Did you know you have a practically unlimited source of energy, half a day, fully available to power your project? This PowerFilm Solar Panel is a large, paper thin, and flexible power solution that can be easily integrated with your electronics to provide you with solar recharging or direct powering methods! Even while bending and manipulating this solar panel, you will still be able to pull your full allotment of power from it.
This specific panel is capable of 200mA at 15.4V which equates to about 3W of power. Two leads extend from the two power rails on opposite sides of the array that will allow you to easily solder cables, leads, or another connection medium without the need of any other tools to hook up.
This specific solar panel uses a heavy-duty ETFE laminate that is UV protected with weather proofed edges, making it perfect outdoor use.
This skill defines how difficult the soldering is on a particular product. It might be a couple simple solder joints, or require special reflow tools.
Skill Level: Rookie - The number of pins increases, and you will have to determine polarity of components and some of the components might be a bit trickier or close together. You might need solder wick or flux.

If it requires power, you need to know how much, what all the pins do, and how to hook it up. You may need to reference datasheets, schematics, and know the ins and outs of electronics.
Skill Level: Rookie - You may be required to know a bit more about the component, such as orientation, or how to hook it up, in addition to power requirements. You will need to understand polarized components.

What are the dimensions of the panel?
The dimensions are listed under the Features tab are "12.5in x 11in (317.5mm x 279.4mm)". Unfortunately, we are currently experiencing issues with our servers so I can't verify that with the datasheet linked under the Documents tab.
You say this doesn't have the UV stabilized coating, but the photo and the specs appear to be that of the WeatherPro Series PT15-300 which DOES have a UV stabilized coating. Can you confirm the manufacturer's model number on both this and the 5-pack version of this?
Sorry about that! These solar panels do, in fact, possess an ETFE laminate that is UV protected.
We are also still waiting on datasheets from our supplier to get all the rest of the information to anyone interested.
