SM141K04L – 4-Cell Monocrystalline Solar Cell for Handheld Applications
The SM141K04L from Anysolar is a Monocrystalline Solar Cell that consists of 4 cells. It provides an output voltage of 2.23 V and an output current of 55.1 mA. This solar cell is manufactured using monocrystalline Silicon technology and has a cell efficiency of 25%, thereby allowing it to operate even under low-light conditions while offering an increased battery life and run time in a small footprint. It exhibits a very good photonic response over a wide range of wavelengths, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. This solar cell’s design allows it to connect flexibly in series and/or parallel to fulfill the custom-specific application’s power requirements. It is available in a panel-mount package that measures 29.00 x 23.00 x 1.8 mm and is ideal for charging various battery-powered and handheld consumer products such as mobile phones, PDAs, MP3-Players, toys, RFID tags, and camera applications.

It would be nice if we could get efficiency above 25% which is an improvement over 21% but still needs to be increased somehow. I read some time back about a design that went 3D and got over 50% but never saw any proof of concept so I can’t say if this was reality or just speculation and hype. However any design in that range would certainly have killed the current industry and inventory sales.
