## Description

The perfect solar panel for lower power projects.

Since the open circuit voltage is less than 5.5V you can power a Pico directly via the Vsys pin (if the panel is partially covered a brownout will occur). For extra safety add a Zener diode to prevent over voltage.

Note: The panel does not include wires, you will have to solder to the pads on the back, we recommend adding some hot glue or epoxy for support.

### Specifications

- Open Circuit Voltage: 3.6V
- Short Circuit Current: 200mA
