The request

“Draw a dual-input power selector for an off-grid security camera with an 18 V solar panel, LiFePO4 battery, fuses, capacitors, two blocking diodes and a 10 A camera load.”

Then tryChange the camera load to 5 A.Add a low-battery indicator.
What is in this drawing

Read the decisions behind it.

01

Use Schottky diodes for low forward drop and automatic highest-voltage selection

02

Add fuses and input capacitors for protection and filtering

03

Include bulk output capacitor to handle load transients

Reuse for any 12V battery/solar dual-supply system up to 10A where simple automatic switchover without external control is acceptable.
