Summary of the Tamiya 76009 Solar Panel

The Tamiya 76009 Solar Panel provides a compact way to experiment with solar energy in model and classroom setups. It combines a focus on reliable output with a design intended for hands-on learning.

Design notes and longevity

A polycrystalline silicon cell is coated in epoxy resin to extend service life, and the plastic frame shields the module from routine knocks. With a maximum output of 0.5V and 1500mA, the panel is appropriate for driving Tamiya motors and small gear trains in demonstration projects.

Educational and hobbyist uses

Designed for lesson plans and hobby builds, the Tamiya 76009 Solar Panel works well with Tamiya Solar Motors and gearboxes such as the Low-Current Motor Gearbox (3-Speed), allowing users to study energy conversion and motor behaviour under different lighting.

Specifications

  • Case Dimensions: 135x62x9.5mm
  • Weight: 37g
  • Max Output: 0.5V/1500mA (at 80,000lux)
It will power Tamiya Solar Motors and similar low-current motors; check motor current needs against the panel output to ensure suitable performance.
Wipe the surface to remove dust, avoid harsh solvents, and inspect the frame and connections periodically to maintain consistent results.
Yes, with careful handling and stable mounting it is suitable for repeated experiments, though output will always depend on light conditions.
Ensure a clean surface, correct orientation to the light source, and use bright, diffuse lighting for consistent laboratory-style measurements.
