FAQ

Planning your custom project.

How much power can a mini solar module produce?

Available power is governed mainly by active area, cell efficiency and real light conditions. The device energy budget and charging window should be reviewed before dimensions are fixed.

Can the module work under indoor light?

Selected photovoltaic technologies can be evaluated for indoor lighting, but the expected lux level, spectrum, duty cycle and storage requirement must be provided.

Can the shape be customized?

Rectangular modules are most efficient to manufacture, while selected curved-edge, round or irregular layouts may be feasible after a cell-layout review.

Can you add our connector?

Yes. Cable type, length, polarity, exit direction and connector can be matched to the device interface.

Is the rated output guaranteed outdoors?

Nameplate values are measured under stated test conditions. Real output changes with irradiance, angle, temperature, shading, surface condition and system losses.
