1W Flexible Solar Strip, 6V ETFE Amorphous, 500 × 40mm

Product Overview

This flexible solar strip places a 1W amorphous silicon module in a long, narrow 500 × 40mm format. ETFE thin-film encapsulation and an approximate 22g weight make it a lightweight component for custom low-power layouts.

The strip operates at 6V and has rear connection contacts for wiring into an appropriate circuit. It can follow a supported curve without the rigid frame used on conventional panels. One strip is supplied; multiple samples in the photographs are demonstrations of its form.

Key Features

• A 500mm length and 40mm width suit narrow collecting areas.
• Flexible thin-film construction accommodates a supported curved layout.
• ETFE encapsulation covers the amorphous cell assembly.
• Approximately 22g module weight reduces added mass in a compact project.

Compatibility & Notes

Design the load for the working output and allow for the 8V open-circuit voltage. Verify polarity before connecting the rear contacts. A rechargeable battery requires suitable charge management; a battery and controller are not included.

Avoid sharp folds, creases and strain on the contacts. Support the strip and protect its electrical connections from moisture. Output varies with illumination, angle, temperature and load. The module thickness and minimum bend radius are not specified, so do not force it into a tight fold.
