Junior Solar Sprint Solar Electric Panel Only.
Panel Specifications:
- Electrical: 3 Volts, 1+ Amp = 3+ Watts
- Dimensions: 4.5" x 13"
- 4" Flat Wire Leads
**Already Included in the Junior Solar Sprint Kits**
Solar Made JSS panels are constructed from high quality monocrystalline silicon solar cells and operate at 3 Volts, 1+ Amp to produce slightly greater than 3 Watts. This 3 Volts powers our official JSS 260 Motor at ~5470 RPM and the JSS 280 Motor at ~7770 RPM.
Each individual solar cell on the panel measures 52x100mm. The six cells per panel are arranged in a series circuit to increase the ~0.5V of each cell to the 3V necessary to meet the JSS Competition Specifications. Average efficiency of these cells is appx. 16-19%
