In this Best of Breed, we’ll start by looking at a few simple solar components for those of you starting from scratch. Then we’ll take a look at a few bits that feature solar power in lieu of disposable batteries or power cords. Something for everyone!
And you’ll notice I didn’t cover any generic solar cells. Why? Honestly, there isn’t much to say about a 3 V solar cell, and they can be found on almost any DIY supplier’s site. I’ll be looking at a few of my favourite solar components, unusual solar cells, and kits.
The Adafruit Colossal 6V 9W Solar Panel received a 10/10! They state: “When you need power, this is it!”
