Solar power workshop

[Bear]

Thats a cool project OTP57, and a great cause. I looked at both the solar project, and the solar cells photo series, but didn't see the origin of the basic components. Do you buy those parts to start with in making the solar cells?
I was talking to a cousin not long ago, and he mentioned some solar cells could be purchased in bulk for like a $100 and then assembled into panels which could then be sold for 3-400 $ Maybe I should have asked more info

Ebay is one way of getting parts to build panels but selling them for $300 to $400 each will be very hard because the price is dropping on panels
HF sell panels that WORKS and the price is very hard to beat, check youtube.
You can buy two HF kits and get 90 watts of solar and 4 light two charging units in a kit for under $260 if you get the disconts.
I hope this helps.
