⚙ Under the hood

An interactive 2D Canvas simulation of a photovoltaic solar cell based on the Shockley single-diode equation. Adjust irradiance and temperature to reshape the I-V and P-V curves, then move the load-resistance slider to slide the operating point along the curve toward the maximum power point, with live voltage, current, power and efficiency readouts.
