Did you know you have a practically unlimited source of energy, half a day, fully available to power your project? This five pack of PowerFilm Solar Panels are large, paper thin, and flexible power solutions that can be easily integrated with your electronics to provide you with solar recharging or direct powering methods! Even while bending and manipulating these solar panels, you will still be able to pull your full allotment of power from them.
These specific panels are capable of 200mA at 15.4V which equates to about 3W of power. Two leads extend from each of the panel's two power rails that will allow you to easily solder cables, leads, or another connection medium without the need of any other tools to hook up.
These specific solar panels use a heavy-duty ETFE laminate that is UV protected with weather proofed edges, making them perfect outdoor use.
Note: Each of these values are for the individual panels in this pack.
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.

This is double the price I paid for 2 100-watt crystalline panels, mounting hardware and a 12-volt regulator. They work indoors and out.
What exactly am I getting for the extra $200?
These are paper-thin and very light, which may be useful in mobile applications. I'd personally like to put a bank of these on the wing of a model airplane to see if I can make it solar-electric.
