Subject: [alt-beam] thin film solar panels
content-transfer-encoding: 7bit
Hello fellow beamers,
Has anyone had experience using thin film 'ITF' type solar PV panels??
They look very interesting. A little big for small bots, but they have
superb amperage, and if 2 in series are used, great voltage. Their
flexibility is interesting, and because of their thinness - they must be
REALLY light.
The SunCerams are pretty heavy because of the glass, and how many of you
have dropped one and broken the panel...?

2 in series would give 6V at 50mA !! with the weight savings and the
ability to bend it around things, some very active creatures would be
possible!
Unfortunately, they only sell in bulk...
Anyone tried them?
