You've asked for a module that puts out 6-9 volts @ 100 mA. A more
accurate description of a solar panel would be that it puts out 100 mA at 6-9 volts. Also the currewnt outputdepends somewhat on the latitude you're at. You won't get all that current at the arctic circle. ============================= As a rule of thumb , a starting angle (from horizontal) for setting up a solar panel is Degrees Latitude plus 10 degrees. My QTH is at 57 degrees north ,so I have initially set up the 2 panels (each fitted at ground level on an adjustable hinged wooden frame) at approx 67 degrees. , pointing due south ,which is about optimal (not having a tracking system) I use 2 make: Unisolar ,64Wp panels which have a non or low reflecting surface made of a polymer ( no glass). Rated output per panel 3.88 Amperes at 16.5 volts ; short circuit current 6.3 Amperes. Charging 12 V Lead -Acid batteries to 14.4 V , voltage limited by a home made shunt controller . System includes a 150 Watts wind generator , to support system during windy (and usually sunless) periods Purpose : Amateur Radio station with peripherals including 12 V halogen bulbs desk lighting.
