What the Tamiya 76009 Solar Panel Offers

The Tamiya 76009 Solar Panel is designed to give makers and students a straightforward way to explore solar energy. Its balance of output and durability makes it useful for testing small motors and simple renewable energy demonstrations.

Materials and durability

The panel is built around a polycrystalline silicon cell protected by an epoxy resin layer. The rigid plastic frame helps resist knocks and repeated handling in project environments. Rated to produce up to 0.5V and 1500mA, it is compatible with a range of Tamiya motors and compact gear units.

Suitable projects and testing

Perfect for labs and weekend builds, the Tamiya 76009 Solar Panel can power Tamiya Solar Motors and the Low-Current Motor Gearbox (3-Speed) for demonstrating torque, speed, and power under varying light conditions.

Specifications

  • Case Dimensions: 135x62x9.5mm
  • Weight: 37g
  • Max Output: 0.5V/1500mA (at 80,000lux)

Can I use this panel indoors for demos?

You can use it indoors under strong lamps, but peak output requires bright light. For consistent results, use the same lamp position and intensity for each trial.

Is the panel fragile?

The epoxy coating and plastic frame offer decent protection, but avoid dropping heavy objects on the surface to prevent cell damage.

What measurement tools are recommended?

A basic multimeter for volts and milliamps is ideal. For classroom logging, use a data logger or repeated manual readings to compare light levels and output.

Can it be paired with batteries?

Yes, with appropriate diodes and circuitry you can use the panel to charge small battery packs, but verify voltage and current limits before connecting.
