Each panel measures approximately 107 × 61mm, making it easy to install in compact projects while providing up to 1W of solar power under suitable sunlight conditions.
These mini solar panels are designed to convert sunlight into electrical energy for a variety of low-power applications. They are a great choice for experimenting with solar energy or building your own small solar-powered devices.
The panels can be used with suitable rechargeable batteries and charging circuits. For 3.7V lithium batteries, a proper solar charging controller is recommended rather than connecting the panel directly to the battery.
Perfect for makers, students, hobbyists and electronics enthusiasts. Use them to build and experiment with:
DIY solar-powered electronics
Arduino and ESP32 projects
Small LED lighting systems
Solar garden lights
Small solar fountains
Toy and model projects
Science and school projects
Battery maintenance/charging systems
Portable solar experiments
Small outdoor lighting projects
Low-power sensor projects
Solar-powered signs and displays
The panels feature a compact laminated construction designed for use in outdoor and DIY applications. Their small size and lightweight design make them easy to mount on models, enclosures, garden projects and experimental setups.

The 5V rating is the panel's nominal working voltage, and the actual voltage can vary depending on sunlight and load conditions. The panel may produce a higher voltage under no-load conditions.
For charging 3.7V lithium-ion/LiPo batteries, always use an appropriate solar-compatible battery charging/protection circuit. Do not connect a lithium battery directly to the solar panel.
Actual output depends on sunlight intensity, panel orientation, temperature, shading and other environmental conditions. The rated 1W output is achievable only under suitable test conditions.
