two more experiments, which I'm pretty sure I did before but wasn't sure what happened last time:
connecting the solar panel directly to a piece of 0000 steel wool makes it spark and smolder, but not flame up. I wonder if I could spot-weld with it though.
connecting it to a water heating coil in a cup of water only raises the water temp to lukewarm.
