Review on ๐Ÿ”† Sunnytech 1pc 3.5W 6V 583mA Mini Solar Panel Module: Solar System Charger for DIY Projects (Model B033) by Chase Hosea

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works but needs help after a year of operation

Works, foil needs to be removed. Then solder some wires to the pads on the back. A good trick I've used is to coat the solder and surrounding contact area with epoxy or ShoeGoo to keep the wires secure. The performance was excellent for about a year, then the surface of the panel became dull and it stopped working. Most likely from the sun and the weather. I used the Scotchbright side of the sponge to clean the matte finish and then applied some car wax. Started working again.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
