A solar cell does not store electricity. It charges a battery that stores electricity. The voltage of a battery can be found by connecting a voltmeter to the battery terminals.

Why is it possible to measure an electric potential across the terminals of a dry cell?
Batteries are a voltage storage device that hold a voltage potential until used. By using a volt meter you can find the stored voltage by placing the leads of the meter across the battery's positive and negative terminals.
How do you use amp volt meter on solar panels?
The meter is used the same as how the voltage is checked on any equipment. Select the correct voltage range (AC or DC) DC for solar collector and connect the leads to the output. The voltage that you read will be the output of the cell at that particular time.
What is Organic Solar Cell?
It is a cell that coverts solar energy into electrical energy
Energy for a cell is stored in?
The mitochondrion of the cell.
What kind of cell has non spontaneous voltage?
Electrolytic cell
How is solar energy stored for later?
Solar Energy Is Stored For Later In A Photovoltaic Cell
What is the definition of solar cells?
A solar cell, as we normally think of them, converts light (electromagnetic energy or radiation) into a voltage through the phenomenon of photoelectric effect. This voltage is used to drive electrical devices or is stored, usually in a battery bank.
A source of DC voltage that converts light to voltage is a?
that is called solar cell which converts light(photons) to D.C voltage .the amplitude of voltage depend on how many solar cell are you joined in seies a solar cell normally produce 0.6-0.7 V D.C
Does the area of a solar cell effect the voltage output?
It does :)
How can you improve the voltage of a sollar cell?
Wiring two solar cells in series produces an output voltage that is the sum of their individual voltages. For a single cell, your options for maximizing its output voltage are: -- Keep all dust and other stuff off of the glass. -- Orient the cell so that the sun hits it perpendicularly. -- Use the cell where there are no clouds. -- Use the cell where there is no particulate 'pollution' in the air. -- Use the cell as close to solar Noon as possible. -- In the US, use the cell as close to June 21 as possible. -- Take the cell to the top of a hill or mountain, the higher the better. -- Take the cell to space, outside the atmosphere. -- If you're operating the cell with artificial light, simply make the light as bright as possible, and position the cell as close to it as possible. (Note: This works, but you'll always spend more for the electricity to operate the artificial light than what you'll get back for free from the solar cell.) -- Load the cell lightly. As you take more current from it, its voltage decreases.
What is the Maximum output of solar cell in voltage?
i beleve it is 12 volts
What is open post voltage?
The open post voltage in electronics is the maximum voltage available from a solar cell. This will occur at zero current.
A photovoltaic cell or solar cell is used to convert solar energy to?
electricity CURRENT FLOW INTO A LOAD. Without a load that is just voltage sitting there.
Why is it possible to measure an electric potential across the terminals of a dry cell?
Batteries are a voltage storage device that hold a voltage potential until used. By using a volt meter you can find the stored voltage by placing the leads of the meter across the battery's positive and negative terminals.
What is solar collector that is capable of producing voltage when exposed to radiant energy(sunlight)?
A solar, or PV, or photovoltaic cell. Many PV cells are put together forming a solar panel.
How do you use amp volt meter on solar panels?
The meter is used the same as how the voltage is checked on any equipment. Select the correct voltage range (AC or DC) DC for solar collector and connect the leads to the output. The voltage that you read will be the output of the cell at that particular time.
Is the open circuit voltage of a solar cell measured under non-illuminating condition?
Well, you should really measure the open-circuit voltage and the short circuit current both under dark and light conditions and then compare them to fully characterize a solar cell. Measuring the open-circuit voltage means measuring the voltage across the cell when no current is flowing (i.e., with a LARGE resistance as a load on the cell). Measuring the short-circuit current means measuring the current when the voltage across the circuit is essentially zero (i.e., with a VERY SMALL resistance as a load on the cell--thus, "short-circuit" current).
