Solar Panels from Iowa Thin Film

Light weight, flexible solar panels are available with or without self adhesive backing. The strips are terminated at each end with copper strips for you to solder on leads. These panels can be incorporated into your projects to provide power or charge batteries. Extend soaring times by charging your sailplane's battery in-flight!

These panels provide 7.2v 100ma under load, enough to charge a 6 cell NiMh or NiCd flight pack. Place additional panels in series and parallel for greater voltage and/or current output.

For example: 4 panels (2 in series with 2 in parallel)  will provide 14.4v at 200 ma to charge a 12v Sealed Lead Acid battery.
