Overview
Mini Solar Panel 5 V 75 mA 80 x 45 mm Epoxy Photovoltaic Cell with Soldering Points for DIY Projects Models and Small Batteries

The mini solar panel measuring 80 x 45 mm is a practical power source for small electronic projects that run on sunlight. Under full illumination, it delivers a voltage of 5 V and a current of 75 mA, which is sufficient for small circuits, indicator lights, motors from model kits, or charging small batteries. The cell is encapsulated in transparent epoxy resin, which protects the delicate silicon strips from scratches and moisture. On the back, there is a printed circuit board with clearly marked contacts, making it easy for beginners to connect. The panel is suitable for DIY enthusiasts, modellers, physics teachers, and parents building their first solar toys with their children.

The compact format fits into a garden light housing, the lid of a plastic box, on the roof of a model house, or the side of a backpack. The flat shape with a sturdy back plate made of printed circuit board allows the panel to be easily attached with double-sided tape or hot glue. The positive and negative contacts are brought out to soldering pads near the centre of the board, so the wires lead directly back and are not visible from the front. The finished product thus appears neat, and no cables obscure the cell. The panel operates without a battery or additional electronics, so once a small solar motor is connected, the rotor spins as soon as light hits the cell. This immediate effect is great for first experiments with children and for explaining how solar energy is generated. More experienced DIYers can use the panel as a power source for sensors, small measuring circuits, or charging button and AA batteries in garden devices.

  • Type – mini solar panel with cell encapsulated in epoxy
  • Rated Voltage – 5 V
  • Current – 75 mA
  • Dimensions – 80 x 45 mm
  • Surface – transparent epoxy encapsulation resistant to moisture and corrosion
  • Back Side – green printed circuit board with + and − contacts and soldering points
  • Usage – DIY electronics, solar lamps, models, school experiments, and charging small batteries
  • Package Contents – 1 solar panel 5 V 75 mA measuring 80 x 45 mm

For optimal performance, orient the panel directly towards the sun and keep its surface clean. Dust and fingerprints can be wiped off with a soft damp cloth without abrasives. When soldering, work quickly and with a moderate tip temperature to avoid overheating the contacts unnecessarily. If the panel is charging a battery, add a diode to the circuit to prevent back discharge through the cell in the dark.

The small solar panel 5 V is a simple way to harness solar energy for your own products. The size of 80 x 45 mm and protective epoxy encapsulation make it a versatile component for both workshops and classrooms. It is easy to connect, takes up little space, and the results are visible immediately upon exposure to light. It will be appreciated by anyone who enjoys experimenting with renewable energy sources and building simple electronic devices.
