A PV question. PV kitchen device supposedly manufactured in der FaderLand was acquired but does not work. What are the primary elements of a PV device? PV panel, some sort of storage (capacitor?), small motor, other... What can be repaired? ... new capacitor? new PV array? new motor? What plan of attack would you entertain? aside from toss in to the grand wasteland of humanity, DerDump. It is not worth $5... Anyone? What voltage do PV devices run? 1.5v? 9v? so the motor could be tested. What voltage do the PV array produce? so output can be tested. Can a small charge be dumped on to the capacitor? to see if that element is worthwhile. Details: Made in Germany by SOLARC, Solait milk froth device seemingly never used but old.
