Solar Project Page 1

This is the Power measured when I focus the sun on the die with a magnifying glass .. In this case I got 28.1 mA, but I got a maximum of 100 mA at one time ..

This is a 2N3055 Transistor without it's TOP cover ..

The sillicon die in the middle is about 4 mm squared ..

This is supposed to produce 0.5 Volts at 5 Amps, but as you will see, I only got about 100 mA from one of these .. Which is good, but not as good as what I've read on the Net ..

Another transistor of the same kind from the same company, why the Die is Sooooo small !??!?

In the sun without a Magnifying Glass I got 0.45 MilliAmp which isn't really powerful ..

0.46 Volts in the sun without a Lense, this doesn't vary very much, you get between 0.4 and 0.6 volts with this transistor.
