Solar Panels For Homes

Can anyone recommend solar cells and solar panels for a physics experiment?

I am doing a physics experiment where I need to compare the efficiency of the two. Solar panel for radiation>heat water and solar cells for radiation>electrical energy.

go to the Maplin web side they have them for small experiments, if you want large ones do a search for manufacturers
