Photos of Solar Array Demonstration
Here are some photos of the demonstration in action.
Here
is a photo of the complete demonstration apparatus.
Here
is a photo of the solar panel demonstration apparatus. It includes the
Variac, the lightbulb and base, the solar panel, the capacitor and leads,
and the model houses with LEDs.
Here,
the capacitor is being charged with the energy being generated by the solar
panel from the incident light.
Here
the photo shows the green LEDs glowing as the stored energy is discharged
from the capacitor.
