Have a project that needs some good power? Do you like free power provided by our friend, Mr. Sun? Check out this high quality, high output, fully enclosed solar panel with a nice solid aluminum/plastic frame. The panel is capable of 3.5 watts in the open sun with a peak power output around 6V at 615mA.
The termination is equipped with a 3.5mm x 1.1mm barrel plug and 5.5mm x 2.1mm adapter on a 22cm (8in) cable making the panel able to mate directly with many of our development boards. Each panel also features monocrystalline high efficiency cells at 19% with a waterproof urethane coating with hard-board backing. With robust sealing for out door applications this solar panel is incredibly durable and reliable!

Tested output on this panel on Jan 14th around noon. (Winter sunshine) Summer time numbers will be better
A V Load
0.600 - 0.68 - 1 ohm load
0.610 - 1.31 - 2 ohm load
0.620 - 2.54 - 4 ohm load
0.600 - 4.90 - 8 ohm load
0.430 - 6.71 - 16 ohm load
Expect 500mA maximum from this panel.
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: Noob - You don't need to reference a datasheet, but you will need to know basic power requirements.
