This is a 5W, 6V Solar Panel. It's our largest 6V panel, and if you want to direct-charge high-power USB devices like cell phones, tablets, GPSs and other portable electronics, this is the panel for you. 5W of charging power means this panel, in full sunlight, can charge most portable devices in the same time it normally takes to charge from a wall charger. This panel is also compatible with the Raspberry Pi. Glass and EVA encapsulated for a 20 year estimated lifetime.

After a few setbacks, a Lake Mary company behind what is expected to become Florida's largest solar farm is ready to start capturing the sun's energy with a sea of photovoltaic panels.
Tens of thousands of the panels will cover an area large enough in Sorrento to hold 300 football fields once the alternative-energy project is completed in a few years. BlueChip Energy recently received approval on a zoning change from Lake County, which was needed to move forward with the massive solar farm 30 miles northwest of Orlando.
