37 x 33mm Polycrystalline Solar Cell

This is our first replacement solar cell for the Panasonic Sunceram series. It's a bit heavier, but it's also the same size, and much more robust - no more broken glass, or touchy solder-pads! These are mounted on sturdy fibreglass backing, with color-coded polarity solder tabs.

As for performance, these panels are pretty much the equal or better than their Panasonic counterparts, with only marginally less performance in low-light conditions. It offers 6.1V at 23mA in its 37x33mm package.

Here's a tip submitted by Rick Steenblik:

After using your SCC3733 solar cells for a couple of bots I noticed that they can be altered to provide about 3.3v at near 80ma (in full sun) by cutting the bus connector on the back to electrically separate the two sides of the cell and then to cross-connect the two sides of the bus to the + and - contacts. This puts the two sides in parallel.
