Voltaic industrial-grade small solar panels use the highest quality materials to provide long-term, reliable performance in the field.
How much power will a small solar panel produce per day?
It varies based on the size of the panel, location, panel angle, panel azimuth, time of year, and weather conditions. We use the JRC Photovoltaic Geographic Information System to estimate how much power a panel will produce, on average, by month. You can use this tool to estimate the average power produced per day by your panel by month.
As an example, here is how much power a 1 Watt panel would generate during the longest and shortest days of the year.
1 Watt Panel Angled at 45 Degress
Location Power Per Day June (Watt hours) Power Per Day December (Watt hours) New York, NY 3.6 2.1 Seattle, WA 3.5 1.1 Stockhold, Sweden 3.8 0.8 Nairobi, Kenya 2.6 4.2These numbers are often less than people expect, especially in the winter. We recommend estimating the power consumption of your system prior to buying panels. Find out how to measure your systems power consumption or you can also schedule a solar for IoT power consultation.

What voltage solar panel should I use?
Choose a panel voltage based on your battery and charge circuit or charge controller. Voltaic standard solar panels are described as either 2V, 6V, or 18V panels. To make these panels, we take a whole solar cell, cut it into smaller pieces and string those together. Each cell piece is roughly 0.5 Volts.
For most situations, the voltage of the solar panel should be higher than the charge voltage of your battery or battery pack (the 2V panel is often paired with energy harvesting circuits to charge 3.7V batteries). When attached to a battery, the voltage of the solar panel will drop to a value specified by the batterys charge circuit.
As an example, our P106 6 Watt, 6 Volt solar panel is used to charge 3.7 Volt Lithium Ion cells inside of our V25 USB battery pack. The panel has a Vpeak of 6.2 volts. When connected to the battery, it drops to 5.1 volts and the circuit then bucks that down to the cell voltage. Lead acid charge controllers will typically drop an 18 Volt panel down to 12 to 14 Volts.
^back to topWhat is the difference between your urethane, ETFE and glass laminated panels?
Both types of panels are durable and designed for round outdoor applications. The difference is how the solar cells are protected or encapsulated.
Urethane - These are our most durable and long lasting standard panels. To make them, the solar cells are placed on an aluminum plastic substrate (APC) and then liquid urethane is poured over the cells. The panels are placed in an oven where the urethane cures (hardens) around the cells.
ETFE Laminate - The solar cells are placed on a piece of PCB or FR4, covered by a sheet of EVA (a glue like material) and then EVA. That stack of materials is then laminated under pressure and heat, bonding the materials together. We use a laser cutter or punch to cut out the completed panel.
Glass - Voltaic makes custom glass panels. Beneath the glass, there are the cells sandwiched between two layers of EVA and then a backsheet. A frame around the panel provides additional strength, protection and mounting options.

The urethane and larger ETFE panels can be mounted to our panel brackets.
The ETFE panels can be attached to flat surfaces with our VHB gaskets. Properly installed, the gaskets will provide a secure and waterproof connection between the panel and an enclosure.

In the realm of renewable energy, mini solar panels are a fascinating innovation, offering a glimpse into the future of portable power. These compact energy sources are not just small in size; they pack a punch in terms of functionality. Lets delve into the capabilities of mini solar panels and how they can revolutionize power generation in remote areas.
A. Understanding the Basics of Mini Solar Panels
潞安 are exported all over the world and different industries with quality first. Our belief is to provide our customers with more and better high value-added products. Let's create a better future together.
Mini solar panels, often referred to as small solar panels, are a subset of photovoltaic technology designed for specific, less power-intensive applications. Unlike their larger counterparts, mini solar panels are typically framed and rigid, providing a sturdy and durable solution for outdoor use. They operate on the principle of converting sunlight into electricity through the photovoltaic effect, using semiconductor materials to generate a voltage when exposed to light.
B. Power Output Expectations for Mini Solar Panels
The power output of a mini solar panel is influenced by several factors, including the size of the panel, the efficiency of the solar cells, and the intensity of the sunlight. On average, a small solar panel can generate anywhere from 5 to 100 watts of power. While this may seem modest compared to larger systems, it is more than sufficient for low-power devices and applications in remote settings.
C. Applications of Mini Solar Panels in Remote Areas
Mini solar panels are particularly well-suited for remote areas where traditional power sources are unavailable or impractical. They serve as a reliable and sustainable energy solution for a variety of needs, from basic lighting to water pumping systems.
A. Powering Street Lights and Water Pumps
In rural and remote areas, mini solar panels are invaluable for illuminating streets and powering water pumps. A small solar panel can be mounted on a pole to charge a battery during the day, which then powers the street light at night. Similarly, water pumps can be operated off-grid, ensuring a consistent water supply without the need for fossil fuels.
B. RVs, Camping, and Cruise Ships
For those who enjoy the outdoors or travel frequently, mini solar panels are a game-changer. They can be mounted on RVs and campers to provide off-grid power for lighting, refrigeration, and other essential appliances. Cruise ships and other small watercraft can also benefit from these panels, using them to supplement their power needs while at sea.
C. Energy Needs in Rural, Pastoral, and Fishery Areas
In regions where the power grid is unreliable or non-existent, mini solar panels can be the difference between darkness and light, between scarcity and abundance. They can power small-scale agricultural equipment, refrigeration for preserving produce, and even communication systems.
