2.5W 5V Solar Panel with Alligator Clip Leads
Product Overview
This 2.5W 5V solar panel provides a small solar input for matched DIY lighting, toy and electronics circuits. A PET-laminated polycrystalline panel connects through red and black alligator clips on an approximately 50cm lead, making temporary project connections straightforward.
The panel operates at up to 500mA and measures 165 × 110 × 22mm. It weighs approximately 78g, allowing it to be positioned alongside a compact prototype without a heavy framed assembly.
Key Features
- Alligator clip leads provide removable connections during circuit setup and checking.
- An approximately 50cm cable allows some separation between the panel and test circuit.
- Polycrystalline cells supply a rated 2.5W solar input.
- PET lamination encloses the cell surface in a compact module.
- The 5V operating rating and 500mA current range help match a suitable low-power load.

Best For
Small lighting prototypes, solar education and low-power electronic experiments where temporary clip connections are useful. Match every connected load to the panel's available power.
Compatibility & Notes
For rechargeable battery projects, including 3.7V batteries, use a suitable charging circuit matched to the battery chemistry and voltage. The panel and clips alone are not a complete charge controller. Confirm polarity and prevent the clips from contacting each other.
Actual output changes with sunlight, angle, temperature and circuit conditions. Images showing front and rear views together illustrate one panel's construction; the sales unit is one panel.
