The Solar Panel Module 6V 1W (commonly referred to as MOD35) is a compact and efficient solar panel often used for DIY projects, small electronics charging, and educational purposes. Here's a detailed overview:

Specifications

• Voltage Output: 6V (nominal)


• Power Output: 1W


• Current: Up to ~166 mA (under optimal sunlight conditions)


• Dimensions: Compact size, typically around 110mm x 60mm (may vary slightly based on manufacturer).


• Material: Made of polycrystalline or monocrystalline silicon for efficient energy conversion.


• Weight: Lightweight, ideal for portable projects.


• Build: Encased in a durable and weather-resistant epoxy resin.

Features

1. High Efficiency: Converts sunlight to electricity effectively for small-scale needs.


2. Durable Design: Built to withstand light environmental stress such as dust and occasional water splashes.


3. Compact and Lightweight: Easy to integrate into portable projects or limited spaces.


4. Pre-Soldered Wires: Often comes with attached wires for straightforward connectivity.

Applications

• DIY Projects: Ideal for small-scale solar-powered projects.


• Battery Charging: Used to charge low-power batteries (e.g., AA, AAA, Li-ion).


• Microcontrollers: Powers small devices like Arduino or ESP modules with proper regulation.


• Portable Electronics: Can run or charge portable lights, fans, or radios.


• Educational Kits: Popular in teaching the fundamentals of solar energy.

Usage Tips

• Voltage Regulation: Use a voltage regulator (e.g., a buck converter or LDO) if connecting to sensitive electronics requiring lower voltage.


• Battery Storage: Pair with a rechargeable battery and charge controller for continuous power supply during low sunlight.


• Optimal Placement: Position under direct sunlight for maximum efficiency; avoid shadows or obstructions.


• Series/Parallel Configuration: Combine multiple panels for higher voltage (series) or higher current (parallel) requirements.
