Many people like solar energy because it is simple, clean, and renewable. Especially when you are building outdoor projects, solar energy is one of the best solutions for power supply. Depending on the project you are going to build, there are many different sizes of solar panels to choose from.
This solar panel is made of single-crystal material that performs high solar energy transformation efficiency at 17%. It has a fine resin surface and a sturdy back suitable for outdoor environments. A 2mm JST connecter is attached to the panel, which makes it perfect to team up with most of our can-use-solar-power-supply boards like:
- Seeeduino microcontroller series
- Lipo Rider charging boards series
- XBee carrier WSN products series
The typical open circuit voltage is around 5V, depending on light intensity. On those bright summer days with a clear sky and big sun, the peak OC voltage can rush up to 10V. To prevent any damage to boards that accept a narrow range of input voltage, like Lipo Rider, it’s recommended to check whether the OC voltage is safe before any connection.
