This panel is manufactured by Voltaic Systems, a reputable brand known for producing top-quality solar-powered bags and packs. It boasts features such as waterproof, scratch-resistant, and UV-resistant materials, and utilizes four high-efficiency monocrystalline SunPower cells with a remarkable 22 % efficiency. With 4 cells and a nominal voltage of 0.5V each, this panel is classified as a "2V" panel.
This 2V 0.3W Mini Solar Panel is capable of providing a nominal output of 2 volts and a peak current of 150 mA through its two solder-able back pads. Designed with ETFE (Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene), this panel boasts exceptional durability and resistance to environmental factors, making it a superior option to traditional PET or laminate solar panels. It is built to withstand everyday outdoor use, including accidental drops and pressure.
Unlike the larger panels, these don't come with a connector. Instead, there are two pads on the back. To connect, . (Or you can cut off the alligator clips from a )
Note that these will not work with our (they expect 5.5 or 6V panels) but there may be projects that can either benefit from a smaller voltage panel, such as power harvesting circuits. Or, you could connect 3 of these in series to get nominal 6V output.
