SolarBit Description
SolarBITs are monocrystalline, high-efficiency solar cells in a surface mount package. They’re
robust and can be used in harsh environments. SolarBITs have a very high (22%) power
conversion efficiency, which means that 22% of the light energy is converted into electrical
energy. They’re extremely useful in applications requiring solar power generation in a limited
space.
Monocrystalline cells can be used in indoor and outdoor applications because they have a wide
spectral sensitivity, 300 to 1100 nm. However, the output power of a solar cell is proportional
(over a wide range) to the incoming light energy, and irradiance is generally much higher
outdoors. The values in the data sheet are measured at “standard condition” of 1 sun, which is
equal to 1000W per square meter sunlight irradiance at a defined light spectrum (air mass of 1.5)
and 25°C cell temperature.
