SPV1040 produces little to no output

SWagn.1
Associate II

Same issue as @PK.3 (but I would like the response to be shared with the community :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes: ) : using a 4 volt OC 425 mA SC series photovoltaic, and SPV1040 with circuit matching STEVAL-ISV006V2 except Rs = 0 ohms and no VR4 (https://www.st.com/content/ccc/resource/technical/document/application_note/34/f8/03/2c/c0/39/4b/93/CD00292052.pdf/files/CD00292052.pdf/jcr:content/translations/en.CD00292052.pdf).

Note that this schematic is mostly influenced by the design guidance at https://eds.st.com/photovoltaic/

In full daylight, with no load, output will measure about 4.5 volts. With 100 ohm load, output voltage is about 350 mV.

Schematic is attached.

Thank you for any advice or assistance!
