Solar Cell 4.8V 0.5Watt

The Solar Cell 4.8V 0.5Watt is a small solar panel rated at 4.8 V and 0.5 W that turns sunlight directly into DC electricity. It is a good size for science experiments, solar-powered toys and models, and for trickle-charging small batteries in low-power Arduino and sensor projects.

Solar Cell 4.8V 0.5Watt Specifications

• Rated voltage: 4.8 V
• Rated power: 0.5 W
• Current: about 100 mA at the rated voltage (0.5 W ÷ 4.8 V)
• Output: DC; voltage and current depend on sunlight and load
• Best use: outdoors in direct sunlight for full output

Solar Cell 4.8V 0.5Watt Applications

• School and university solar energy experiments
• Solar cars, fans and other small models
• Garden lights and small solar chargers
• Keeping small rechargeable batteries topped up in sensor nodes
• Learning to measure voltage and current with an Arduino

What's in the Box

• 1 × 4.8 V 0.5 W solar cell

Tip: Add a Schottky diode such as the 1N5819 in series when charging a battery, so the battery cannot discharge back through the cell in the dark. Output drops sharply in shade or behind glass, so test the cell in direct sun, and use a proper charge controller for lithium batteries.
