This solar panel is brought to you by Voltaic Systems, a reputable brand known for its high-quality solar-powered bags and packs. It boasts a durable construction with waterproof, scratch-resistant, and UV-resistant properties. Utilizing 10 high-efficiency monocrystalline SunPower cells with over 22% efficiency, this panel has a nominal voltage of 0.5V, earning it the name "5V" panel. However, the datasheet refers to it as a 6V panel due to its maximum power point of 5.9V.
Constructed with ETFE (Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene), this panel outputs around 6V with a peak of 50 mA through two solder-able pads on the back. Its durability and resistance to environmental elements make it a superior upgrade over PET or laminate solar panels. It is capable of withstanding typical outdoor use, including drops and pressure.
Unlike the larger panels, these don't come with a connector. Instead, there are two pads on the back. We recommend soldering two wires and attaching a 2.1mm terminal block to connect. (Or you can cut off the alligator clips from a 2.1mm-to-clip adapter)
