Solar Cell
Battery. Light incident
on the solar cell battery provides energy for
currents to flow. Place one or two solar batteries
in the simulation window. With the Select
tool, you can move and wire
them to other objects. You attach wires to the
solar battery's two
nodes,
which are indicated by the
yellow
rectangles in Figures
1 and 2.

By default,a lamp powers
the solar battery. The light of the lamp provides a
voltage of 3.3 volts (Fig. 3). You can
change the light source by clicking SUN
(Fig. 4). Sunlight provides a voltage of 4.0
volts.
You can also change light
sources in the solar battery's Properties
Box .

Note:
The solar battery provides maximum currents of
170 mA under a lamp and 345 mA
under the Sun. Circuit setups that attempt
to draw more current than these maxima will result
in reductions in the voltage put out by the solar
battery.
