1W Solar Panel 80X100

This remarkable solar panel is crafted from single-crystal material, boasting an impressive 17% solar energy transformation efficiency. It features a smooth resin surface and a robust back, making it ideal for outdoor settings. A 2mm JST connector is attached, allowing it to pair perfectly with many of our solar-powered boards, such as the Seeeduino microcontroller series, Lipo Rider charging boards series, and XBee carrier WSN products series. The typical open circuit voltage hovers around 5V, varying with light intensity. On bright summer days, the peak OC voltage can reach up to 10V. To safeguard boards with a narrow input voltage range, like the Lipo Rider, it's advisable to check the OC voltage before connection. The panel has dimensions of 100x80x2.5(±0.2) mm, a typical voltage of 5.5V, a typical current of 170mA, an open-circuit voltage of 8.2 V, and a maximum load voltage of 6.4V.

Using this solar panel is easy. First, make sure the panel is placed in an area with good sunlight exposure. Connect it to your compatible device using the 2mm JST connector. Before connecting to devices like the Lipo Rider, check the open circuit voltage to ensure it's within a safe range. When the panel is not in use, store it in a dry place to prevent damage. Keep the resin surface clean by gently wiping it with a soft cloth. If you have any questions, refer to our wiki page or post them on our forum.
