How do you make a good solar panel?
I’m thinking about making a nice little solar panel (not cell), any help?
Allowed:
Purchases of solar cells
purchase of other stuff (ie copper flashing’s, wires, etc.)
usage of basic non-electric tools
purchase of any material you can find at a local Home Depot/Walmart
Not allowed:
purchase/usage of electric tools (They scare me)
kits <(this is the big one)
I'm not sure if I can get my hands on a battery or meter thing or whatnot
No kits!
Anyways, I'm planning to buy cells on ebay, that might help
The panel doesn't have to be macho, it's just a little experiment... I'll be perfectly fine with anything that makes over 3 volts/watts/whateverthestandardunitis and it doesn't have to last more than a year
