a scheme but don,t know that will it be possible to measure Battery voltage. I am also in search for the answer to go ahead after the confirmation of the measurement, hopefully someone here will through light on this problem here.

One thing I forgot to mention is the ease of driving such configuration as the gate is referenced to the ground (0V).
