Solar panels

Solar panels - Photovoltaic power supply

Solar panels, also known as photovoltaic cells or photocells, allow the light falling on them to be converted into electricity. This happens on the principle of the photovoltaic phenomenon, where under the influence of light inside the physical body, an electromotive force is created. This is one of the safest ways of obtaining electricity for the environment. Photovoltaics is definitely something worth trying.

Photovoltaic cell - What products are available in this category?

The section includes four subcategories: foldable and rollable panels, low-power panels and solar panel accessories. Solar cells are available with power from 0.4 W to 60 W and voltage from 5.5 V to 15.4 V. Depending on the model chosen, solar panels purchased on the Botland website can be used as a mobile power source (for example, to charge a phone or car battery), in electronic projects (such as solar-powered, remotely controlled robots or vehicles), or as part of a home automation system . We also offer a wide selection of accessories for solar cells - including cables, solar energy management modules and chargers that can be connected to the panels.

Selection of panels for various applications - Solar cells for various projects

The most important parameter when selecting photovoltaics, as in the case of matching other power sources, is the nominal power and voltage. They must be adapted to the device to be powered by solar energy (in the case of direct connection) or to the intermediary element between the photovoltaic cell and the equipment being powered (for example, an energy management module or charger). Appropriate pinout is also important - usually these are pads for soldering wires or a USB output. It is worth paying attention to the possibility of folding the product for transport: in the case of low-power panels, this does not play an important role, but more powerful cells have a large surface, so it is good to choose foldable or rolled models.
