These 6 Volt, 9 Wattpanels come to us from Voltaic Systems, makers of fine solar-powered bags and packs. Theyare waterproof, scratch resistant, and UV resistant.
Usinga high efficiency monocrystalline cell and outputting6V at ~1.5A via 3.5mm x 1.1mm DC jack connector, they area nice upgrade to the 2W or 3W panels we have been carrying. The substrate is an aluminum / plastic composite, specifically designed to be strong and lightweight. These panelscan easily stand up to typical outdoor use including being dropped and leaned on. They#39;re very high quality and suggested for projects that will be exposed to the outdoors. These come with 4 plastic mounting screws which makes it easy to attach the panel, even to fabric!
We have a range of solar panels to choose from: Medium 6V 2W, Large 6V 3.4W, Huge 6V 5.6W, and this one we#39;re calling Colossal 6V 9W! To connect, we suggest a 3.5mm OD/1.1mm ID DC jack or you can use this handy adapter cable which will turn it into a standard 5.5mm/2.1mm DC plug.
Please note - these panels may have dents or light scratches in the epoxy from shipping/storage, it does not affect the functionality of the panel. We cannot guarantee they will be perfectly smooth.
