How It Is Used
Tilting the panel or changing the light falling on it alters the fan speed, and a multimeter on the test points shows the matching change in the cell's output. The model traces the path from sunlight to electrical energy to the mechanical work of the fan.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can readings be taken from the Solar Fan Model?
Yes. Test points on the base accept an external multimeter, so the cell's output can be measured while the fan runs.
