Abstract

A solar power radiacmeter (breadboard) design is described, based on a miniature (18 cc) ionization chamber and low power, solid-state (Field Effect Transistor, FET) electrometer. Power demand for this instrument, including DC converter, is approximately 5 mW. Preliminary experiments with a 20 sq cm silicon solar cell panel and pen light (AA size) rechargeable (NiCd) battery suggest feasibility of this approach. Solar power intake and dissipation is discussed for experiments conducted. (Author)
