Hey guys I am testing a solar cell for the amount of amps and voltage it puts out. In order to run a 24v CPU fan I need of course 24v, 5.5w, and .23 amps.
The solar cells I have are from the little solar lights you see around walkways. I have been tearing them apart and savaging the solar panels ( I am fixing to post a new thread about these solar panels asking some questions )
I was testing it yesterday in the sun and it shown +/- 4.43mA it put out about 4volts.
Am I reading that correctly? Its the mA's that are getting me confused. When I place it on 2mA it shows 1 which of course tells me I have to go to the next over which is 200mA
If the sun isn't bright enough to turn the fan on will it burn up the motor on the fan?
