4.5V 100mA Solar Panel - Solar Panel 40x80mm

A solar panel that can provide voltage output even under artificial light, which you can use in your projects. It operates at maximum performance under sunlight. It gives low current under artificial lights. For example, it can light a 5mm LED with a phone flash.

Solar Cell
A solar cell is an electronic device that captures sunlight and converts it directly into electricity. Just like the cells in a battery, the cells in a solar panel are designed to produce electricity; however, while the cells in a battery produce electricity from chemicals, the cells in a solar panel generate power by capturing sunlight.

A solar cell is a sandwich of n-type silicon (blue) and p-type silicon (red). It generates electricity by using sunlight to allow electrons to jump between different silicons.
