First, the values. I've added a 47ohm resister in series with a red LED as the load. So now, it looks almost identical to the schematic above. My voltages are now, E/Gnd=2.64 B/Gnd=1.93 C/Gnd=2.27
Alec, what you are suggesting is intriguing if for no other reason as it isn't something I would have had a clue about and what happening has me clueless. Is there a way to test this? Is there a way to solve this or is it just potentially a fact that I have to live with? If you are suggesting is that this may be a result of the nature of the panels I'm using there may not be a reasonable solution at these power levels.
