SmartCap solar engine - Bob Shannon originally designed the
SmartCap solar engine for a specific purpose -to provide a "burst" of energy
to a 'bot right after its source of light goes away. The idea was to
introduce a specific behavior -when things got dark for the 'bot, it would
have the energy to notice and scurry toward the next spot of bright light.

Solar Cell Converter offers Positive Start up - 08/15/96 EDN-Design
Ideas....Applications deriving power from solar cells often require a 5V power supply.
However, the cells typically provide a terminal voltage of only 0.8 to 1.4V with
current capacity of 3 to 4A. Most dc/dc converters can neither start with such low
voltages, nor can they start under full-load conditions. The two-IC approach....

Solar Cell Phone Charger - This little gadget uses a small 3 volt solar cell
to charge a 6 volt NiCad battery pack which, in turn, may be used to charge many
models of cell phones and other portable devices. The circuit "scavenges" energy from
the solar cell by keeping it loaded near 1.5 volts (maximum energy transfer value) and
trickle charges the internal battery pack with current pulses.... [from Charles

Solar Cell Test Fixture - If you are considering building your own solar
panel, you might try building the solar cell tester shown below. When constructing a
solar panel it is important to make sure that all the solar cells used in the panel be
closely matched for their short circuit current. One weak cell will lower the
efficiency of the whole panel. The system shown allows individual solar cells to be
tested for their short circuit current under a constant light intensity condition....
