- Monocrystalline cells with ETFE lamination – light, UV-stable and permanently weatherproof for off-grid outdoor use
- 7.3 V open-circuit voltage, 160 mA short-circuit current – realistic peak output approx. 0.85 Wp
- Compact 110 × 80 mm, solder pads centred on the back
- Optionally supplied with a correctly polarised, tested connecting cable – plugs straight into the MR2
- Up to three panels can be paralleled using the solar connector board
Description
6V/1W ETFE solar panel, monocrystalline – a compact solar panel for off-grid LoRa mesh nodes. Ideal alongside the Inhero MR2 solar mesh repeater with its MPPT charge input, and for any other solar-powered node or repeater with a 3.6–24 V charge input.
Versions
- without cable: bare panel with solder pads on the back – for your own wiring
- with cable fitted: solar connecting cable (JST-PH 2.0, 2-pin, 20 cm) already soldered with correct polarity and tested – plugs straight into the MR2
Technical specifications
- Open-circuit voltage (Voc): 7.3 V
- Short-circuit current (Isc): 160 mA
- Rated output: 1 W (peak) – realistic peak output approx. 0.85 Wp at a typical fill factor
- Cell type: monocrystalline, ETFE-laminated (light, UV- and weather-resistant)
- Dimensions: 110 × 80 mm
- Connection: solder pads centred on the back
The ETFE lamination makes the panel robust and UV-stable over the long term – suitable for permanent off-grid outdoor use.
What's in the box
- 1× solar panel 6V / 1W in the selected version
⚠ Important note
The MR2 has no hardware reverse-polarity protection on the solar input. Check the polarity before connecting for the first time – especially if you solder the cable yourself.
Running several panels in parallel
The solar connector board lets you parallel up to three identical panels. The currents add up while the voltage stays the same – useful at sites with little light or short windows of sun. For year-round operation in Central Europe, around 2 Wp is typical at unshaded south-facing sites, and 3–5 Wp at built-up or partly shaded locations.
