I just got landed with a pile of old solar lamps from a garage sale and after taking one apart and testing it i found the solar cell to produce between 0.3 and 0.9v depending on the clouds.
I was just curious but could I use one of these solar cells to charge up say a pack of 3 AA batteries at 5v-ish using a boost converter or something similar? the lamp contained 2 AA batteries totalling about 3v so I'm assuming it must be possible but I was wondering if anyone could explain to me how easy it would be to do?
Many thanks in advance
