Polycrystalline Solar Panel, 2.5V, 200 mAVoc (Voltage open circuit):Some reviews have claimed 2.75V.I measured it to be near 3.03-3.06V at its peak.Once temperature rises its near ~2.8VI will charge a 3V supercapacitor with this.I plan on soldering these in parallel to get more current out of them.If necessary, I'll try to partially shade the solar panel(s) along the edgesto keep the voltage near or slightly under 3V, without trying to sacrifice too much current loss.Charging the supercapacitor over its voltage rating will cause damage to the supercapacitor.Links to solar panel vendors:https://www.amazon.com/Deformation-Protable-Installation-Electrical-Appliances/dp/B0BCK5TVJ9https://www.amazon.com/XINI-INDUSTRIAL-58x70mm-Monocrystalline-Polysilicon/dp/B08QMK4BXQLink to 3V, 450F supercapacitor I will be using that will get solar charged:https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/tecate-group/TPLH-3R0-450SS35X71/9930287Caution serious injury or death may occur if you don't know how to use the supercapacitor!i.e. it short circuits.Use this ideal diode to prevent reverse current leakage from the supercapacitor to the solar panels when they get shaded or it gets dark:https://www.maximintegrated.com/en/products/analog/amplifiers/MAX40200.htmlUltra-Tiny Micropower, 1A Ideal Diode with Ultra-Low Voltage DropCurrent Switch/Ideal Diode Saves Space and Offers 10x Lower Voltage Drop Than SchottkysAlternative diode vendor:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079KCWPWQ
