Solar Panel Datalogger Kit for Arduino

$30.00
sold out

This kit is geared toward engineers and makers interested in learning about solar energy and how to characterize solar cells, understand nominal values in solar technology, and how to collect meaningful data. The kit comes with a solar panel, SD card and module for datalogging, a potentiometer, and LiPo battery for portability. The user just needs to add an Arduino board and breadboard and they can start logging solar data and make calculations in their local environment.

Included in the Solar Panel Datalogger Kit:

  • 1x 2V, 120mA Solar Panel (54mm x 54mm) [Wire Colors May Vary]

  • 1x INA226 Voltage/Current Measurement Module

  • 1x 1kΩ Potentiometer (Rheostat in Experiments)

  • 1x 3.7V, 600mAh LiPo Battery + USB Charger

  • 1x SD Datalogger Module

  • 1x 16GB SD Card

  • 10pcs Female-to-Male + 10pcs Male-to-Male Jumper Wires

Features of the Solar Panel Datalogger Kit:

  • Characterize Solar Panel by Varying 1kΩ Potentiometer

  • 600mAh Battery Allows for Roughly 1 Day+ of Datalogging (Depending on the Arduino Board and Sleep Routines)

  • 16GB SD Card + Module Allow for Long-Term Datalogging

  • INA226 Reads 16-bit Voltage and Current

  • 54mm x 54mm Solar Panel has 4 cells each 10mm x 38mm, for an Active Area of 15.2 cm-sq

  • See our tutorial on using the kit: Solar Panel Characterization and Experiments with Arduino
