Alec Cameron said the following to MIKE ROSS on the subject of
solar power in apt? (21 Nov 97  10:16:32)
 MR> where E is the cell emf.
 MR>       Po is the rated cell output power
 MR>       Rs is the diode's apparent resistance at rated current (Vf/If)
 MR>       Rload is the optimal load for maximum power transfer
 MR>       +/- is real or imaginary roots
 AC> The formula doesn't help a great deal, except as a "term" in a larger
 AC> differential equation. Too many dynamics.......
I would use an integral to calculate the total power.
If your large differential equation includes everything, would you
perhaps know if the answer is 42? ;-)
