Information on Thin Film Glass Solar Cells
When a solar cell is rated for current output
in "uA" (microamps). The "uA"
rating is usually given for solar cells that are
used "inside", typically under florescent, very
low light conditions, therefore the small ("uA")
current output. These solar cells can be
used on "outdoor" products also exposed to a full-spectrum,
high intensity light source (the Sun), the current
will be much higher and in the milliamp
(mA) range.
The SC-01 glass thin-film solar cell is of the
same type that are used on solar powered calculators.
They provide good charging or direct power under
low light and indoor lighting conditions.
The SC-02 solar cell, that is made for full spectrum sunlight,
will output a greater current in sunlight, per square centimeter, than the SC-01.
