Custom Mini Solar Panel — Capability Datasheet
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Size range | from 35 × 22 mm; fully custom outline to fit your enclosure |
| Voltage range (Vmp) | Custom, quoted on your drawing; 5 V / 6 V most common for IoT direct-drive |
| Wattage range | 0.11 W – 25 W (MPPT) in stock; larger custom on request |
| Cell type | Mono or back-contact (IBC); SunPower-class IBC option |
| Encapsulation | ETFE / PET / Glass |
| Connector / output options | USB-A, USB-C, JST, solder pads, custom |
| Certifications | Tell us what your market requires; we confirm what is available before quoting |
Stock mini panels are listed further down this page. For anything else, these are the parameter ranges our partner production lines build within. Every spec above is a customizable range; final parameters are confirmed in writing before any production run starts. A common choice point is encapsulation: ETFE costs more but resists UV and holds output over multi-year outdoor deployments, while PET is lower cost but tends to yellow after roughly 2–3 years outdoors, and glass is the most durable option where added weight is acceptable.
Also available: a 4 W or 8 W switchable panel (5 V / 6 V / 9 V / 12 V) that covers most trail and security camera models from a single part number. Cell technology follows the same custom-first logic — standard mono cells cover most budgets, while the back-contact (IBC) option is reserved for projects where footprint or output density is the limiting factor. If your parameter falls outside any range shown here, send the target spec and we'll confirm feasibility before quoting.
Building a small solar panel into your electronic product
LinkSolar is a China-based B2B supplier of custom & OEM solar panels, solar cells and mounting hardware. Panels are manufactured to your drawing by partner production lines; we handle specification, samples, pre-shipment checks and export.
Who can supply an OEM small solar panel to build into an electronic product?
For a panel that sits inside your enclosure, send the outline, the rail or charger input it has to feed (3.3 V, 5 V or a charger IC input), how it connects (solder pads, JST or Molex leads, a pre-crimped harness) and how it mounts (adhesive back, standoffs, screw holes). You get back a written specification with cell layout, target Vmp and Imp, lamination and connector, then a sample to test in the product. A common route is to prove the power budget first with a stock part from mini solar panels, then move to a custom outline once it works.
Can you make a tiny panel, around 20 × 10 mm, for a watch or wearable?
The smallest panel in our range is the 0.11 W, 5 V ETFE panel at 35 × 22 mm. Anything smaller is outside the listed range, so send the target outline and power and we confirm whether it can be built before quoting. Two things to know first: at that size the output is fractions of a watt even in full sun, so size it against the device's daily energy budget, not its peak draw; and for your own laminate or a prototype, laser-cut cells are an option, see small solar cells.
The full parameter table is in the custom mini solar panel capability datasheet.
How a custom order works
- Share the requirement. A drawing, an outline dimension, a target voltage, or just the device you need to power, plus the quantity you have in mind.
- Review the options. You get back a written specification (dimensions, Vmp, Imp, lamination, connector, tolerances) and a quotation at your quantity. Minimum order, sample and production timing are stated in that quotation for your design.
- Test a sample. Check fit and output in your own product before anything goes into production.
- Confirm, then checked before shipment. Every order is checked against the confirmed specification before it ships.
- Export. Goods ship from China with one proforma invoice and one shipment. Email is the fastest way to reach us: [email protected].
