Is there a difference between a small Solar Panel, and an Encapsulated Solar Cell...? I'm looking for 10 Watts (either 9 V, or 2 X 4.5V), and have found both Panels and Excapsulated Cells, but I don't know the difference between the two.
I want to fit it onto a surface that will be 6.5" square, so I'm sure that is large enough, but don't know the difference(s) between the two solar part types.
TIA for info!

When You find a panel that small that delivers that much energy, let me know. I also would love to experiment with small area high output cells.
I currently have 4 RV panels that does an impressive job even with the lack of light we have here compared to other locations.

p .w listed.
), and
tI seriously doubt you will find a 10W panel to fit such a small physical space. The BP SX-10 model measures almost 11" x 16", for example.

I'm probably remembering something wrong, then...
But I'm still wondering what the difference is between a Solar Panel and an encapsulated Solar Cell.

A solar panel is an array of solar cells.

OK, I have to recheck then - I prob read some of the info wrong.
Meanwhile, thanks for the link -

Just smaller panels in a frame set that electrically connection them together with a protective package around them, transparent normally with a single pair of wires for the DC output.

-- At 10% efficiency, you\'ll get about 100 watts out of a square meter of PV, so a square 6.5" on a side will only get you 2.73 watts.

Thanks for the info, I obviously need to look more closely at all of this...

I know of some panels like that
A panel that produces average efficiencies of 26.5%,
Ultra Triple Junction that produces efficiencies of 28.3%
AND - XJT produces 29.9% efficiency
I believe you would get close to 8W with the Ultra Triple Junction. And yes you can purchase from them.
