Solar Panel 12V 1.5W (115X90)mm

The 12V 1.5W Mini Solar Panel is a high-quality, compact photovoltaic module designed to harness sunlight and convert it into clean, renewable electrical energy. Despite its small size of just 115 × 90 mm, this panel delivers reliable power output suitable for a wide variety of small-scale electronics, battery-charging applications, and DIY solar projects.

The panel is built using polycrystalline silicon solar cells, which are known for their excellent balance of efficiency, durability, and affordability. The cells are protected by a layer of high-transmittance tempered glass that maximizes sunlight absorption while shielding the cells from physical damage, UV radiation, and weather conditions. The durable outer polymer frame provides structural rigidity and weather protection, ensuring the panel performs reliably in outdoor environments including rain, wind, and snow.

With a maximum working voltage of 6V and a maximum current of 240–280mA, the panel produces approximately 1.3–1.6W of power under ideal sunlight conditions. This output is well-suited for charging small batteries (NiMH, Li-ion, LiFePO4), powering microcontroller-based projects (Arduino, ESP32, ESP8266), driving low-power LEDs and sensors, and running compact IoT devices in remote locations.

A standout feature of this panel is its excellent low-light performance, allowing it to continue generating useful power even in cloudy weather, dawn, dusk, or partial shade — making it a more reliable choice for all-day energy harvesting compared to lower-quality alternatives. The unique encapsulation technology prevents water ingress and freezing-induced deformation, ensuring long-term durability in harsh outdoor conditions.

The panel is RoHS-approved, meaning it complies with European environmental safety standards and contains no hazardous substances such as lead, mercury, or cadmium. Its lightweight construction (a few hundred grams) makes it easy to install on rooftops, garden structures, RVs, boats, sheds, and project enclosures using standard mounting hardware or adhesive backing.

Whether you're building a solar-powered weather station, charging a small battery for camping, prototyping an off-grid IoT sensor, or teaching renewable energy concepts in the classroom, this 12V 1.5W mini solar panel provides a practical, reliable, and affordable entry into the world of solar power.
