• Solar Panel Measurement
This screen shows how much power (in V and mA) a solar panel generates. Voltage is
measured using a load of 22 Ohm.
Caution:
The circuitry used for measuring solar power is not made to dissipate the power
generated by long term testing. Please use this mode only for an instantaneous test
of your solar panel! Leaving the solar panel test running continuously can build up
heat and could damage the A511.
