XRSOLAR Small Solar Panels
XRSOLAR Makes small solar panels for outdoor IoT application
small solar panel Specialists at XRSOLAR
XRSOLAR designs and manufactures custom, high-quality solar power panels. The small solar panels for a wide range of industrial applications including transportation, agriculture, parking, and environmental monitoring. We work with you to understand your dimensional and power requirements, translate those into technical drawings, test for performance within your design, and manage the supply chain and import process.
Different type of small solar panel
Small solar panels - Epoxy resin: solar Panel is cheapest, short life. The surface glue will turn yellow use long time. Lower UV resistant.
Small Solar Panels - PET : Solar Panel will be inexpensive, but we don't recommend this coating for most industrial applications as it tends to have a relatively short lifetime. Lower UV resistant.
Small Solar Panels - ETEF : Economical, waterproof and UV resistant. Solar cells are attached to the substrate and then laminated under heat and pressure by EVA and ETFE. With high-quality materials (there is a difference in the production quality of ETFE and EVA), our ETFE solar panels have an expected life of 7+ years outside.
Small solar panels- Glass: Great UV resistance and combined with a frame, a glass panel can have the longest lifetime. Glass panels are the heaviest on a per Watt basis.
How to choose small solar panel
Selecting the right custom solar panel for your project can be challenging given the numerous options available.
Custom sizes and shapes can fit unique installation spaces. And match the electrical specifications to your system requirements. Choose the appropriate thickness for structural and aesthetic needs.
Each material has its own advantages:
PET Panels: Ideal for cost-sensitive projects needing flexibility.
ETFE Panels: Suitable for projects requiring high durability and UV resistance.
Glass Panels: Best for permanent installations with a focus on aesthetics and longevity.

FAQ- customized solar panel
Q1: What exactly is a small solar panel?
A: “Small” generally refers to solar panels with a power output ranging from under 1 watt up to around 50 or 100 watts. These panels are typically compact, lightweight, and designed for portable or low-power applications, unlike the larger panels used for residential or commercial grid-tied systems.
Q2 :What can I power with a small solar panel?
A: Small solar panels are ideal for charging or powering:
- Smartphones, tablets, and other small electronic devices.
- LED lights (camping lights, garden lights, security lights).
- Portable power banks and battery packs.
- Sensors and IoT devices (weather stations, animal trackers, smart home devices).
- Small pumps for fountains or aquariums.
- Vessel Monitoring Systems (VMS) and other marine electronics.
- DIY projects and educational kits.
- Trail cameras.
Q3: How do I choose the right size small solar panel?
A: Consider the following:
- Device power consumption: Check the voltage and amperage (or wattage) of the device you want to power.
- Operating hours: How long do you need the device to run daily?
- Sunlight hours: How many hours of effective sunlight will your panel receive per day in its intended location?
- Battery capacity: The panel should be able to recharge your battery within a reasonable timeframe.
As a general rule, calculate your device’s daily energy consumption (Wh or Ah) and choose a panel that can generate at least 1.5 to 2 times that amount, accounting for inefficiencies and varying sunlight.
Q4: Do I need a battery with my small solar panel?
A: In most cases, yes. A small solar panel’s output can fluctuate based on sunlight, and it doesn’t generate power at night. A battery stores the energy collected by the panel, providing a stable and continuous power supply to your device, even when the sun isn’t shining.
Q5: What kind of battery should I use with a small solar panel?
A: The best battery type depends on your specific needs:
- Lithium-ion (Li-ion): Lightweight, high energy density, good for portable applications, but can be more expensive.
- Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4): Excellent lifespan, safer than traditional Li-ion, good for deep cycling, but can be heavier.
- Sealed Lead-Acid (SLA) / AGM: More affordable, robust, but heavier and generally have a shorter cycle life than lithium batteries.
Always choose a battery with a suitable voltage (e.g., 3.7V, 5V, 12V) that matches your device and panel.
