Comparison of the outputs of one solar panel to another: notice how the voltage output is the about the same for each panel, but the mA output varies significantly. |

![]() Reading the mA for the Solar CD under a bright halogen desk lamp (Note: the mA would be much higher out in the sun) |
![]() Reading the mA for the flasher solar panel under the same desk lamp |
![]() Reading the voltage of the Solar CD under the desk lamp |
![]() Reading the voltage of the flasher solar panel under the same desk lamp |
| Note: these readings were done "no load"...meaning that the multimeter was hooked directly to the solar panels. For a load reading, you would want to place the meter in the circuit. |
