Solar panel powers portable electronics
A lightweight, 5W, mobile photovoltaic panel, featuring an integrated sun-angle adjuster for maximum solar exposure, has been introduced by IXYS. Offering an efficiency of up to 22%, the SLPN005H10L is suitable for powering portable electrical equipment, PCs, tablets, smart phones and charging batteries via an integrated USB port.
Constructed with monocrystalline cells that have a wide spectral sensitivity from 300 to 1100nm, the solar panel can be used either indoors or outdoors. Weighing only 60g and measuring 223x143x2mm in height, it is also highly portable. The SLPN005H10L can be assembled in series and/or parallel to achieve a desired output power.
Rated at 5.39W, the solar panel is suitable for charging mobile consumer electronic devices as well as industrial ones; the voltage and current at the maximum power output are 5.5V and 0.98A, respectively. Typical applications include battery chargers for smart phones, tablets and notebooks, backup power for UPS and wireless sensors, street/park lighting, emergency backup power, and independent green power stations.
