PV Gap

Sonia Said:

Does the amperage output of a solar cell change depending on how much light there is?

We Answered:

Put the amp meter in a parallel circuit and make sure the setting is correct.
As the brightness increases the amperage out put should increase,once there is adequate light to turn on the cell the voltage should remain constant.

Ramona Said:

I'm making a solar LED light, can you tell me if this will work?

We Answered:

No, such a system cannot store enough power to light 10 LEDs for any length of time. The solar accent lights sold for dotting the garden do not collect enough charge even in the tropics in direct sunlight to keep the single LED burning for more than four to five hours.
