Compact Solar Power for Makers and Schools

The Tamiya 76010 Solar Panel is a compact energy source tailored for tinkerers and educators working on solar experiments. It offers reliable power for model builds while demonstrating basic renewable energy principles.

Sturdy Construction and Consistent Output

Built with a polycrystalline silicon cell sealed in epoxy, the Tamiya 76010 Solar Panel resists everyday wear in a workshop or classroom. Its design supports both indoor demos and brief outdoor sessions, producing up to 1.5V/500mA at 80,000 lux to run suitable motors and gearboxes.

Practical Use and Setup

The panel is compatible with Tamiya Solar Motors (76004 and 76005) and the Low-Current Motor Gearbox 70203. The adjustable stand included lets you fine tune the tilt toward the light source, making it easier to teach how angle affects solar output.

Specifications

  • Case Dimensions: 135x62x9.5mm
  • Weight: 37g
  • Max Output: 1.5V/500mA (at 80,000lux)
Output drops in low light, so current and voltage will be lower on overcast days. The 1.5V/500mA rating applies under very bright conditions around 80,000 lux.
Use the supplied stand to position the panel at an angle to the light and secure it on a flat surface. For repeatable classroom tests, mark a preferred tilt and keep lighting consistent.
Keep the cell free from dust and fingerprints, avoid harsh solvents, and store the unit dry when not in use to prolong life and performance.
