A continuing program aimed at improving the determination of the charge of interplanetary as well as cosmic grains is presented. Recent data have been combined to generate two high-resolution solar spectra corresponding to the maximum & minimum of activity. The energy distribution of photoelectrons emitted by quartz grains under solar irradiation is calculated using the new laboratory measurements of Quemerais et al. (this volume). Finally, the method of Lafon, Millet and Lamy (Astron. Astrophys., 95,295, 1981) is used to find the electrostatic potential of these grains.
