Solar Cells

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.
