I'd suggest that you try this again mid-summer. The solar radiation
angle is still fairly low at this time of year with much of the energy
being scattered by the atmosphere as well as being spread over a
larger surface area of the earth. I have observed a significant
difference in the charge time of my solar-powered car as the seasons
pass. The peak charge will come in mid-June. Let us know what the
output of the cell is when the radiation angle is at it's maximum (or
close to it - June 20)
