Title: What kind of solar cells/panel is this?
Post by: timb on January 01, 2015, 09:53:35 am
Last year, a guy on another forum sent me a few solar panels to experiment with for a project I was working on at the time. He claimed they were good panels with high efficiency, blah blah blah, long story short, that project didn't end up going anywhere, but I've got some ideas kicking around that would use PV.

I have no idea how good these panels are, but they almost look like they're made out of FR4 (which is what he claimed, I.e. they were PCB material and the manufacturer could produce a full board layout on the bottom with the cells on the top).

I can't get in touch with the guy anymore, so I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what type of panel this is. Thanks!
