solar panel output
Is there a way to measure thou output of a solar panel? like with a voltmeter or something?
for science fair im doing a project on determining weather or not the color of light affects the output of solar panels.
You would measure the solar panel in terms of the open circuit voltage and short circuit current.
Open circuit voltage – use a voltmeter to measure the voltage between positive and negative terminal of the solar panel
Short Circuit current – measure the current by inserting the ammeter between the positive and terminals of the solar panel.
FYI solar panels are modeled as a constant current source up so just make sure your ammeter will be good for the current going through it.
