CDPAPAR SOLAR PANEL FOR DAILY

USE AS A MASS PROCUCTALL OVER THE WORLD.

Easy-to-use paper solar panel products are made in the traditional paper sizes such as A4 (297mm x 210mm) and A0 (1189mm x 841mm).

With a panel of the size A4 you can charge the mobile phone. The panel of the size A0 collects energy for the use of one laptop.

The service life of the solar panel is 20 years.

SIZE A0 - Paper solar panel

It has been plated on plastic, in which there are folds.
