A compact 5 V, 0.6 W solar panel from Voltaic Systems, built with ETFE (Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene) construction for superior durability over standard PET or laminate panels. Featuring 10 high-efficiency monocrystalline SunPower cells with 22%+ efficiency, this panel is waterproof, scratch-resistant, and UV-resistant — built for reliable outdoor use.

Key Features

  • ETFE Construction – Waterproof, scratch-resistant, and UV-resistant; far more durable than PET panels
  • 22%+ Efficiency – Monocrystalline SunPower cells for maximum energy harvest
  • 5 V Nominal Output – 10 cells at 0.5 V each, 6.1 V at max power point
  • Portable Size – 145 × 71 mm; easy to carry on the go
  • Solder Pad Connection – Two pads on the back for easy wiring

Specifications

  • Output Voltage – 5 V nominal (6.1 V at max power point)
  • Peak Current – 120 mA
  • Power – 0.6 W
  • Cell Type – Monocrystalline SunPower (22%+ efficiency)
  • Construction – ETFE
  • Dimensions – 145 × 71 mm (5.7" × 2.8")
  • Connection – Solder pads (no connector included)

Ideal For

  • Portable solar-powered projects and gadgets
  • Charging small LiPo batteries
  • Remote IoT sensor stations
  • Camping and outdoor electronics

Package Contents

  • 1× 5 V 0.6 W ETFE Solar Panel
Tip: No connector is included — solder wires to the pads on the back and attach a terminal block or barrel jack. Need less or more power? See the 0.3 W and 1.2 W versions.

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

IoT
Short for Internet of Things, meaning physical devices that connect to networks or the internet to send data or be controlled remotely. It matters if you want projects such as connected sensors, remote controls or classroom data-logging activities.
LiPo
A LiPo (lithium polymer) battery is a rechargeable lithium battery widely used in portable projects because it is light and compact. LiPo cells need correct charging circuitry and careful handling to stay safe, so equipment that supports LiPo generally includes charging or protection hardware suited to that battery type.
Terminal block
A terminal block is a connector that joins wires together in a neat, removable, or serviceable way, usually clamping each wire under a screw or spring instead of soldering. It makes it easier to connect, change, or service wiring without permanent joints.
