Frank Said:

is it possible that light is the input source in the chopper circuit?

We Answered:

huh?

what does "creating dc voltage source to an ac voltage output" possibly mean? You need to learn english sentence structure.

light is DC, output of a solar panel is DC.

You can interrupt the light mechanically and get a pulsed DC output. But easier to do that at the DC level.

Tim Said:

can solar powered calculators charge when off?

We Answered:

The ones I have seen don't have a battery, so there is nothing to charge.

Matthew Said:

Solar charger question?

We Answered:

Yes, you will be able too, although not as much as sunlight of course - how much you get depends on the rating of the bulb.

You will be able to use a solar charger on a semi cloudy or even cloudy day - of course, the amount of charge you get isn't as much as full sunlight but it will still work.
