Small photovoltaic panel specifications

How big are small Solar panels?

These are often around 65 x 39 inches in size. Small solar panels are generally 100 watts and below. They are physically smaller than traditional solar panels. Most 100W solar panels tend to have dimensions of about 2 feet by 4 feet. Some small solar panel kits are portable and thus, can be taken with you when you’re going off the grid.

Why should you choose voltaic industrial-grade small Solar panels?

Voltaic's industrial-grade small solar panels are chosen for their long-term, reliable performance in the field. Our selection is easy to integrate into applications. For high volume applications, Voltaic can design custom solar panels to your specifications.

What are small Solar panels?

They can also be called mini solar panels. Finally, in contrast to standard panels, which can be made with a diverse range of materials and assembly techniques, small panels generally employ crystalline and CIGS materials. Small or mini solar panels are portable, flexible and able to generate clean power in various settings.

What is the voltage of a solar panel?

Given the lack of large-scale standardized applications for small panels, the voltages and amperages can also vary. In general, the Voc of these panels ranges from 18V to 24V, while the Vmp falls between 15V and 20V. However, some specialized products may have voltages as low as a few volts.

How should I choose a solar panel voltage?

To choose a solar panel voltage, base your decision on your battery and charge circuit or charge controller. Voltaic standard solar panels come in 2V, 6V, or 18V options. We create these panels by taking a whole solar cell, cutting it into smaller pieces, and stringing those together. Each cell piece is approximately 0.5 Volts.

How do I estimate the power produced by a photovoltaic panel?

To estimate the power produced by a photovoltaic panel, we use the JRC Photovoltaic Geographic Information System. This tool allows you to estimate the average power produced per day by your panel by month. For example, here is how much power a 1 Watt panel would generate during the longest and shortest days of the year.
