Hey all, I've been toying around with the idea of making an AA charger out of some solar panels I have. The panels can generate either 800mA @ 4.25V (850mA Isc and 5V Voc) or 1600mA @ 2.13V (1900mA Isc and 2.5V Voc) depending on how I wire them up.
They actually work, in clear and unobstructed...
I got some LEDs in and have been testing them and this is what I've gotten.
The ø data is output and is measured in an uncalibrated integrating sphere, so the units don't mean anything outside of relative comparison among the samples I've measured.
I'm using a current controlled source, and...
