2.5V, 1.2 A Solar Panel Soldering Fixture and CaseThis particular model has:6x 2.5V, 200mA solar panels in parallel with a Voc (Voltage open circuit) range of 2.7-3.01 Volts so it doesn't destroy a 3V supercapacitor that I will charge with this.If necessary I'll extend the wiring to the load to keep the voltage near 3 volts or slightly under.I used the case as a fixture to help solder the panels together. M3 screws are fastened into brass M3 inserts to enclose the solar panels in a case.url......Link to 2.5V, 200 mA and solar panels and suppliers:Polycrystalline Solar Panel, 2.5V, 200 mALink to 3V, 450F supercapacitor I will be using that will get solar charged:https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/tecate-group/TPLH-3R0-450SS35X71/9930287Caution serious injury or death may occur if you don't know how to use the supercapacitor!i.e. it short circuits.Use this ideal diode to prevent reverse current leakage from the supercapacitor to the solar panels when they get shaded or it gets dark:https://www.maximintegrated.com/en/products/analog/amplifiers/MAX40200.htmlUltra-Tiny Micropower, 1A Ideal Diode with Ultra-Low Voltage DropCurrent Switch/Ideal Diode Saves Space and Offers 10x Lower Voltage Drop Than Schottkys
