This is the official solar panel of the Junior Solar Sprint competition. It measures 10.5" L x 5.0" W x 0.08" thick. It is built of lightweight, yet superstrong, high-impact fiberglass laminate and is weather resistant. The output is 2.6 to 2.8 volts, 1,100 mA. Includes 7" color-coded lead wires.

FEATURES:

  • Smaller profile! 5" W x 10-1/2" L compared to 4-1/2" W x 13" L.
  • Durable leads! The eight-inch leads on the panel are soldered and epoxied. It takes a tremendous amount of abuse to remove or break these leads!
  • Thin, only 2 mm (0.08") thick, but durable! The photovoltaic material is sandwiched between an extra-strong fiberglass backing and a transparent laminate covering.
  • Reusable! Due to the extra-strong construction techniques, these panels can be used over and over each year.
  • Smart internal wiring! The cells within the panel are wired in parallel – so if the panel should be cracked for any reason, only a percentage of the panel will not work.
  • Easy mounting! Each panel has two holes for easy connection of the Ray Catcher to the car.
  • Color-coded leads! The leads are color coded to aid in wiring the motor correctly.
  • Tinned leads! The leads are tinned to ensure easy soldering when attaching to the motor.
  • Polycrystalline cells! Manufacturing these cells requires 20% less energy than manufacturing standard solar cells.
