Encapsulated High Output Solar Cells

These high output encapsulated mini-panels utilize solar cells similar to those that power satellites in space. Safe and simple to use, the mini-panels are ready to use out of the box and do not require soldering. The mini-panels are sturdy and allow for handling without the normal breakage and cell damage associated with handling most normal panels. A unique lens pattern allows these panels to collect light from all angles and each comes with 6” red and black lead wires already attached.

All mini-panels are tested VOC (voltage open circuit) and ISC (current short circuit) using one full sun condition.

Please note: Most applications require charging batteries (the solar operating voltage must be higher than the battery voltage). Direct powering of devices requires knowing the voltage and current of your device:

Light bulbs: Use light emitting diodes (LED) which require 3 volts, plus 50mA per LED.

Motors: We recommend motors that run 0.50v (1/2) to 7.2 volts, and require at most 100mA to start-up, then run at 20mA. The most important consideration for choosing a miniature motor is the "current"; many motors will require at least 200mA to 500mA of current to start-up.

Bad Product
Reviewed By: Dipesh Rana (Hasbrouck Heights, NJ)
This is one of the worst solar cells that I have worked with. It says that it gives out a 3 volt output, but in reality it is only good enough to power a LED. I needed a solar cell to power a small motor, but instead I got something that was only able to power a LED. Furthermore, this power to the LED is not even bright. The light is barely visible. I would discourage anyone in buying this product, unless you want to spend $10+ in just powering a simple LED. I would rate this item a zero, if I had to.

Know what amount of power draw you need!
Reviewed By: Tom (clearwater, florida)
The first thing someone needs to know befor choosing a power source is the amount of power it takes to power what ever it is you want to run,then select the power giver(i.e.soler panel).This unit that was chosen did its job.You just made a few errors,next time ask for help.You got what you payed for.
