SUPER CELLS & SPECIAL PHOTOVOLTAICS

                            SUPER CELLS 

For the Discriminating Designer. Now for the first time, you can purchase single crystal, silicon super cells, designed and utilized by the space industry. If reliability, power, output, and size are prime considerations for your solar projects, use these super cells.

(soldering required)

• Highest power available for their size, rectangular shape for high density.
• Thin, approximately 14 thousandths of 1" thick.
• All cells are tested VOC (voltage open circuit), ISC (current short circuit), using one full sun condition.
• 8 standard sizes (dimensions may vary +/- 2mm)
• Solder P & N contacts with 60/40 rosin core solder and liquid flux on cell.
• Packaged in plastic case. Bulk orders available.

SPECIAL PHOTOVOLTAIC'S

** NEW **Copper Indium di-Selenide  
(CIS) "THIN FILM" SOLAR MODULE

 60mm x 60mm glass, 4.5 volt, 80+ma full sun, flat tab lead wires.  Designed to re-charge 2 NiCad's in high quality solar "Walk Lights".

CIS  $4.95

Glass Covered Satellite Cell

Extremely high power! The cover glass bonded to the cell face makes these space cells easy to handle. These satellite cells can be wired and used just as they are for your next inside or outside project.  0.5volt / 450ma nominal in full sun. (Nominal 2.2 x 6 cm)

SG-2x6 $12.95

Quantity

Calibrated Cell

Perfect for PV system installers, test instruments or the classroom. The factory has tested this 0.5volt, 2 x 4 cm cell in 1 sun conditions and written the output on the rear of the #2 size plastic case (2 1/4" x 1 3/8" for reference).  Since a silicon cell is used, the current output is almost linear to the amount of light. Example: 1 sun = 250ma / 50% sun = 125ma.

CC-2x4 $12.50

Quantity

Flexible Solar Module

This plastic substrate based thin-film solar module is lightweight, flexible, and non-fragile. Designed for either outdoor or indoor use.

Solder dots +/- added for easy connection.  Retail packaged with instruction card.     3volt / 50 ma in full sun. 4 1/2" x 1 1/2" 

FLEX CELL $7.99
