FlexSolar 6W Mini USB Solar Panel
DESCRIPTION
The FlexSolar 6W Mini USB Solar Panel is a small yet effective solar charging solution. Featuring a USB port and a maximum power output of 4.5-5W, it’s perfect for powering small devices like fish pumps, fans, watches, smartphones, and bicycles. With its high conversion efficiency, achieved through PET material coating and a subtly concave-convex surface, it maximizes energy utilization by converting 20% of solar energy into usable power. Notably, it is both waterproof (IP67) and durable, thanks to PET laminations, ensuring resilience in various weather conditions. Weighing a mere 0.5 pounds (230 grams) and measuring 10.66 inches x 6.88 inches x 0.1 inch, this ultra- light and portable solar panel are easy to carry, taking up minimal space. It is versatile for different applications, holds relevant certifications (CE, FCC, Rosh, PEC), and can be mounted on a wall. It’s important to mention that it is specifically designed for use in the US, and if used internationally, an adapter or converter may be required.
