📦 Applications:
✔️ Charging 3.7V Li-ion / Li-Po batteries (with charge controller)
✔️ Charging 6V lead-acid / sealed lead-acid batteries
✔️ Powering Arduino and microcontroller projects
✔️ Solar-powered LED lighting (garden lights, pathway lights)
✔️ Educational science experiments
✔️ Small water pumps and fans
✔️ Solar battery maintainers
✔️ DIY solar chargers for phones (with regulator)
✔️ Remote sensor power supply

🔧 Typical Charging Setup:

• For 3.7V Li-ion: Use a TP4056 charge module with protection

• For 6V Lead-Acid: Use a 6V solar charge controller

• For 5V USB devices: Use a 5V regulator (e.g., LM2596, MT3608, or 5V buck converter)

⚠️ Important Notes:

• Voltage output varies. Solar panel output voltage and current depend on sunlight intensity. In full sun, Voc may exceed 8V.

• Charge controller recommended. For battery charging, always use an appropriate charge controller to prevent overcharging.

• Diodes. A blocking diode (e.g., 1N5819 Schottky) is recommended to prevent reverse current at night.

• Weather resistance. Epoxy encapsulation provides splash resistance but the panel is not fully waterproof. Avoid prolonged submersion.

• Orientation. For maximum output, angle the panel toward the sun (typically south in the northern hemisphere).
