0.18W 6V Mini Solar Panel - ETFE, 45x45mm

0.18 Watt 6 Volt mini solar panel SMT designed for long‑term outdoor use. Compatible with common energy‑harvesting charge circuits. Features:
• High‑efficiency genuine SunPower Maxeon IBC back‑contact cells, SMT‑mounted to PCB
• Waterproof, UV‑ and scratch‑resistant ETFE coating
• 2 × solder pads for easy wiring
• Panel size: 45 × 45 mm
Caution: Not recommended for high‑vibration environments or situations with potential impacts.

As a board-level component, this panel suits designs where a small 6V source tops up a storage element through a common energy-harvesting charge circuit — the typical pattern for IoT nodes, remote sensors and other low-power outdoor electronics that must run unattended for long periods. Because the SunPower Maxeon IBC back-contact cells are SMT-mounted to the panel's PCB, the panel integrates during board assembly like any other surface-mount part, rather than as a separate boxed module with a cable.

Choosing it comes down to three checks. First, the 0.18W 6V output matches what your harvesting circuit expects — it is a maintenance-charge source, not main power. Second, the 45 × 45 mm outline fits the board or enclosure you are building. Third, the environment: the ETFE coating gives a waterproof, UV- and scratch-resistant surface for long-term outdoor use, but the caution against high-vibration or impact-prone installations stands.

For production devices, the format can be rebuilt to your drawing — different dimensions, voltages or terminations. MOQ depends on the product — ask us for the MOQ on your item.

Buyer questions

What can 0.18W at 6V actually run?

It is a maintenance-charge source, not main power. The panel is compatible with common energy-harvesting charge circuits, which is the intended use: topping up a small storage element so a low-power board can sleep through dark periods. If your device needs more than a trickle, plan a larger panel.

How do I connect it?

The panel carries two solder pads for easy wiring, and the SMT format is designed to be assembled onto a PCB as a board-level component rather than a boxed module with a cable.

Can I use it on a vehicle or anything that vibrates?

No — the page's own caution applies: it is not recommended for high-vibration environments or situations with potential impacts. Aim it at stationary outdoor electronics instead.

Can I get a different size, voltage or termination?

Custom dimensions, outlines, voltages and terminations are built to your drawing; stock formats ship from inventory. MOQ depends on the product — ask us for the MOQ on your item.
