A 5 V, 1.2 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 to handle everyday outdoor conditions including drops and impacts.
This panel outputs a nominal 5 V at 200 mA peak via a 3.5 mm × 1.1 mm DC jack connector, making it easy to connect to charger boards and battery management systems.

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 lithium polymer rechargeable battery commonly used in portable electronics projects. It matters because LiPo batteries need correct charging circuitry and care, and this board includes hardware intended for that battery type.
