Abstract
Maximum power load for a solar cell has been found analytically for arbitrary light intensities. The maximum power theorem has been presented. Reversal of the task, i.e., finding a source obtaining maximum power for a given nonlinear resistive load, has been solved. This problem leads to a new definition for circuit equivalence. As an application, a circuit that measures modified thermal voltage of semiconductor diodes has been constructed.
