Electronics for Organic Solar Cells

The OPV3W60V board is a customized DCDC converter kit made for high-voltage printed organic solar cells (OPV) and low power requirements from 0.5 to 3 Watts and up to 60 Volt input. It is ideal for charging batteries and works for small energy harvesting applications, Internet of Things (IoT), sensors, charging small devices (smartphones, power banks), and powering a variety of other USB devices.

The OPV3W60V board with maximum power point control (MPPC) comes in 3 versions and sets:

• USB (2x 60V solar input, 1x USB 5V output) buy now
• Charger (2x 60V solar input, 1x battery charger output 4.2V, 1x load, battery not included) buy now
• DIY (bare board, customizable input/output, charger or USB output, soldering and electronic components required) buy now

The USB version converts the energy from the sun directly into usable 5V at the USB port. The battery charger version is a solar charge controller for lithium-ion and lithium polymer (LiPo) batteries with a load-port to extract energy from the battery. The battery (i.e. 18650 LiPo 1S) is not included and an additional converter is required to extract energy, i.e. available from Adafruit. The DIY version can be modified by yourself and requires electronics knowledge, extra components and soldering experience.
