The wiki ckt has a current-limiting resistor in series with the voltage

It *is* in the posted circuit.
Sort of.

As James mentions, the internal resistance of the PV
cell is the current-limiting resistor.


I meant the capacitor voltage source. Is its internal resistance a
sufficient current limiter? I'm not familiar with super caps, but the
common ones that I am familiar with will supply huge currents, momentarily.
