About Solar Panels

Solar panels are photovoltaic power sources capable of recharging batteries. The minimum battery size and solar panel output required depends on the average current drain of the system, the maximum time the battery must supply power to the system without being charged, and the location of the site. Our staff of Application Engineers can help you select the best solar panel based on your measurement needs.

Solar panel characteristics assume 1 kW/m² illumination and 25°C solar panel temperature. Performance of individual panels may vary by up to 10%. The output panel voltage increases as the panel temperature decreases.
