discharge of 1.5F supercapacitor back through protection Schottky diode into solar panel
at 5pm the cell had 3.52 volts. Left connected to charging 5V solar panel though Schottky protection diode, but it seems alter at 11:40pm the super capacitor had discharged down to only 2.99 volts though that diode. So maybe ideal diode is needed instead.

22 minutes later at 11:02am left connected to panel (indoor light) and now has 2.86V. So about 100 mV charged over 22 minutes.

at 3:09pm 6/22/2024, a unconnected 1.5F supercap is at 2.89V. Will leave disconnected (just connected to 10 Mohm probes) and see later value.

at 11:18pm, that 1.5F supercap dropped from 2.89 V to 2.76 V (it was still connected to 10 Mohm oscilloscope probe).
