## Description

Many people like solar energy because it is simple, clean, and renewable. Especially when you are building outdoor projects, solar energy is one of the best solutions for power supply. Depending on the project you are going to build, there are many different sizes of solar panels to choose from, If you are looking for a portable solar panel, why not look at this small solar panel that we are going to introduce today-----0.5W Solar Panel 55x77.

0.5W Solar Panel 55x77 is a monocrystalline silicon solar panel, which is the main trend in the future. Compared to polycrystalline silicon solar panels and thin-film solar panels, monocrystalline silicon solar panel performs at a higher conversion rate of up to 17%. The surface is covered by fine resin which makes it waterproof, together with a very sturdy back, it is really suitable for an outdoor environment.

Depending on the light intensity, the typical open circuit voltage is 5V. If you take it to a summer day with bright sunshine and no cloud in the sky, the peak OC voltage can be up to 10V. Because the voltage range is relatively wide, if you are going to use boards that require a narrow range of input voltage, such as Lipo Rider, to prevent any damage, please check whether the OC voltage is acceptable for the board before any connection.

To begin with, we recommend you choose some of the solar panel compatible boards produced by Seeed such as [Seeeduino microcontroller series](https://core-electronics.com.au/seeeduino-xiao-pre-soldered.html), [Lipo Rider charging board series ](https://core-electronics.com.au/catalog/product/view/sku/SS106990290)and [Xbee Carrier WSN](https://www.seeedstudio.com/s/Xbee%20Carrier%20WSN.html) products series. Since A 2mm JST connector is attached to the panel, it is perfect to team up with the boards recommended above.
Despite all the good features, it is really a very cheap solar panel among solar panel kits. Again, if you are looking for portable solar panels for sale, 0.5W Solar Panel 55x77 is the best choice!

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=SS313070004:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/SS313070004:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; `search.md?q=` also works)
