Solar Cell Products

The Clare Solar Cell is a revolutionary new product offering that addresses the diverse needs and applications of the growing low power solar energy market. This technology development is based on Clares strength in photovoltaic silicon processing and IC packaging. The Solar Cell product family offers open circuit voltage levels of 4V and 8V when activated by natural or artificial light. These voltage levels correlate to common circuit board power supply voltages making the solar cell ideal for battery charging applications and trickle charge power sources. Standard JEDEC SOIC package styles make these Solar Cell products ideal for prototype and large production usage.

The CPC1822 is one of the first members of the Clare Solar Cell product family. It produces a floating source open-circuit potential of 4V and a short-circuit current output of 50
