Well, it finally got sunny here. In direct sunlight, the solar cell seems to put out about 4V, 135mA (24 years ago, 23-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.dacta)  
 
  Preliminary Solar Cell Output Measurements
 
These results are preliminary, but they'll give you some idea of the solar cell's capabilities. Outdoors - Full Overcast Voltage: 3.5V Amperage: 30mA Incandescent Lightbulb - 100W@1" Voltage: 4.1V Amperage: 150mA Indandescent Lightbulb - 100W@6" (...)
