Adafruit Small 6V 1W Solar Panel

These solar panels from Voltaic Systems offer exceptional features for outdoor projects. Waterproof, scratch-resistant, and UV-resistant, they are built with a high-efficiency monocrystalline cell delivering 6V at 180 mA via a 3.5mm x 1.1mm DC jack connector.

Designed with an aluminum/plastic composite, the panels are lightweight yet remarkably durable to withstand typical outdoor wear, such as being dropped or leaned on. These high-quality panels come with four plastic mounting screws, allowing easy attachment to various surfaces, even fabric.

For secure connections, a 3.5mm OD/1.1mm ID DC jack is recommended, and an optional 2.1mm adapter cable is available to convert to a standard 5.5mm/2.1mm DC plug. Note that some extra force may be required when connecting to the adapter.

The product line includes multiple options, such as Medium 6V 2W, Large 6V 3.4W, Huge 6V 5.6W, and Colossal 6V 9W panels, suitable for charging batteries or powering projects with a Solar Lithium Ion/Polymer charger.

Technical drawings are accessible on the GitHub page, and for project ideas, Voltaic Systems' DIY blog page offers inspiration. Please be aware that visual appearances of the panels may vary.
