This 1.2 Watt 6 Volt small solar panel is a lightweight, waterproof, solar panel produced by Voltaic Systems that has been designed for five to seven year outdoor applications. This panel will charge 1S LiIon or LiPO4 cell. The panel features high-efficiency SunPower solar cells mounted to a PCB using an SMT Process, UV- and scratch-resistant ETFE coating with UV-resistant EVA, and two solder pads.
It should go without saying but, for maximum power output, orient the panel towards the sun.
